Celebrating 75 Years of Formula One

2025 marks a landmark moment in motorsport history. It all began 75 years ago on May 13, 1950, at the legendary Silverstone Circuit, launching a new era in racing.

To commemorate this special occasion, we created a trophy that reflects Formula One’s rich heritage and pays tribute to the champions who have shaped its history.

Much like the iconic gold RAC Trophy, it features the names of all of Silverstone’s past winners, but unlike the original, the winner gets to keep this one.

It stands as a symbol of Formula One’s spirit: always progressing, yet never forgetting where it began.

While the commission was ultimately awarded to the race title sponsor, our proposal fused performance data, additive manufacturing, and traditional British craftsmanship to create something truly unique for this year’s Silverstone Grand Prix podium finishers.

Data driven design

Using real circuit data including speed, braking force and g-force, a series of evolving cross-sections were generated and then seamlessly connected to form a flowing 3D sculpture, with the Silverstone track and its infamous corners instantly recognisable to drivers and fans alike.

There are also subtle design cues that reference Silverstone’s WWII airfield origins

Colour, Material and Finish Proposals

  • Reinforced Ceramic

    White opaque tin glaze with hand painted iron oxide “racing line” detail.

  • Titanium Alloy

    Picosecond laser treated to form thin oxide layers like heat exposed metal.

  • RAC Trophy Gold

    Anodised and colour matched to the gold Royal Automobile Club Trophy.

  • Recycled, Forged Carbon

    Satin gloss finish recycled carbon with embedded gold leaf flakes

The main form required intricate tuning to be 3D printed in Scalmalloy (an FIA-approved aluminium alloy) before being mounted on a two-piece machined aluminium base designed to cradle a jeroboam of Moët….ready for enthusiastic celebrations…

…and just in case there were any legendary champagne-bottle spikes, we made sure it was (unofficially) “Lando-proof.

To bring a sense of heritage and craft, the finishing touch was entrusted to Vaughtons, the same talented craftspeople behind Aston Martin’s iconic wing badges, who were set to hand-enamel each place badge.

In a first for F1, the design allowed for the same tooling to be used to produce a set of super limited-edition “Ingots” offering fans a rare and tangible connection to the race and the trophies themselves.
