The RACING EDITION bracelet is a collector's and exclusive version of Spacefox's meteorite bracelets. Specially designed for the second edition of the Explorer Grand Prix, this remastered version of the Spacefox bracelet is limited to just 250 pieces.
Available exclusively for purchase on the day of the event at the Bugatti Circuit in Le Mans, this bracelet is more than just an accessory. It is a lasting and tangible memento of an exceptional and unforgettable experience. Embodying the spirit and adrenaline of this special day, the RACING EDITION bracelet offers its owners an elegant and meaningful way to commemorate their participation in a legendary moment in the world of motorsport.
In 2020, during the fourth Z Event session, YouTuber Squeezie proposed organizing an in-person Formula 4 tournament . He revealed the details of this project during a live Twitch stream on April 5, 2022. It's now official: the first event will take place on October 8, 2022, at the Bugatti Circuit in Le Mans. Attracting 22 French streamers and web content creators divided into eleven teams, these motorsport enthusiasts underwent months of training to be able to participate in the competition. Sylvain Lévy, representing the duo Vilebrequin, won this inaugural edition. Depielo and Étienne Moustache completed the podium, finishing in second and third place respectively.
On May 3, 2023, Squeezie announced the organization of the second edition of the Explorer Grand Prix, which will take place on September 9, 2023, once again at the Bugatti Circuit in Le Mans. This time, the event will feature 12 teams for a total of 24 participants, including streamers, web content creators, and French rappers. For this new edition, Spacefox will join the event and will be present in the circuit village, one of the event's attractions.
Space and motor racing are two closely linked fields. Designing the most powerful engines, finding the strongest and lightest materials, striving for perfect aerodynamics, ensuring the reliability of every component...
These are areas of excellence in search of optimal performance.
Single-seaters hurtling across the asphalt like meteorites streaking across the sky. Spacefox's presence at the Explorer GP was therefore a natural fit.
We were keen to surprise the spectators of this event. What better way to connect the automotive and space worlds than with a DeLorean from Back to the Future on the Martian-like surface of our stand?
Upon opening your Collision box, you will discover an elegant and refined bracelet.
This one is enhanced with a touch of Burnt Umber. Our inspiration? The shade of vintage leather driving gloves used for piloting back in the day.
Since steel is the most commonly used material in the automotive industry, we opted for 316L stainless steel for our watch case designs. A brushed and polished finish is applied to achieve a perfectly smooth and shiny case.
Finally, we chose to adorn our bracelets with a fragment of the Muonionalusta meteorite. This iron meteorite is distinguished by the Widmanstätten patterns it displays.
The meteorite contained in the Racing Edition bracelet was analyzed and classified by the Meteoritical Society to determine its chemical composition and thus its origins. The unique characteristic of this stone is the Widmanstätten pattern : after being heated to over 1000°C, the alloy recrystallizes into fine needles as it cools over millions of years.
To immortalize the unforgettable memory of this day and to forever engrave the essence of this experience in metal, we designed a special polished aluminum plaque.
On this plaque, you will have the pleasure of discovering the specific number of your limited edition. Each uniquely numbered piece is part of a very limited series of 250 copies, making your possession all the more precious.
Upon carefully opening your box, you will discover your assigned number. This number, engraved on the polished aluminum plaque, will indicate precisely which of the 250 available copies you have the honor of owning. This discovery adds a personal and exclusive dimension to your experience.
In addition to your bracelet, we are pleased to offer a Racing Edition polishing cloth specially designed to care for it without risk of damage. This meticulously crafted care accessory is an essential addition to maintain the shine and beauty of your bracelet over time.
Made in France , our polishing cloth is crafted from 100% high-quality cotton, guaranteeing optimal softness and effectiveness during cleaning. It is impregnated with a specially formulated cleaning solution that gently cares for your bracelet, preserving its integrity while restoring its original shine. This solution has been carefully selected to ensure impeccable results without compromising the finish or durability of your jewelry.
Using the Racing Edition polishing cloth will help maintain the pristine, glossy appearance of your watch strap by removing fingerprints, dust, and any dirt that may accumulate over time. It's the ideal way to preserve your watch, ensuring its shine and charm are maintained year after year.
The RACING EDITION bracelet is more than just a piece of jewelry ; it's a lasting memento of the 2023 Explorer Grand Prix, limited to 250 pieces.
