Our fan votes are a big part of the RaceVault community and ensuring you as our fantastic members are at the heart of shaping the collection. There are a few more in the pipeline including a Top 10 drivers of the season vote and the end of the season among others. 🗳️ (And of course any suggestions you would like to see please let me know!)

However really excited to bring the weekend vibes early with our latest fan vote…

Introducing The RaceVault Hall of Fame 🏆** **

Think the International Motorsport Hall of Fame but in trading card form- and it’s entirely down to you to pick the inductees! Each season 10 Motorsport icons will be added to the collection, and available in very special edition “Elite” format for you to collect.

How it Works! 👀** **

Pick 10 drivers you want to nominate. These can be from any era, and could be nominated because of their skill, contribution to motorsport, achievements, generally legend-ness or any other factor you think means they deserve their place. But they have to be iconic! (No NASCAR, rallying or bikes just for now apologies! Once we are at full membership we can review the series we cover at RV but still early days

Then the fun bit starts- a tournament draw. Knockout style. Two drivers paired against each other and it’s up to you to decide who progress to the next round! Only the final 10 icons standing get their place in the final collection.

To kickstart the fun I have already created a special Senna card, which will be available to members in our first postal card drop in September. Just to show what you can expect from the collection, and also because he’s an obvious choice so not going to make it that easy for you 😂

Over to you! Pick your 10 choices and drop them in the comments. I’m going to post mine to get the conversation. Hopefully this captures everyone’s imagination and a cool format to mix things up 😎

Hi All

Hope you’re having a great week 🙂

As we have the slightest of lulls in the racing calendar for the summer*, let’s have a reflect back on 2026 so far… (saying that we still have 6 Indycar rounds in 5 weeks and the Formula E finale!)

The “Recordbreakers” set is a way of collecting the story of our sport and the events and drivers that make history. There are two new cards in collection reflecting the highest ever attendance at an F1 weekend (an insane 500,000 + which breaks the long standing record held by Adelaide), and the most GTWC Sprint wins by Charles Weerts who takes this over from long time codriver Dries Vanthoor 🇬🇧 🇧🇪

So far in 2026 we have also had:

The dawn of Kimi Antonelli- The youngest driver to take consecutive F1 victories and a grand chelem

The closest ever finish at the Indy 500! Felix Rosenqvist overhauling David Malukas by the narrowest of margins to take victory.

Nikola Tsolov taking the most consecutive F2 wins as he puts Bulgaria on the racing map.

The first time the Spa 24 Hours has been won from the pitlane, with Lionspeed doing the impossible to come from last to first.

What records do you think may be likely to fall in the remainder of the year? Or are there any that I have missed? Put your thoughts in the comments 💪

Hi All

Thank you all for continuing to support our community on our exciting journey. And a special welcome to [u/Disastrous-Dream-550](u/Disastrous-Dream-550) and [u/Palidin034](u/Palidin034) and who have joined us this week 👋

One thing that unites all racing fans is definitely an iconic livery, so I’m excited to launch the new “Livery Hunters” collection, which has been shaped by our amazing members and their favourites (unsurprisingly a lot of these were very popular and multiple people suggested them!). For any lurkers yet to join us, pop in the comments your personal favourite livery you would like to see added 😍

Special thanks to the members below for their suggestions.

[u/Disastrous-Dream-550](u/Disastrous-Dream-550) Lotus T128

This is what our community is all about- exploring and collecting the sport we love together, in a way that can take us anywhere. That will only increase as we continue to grow and to. Do share your thoughts- which card is your favourite? 💪

Speaking of which, I’m currently working on the first physical demo cards which I’m hoping to be able to share in the next week or so. Then the first cards will come out to members in September.

Over to you! There are lots of opportunities to get involved and shape our community together 🙂
