At long last, the time has come to shed our winter coats and don our racing suits, because the motorsport season is finally kicking off! Racing is all about fine margins and what you do off-track can have a huge effect on your on-track lap times, so make sure you’re in the right headspace when you line up to the starting grid with our collection of must-have racing essentials. Whether it’s Kenyan coffee beans from our friends at Drive Coffee to help start your day right, or a new pair of Vandel driving shoes to ensure flawless heel and toe downshifts, we’ve got you covered. After you’ve crossed the finish line in first place, the new TAG Heuer Gulf Special Edition will help ensure you make it home on time, and once you’re there, Garage Italia’s car detailing kit will restore your ride to its usual gleaming finish. However, that’s just the start, because there’s plenty more from the CD shop in our list of racing essentials, so click the link below to take a look.
