The History of FansBRANDS® and Pit Box Ltd.

The history of FansBRANDS® began with Pit Box Kft., which we founded in 2011 with the aim of offering premium quality products to Formula 1™ fans. Initially, we operated offline and our primary goal was to sell Formula 1™ products on race tracks across Europe. Our first sale was made in 2011 at the famous Monaco Grand Prix , which was soon followed by other European races, such as Barcelona (Spain) , Hockenheim (Germany) , Hungaroring (Hungary) , Spa-Francorchamps (Belgium) and Monza (Italy) . These venues established the company's market presence and commitment to motorsport.

In response to growing interest, we opened our first online store in 2012, allowing fans across Europe to access Formula 1™ products from the comfort of their homes. In parallel, offline sales continued to play a key role, as our presence on the racetracks strengthened our direct connection with fans.

In 2020, the FansBRANDS® brand name was born, which took the operations of Pit Box Kft. to a new level. At the time of launch, the brand was not yet officially protected, but the goal was to ensure the exclusive use of the name over time. As a result, on September 30, 2021, the brand was officially protected, which strengthened our international presence and secured the future of the brand.

FansBRANDS® is now a globally recognized brand among motorsport fans. Building on the foundation of Pit Box Ltd., the company continuously expands its offering, introduces innovative solutions, and represents the passion for Formula 1™ in all its activities.

2011 - Pit Box Ltd.

The history of FansBRANDS® can be traced back to 2011, one of the heydays of Formula 1™, when the whole world was burning with F1™ fever. That's when Pit Box Ltd. was founded. We introduced ourselves at the Monaco Grand Prix and then took on nearby venues one by one. And by the end of the year, we thought about the idea of ​​​​the web store...

2012 - Duna Plaza - F1BOX - forma1-box.hu

Old bikers may still remember us from Duna Pláza. F1BOX started to conquer fans both online and offline. But the development did not stop there, we soon needed a larger warehouse...

2017 - Vac - Formula1 BRANDS

We moved to Vác, where we managed to create a real Formula 1™ empire. But why did we decide to change the name to F1BOX? We were eyeing the international market, because now you can sell from a webshop to anywhere in the world, and we wanted people to immediately understand what we do. That's how the name Formula 1 Brands came about. But even that wasn't the right one, so soon there was another change...

2019 - a new era - FansBRANDS®

We've reached the milestone! New webshop, new name and new goals. We've launched international stores, our Facebook and Instagram pages, our VIP Membership, Online Wallet and other extras. From now on, there's no change, only development. Development so that every Formula 1™ fan gets what they want.

2021 - Our showroom is closed

We modernized our warehouse management, which meant outsourcing our warehouse logistics to a professional external company that can accommodate many more products, thus increasing our warehouse capacity. At the same time, our showroom was closed and we added new services to our webshop to make ordering online even more convenient.

2022 - Our office moved to a new location

Our new address, where we also accept returned packages: 2600 Vác, Rádi út 1-3. The team is expanding, the office is expanding, the selection is expanding. More and more products are being added to our webshop, which are of course in our Hungarian warehouse and we deliver immediately.

Our goal

What else could a Formula 1™ company want than to win the hearts of F1™ fans around the world? We will be the biggest business, and our brand will be on the same level as NASA, Apple and Amazon. This is our vision and this is the only way we can move forward. The question is, are you with us?
