The Racerhead Indycar Gift Guide 2021

Made just for Brickyard fans

This Racerhead Indycar Gift Guide is dedicated to open-wheel joy! From Boyle to Lotus and Penske, there’s something for even the most diehard Indy 500 lover.

Point the way to happiness

The road sign at the top of the page bears the name of the holiest of holy Indycar races, the Indy 500. Your resident Indy fan will use their phone’s compass to correctly point this metal sign in the right direction towards the month of May palace of speed. Available from Press Monster. You’ll also find Indy 3D bodywork to go with any Indy art collection. You can see the full Indy collection and a whole lot more here.

All kinds of Indy team apparel

Indy fans love wearables in support of their favorite teams and drivers. Team Penske has a bunch of hats and shirts to support all of their drivers. However if anyone has been a fan of Team Penske since the dawn of racing, then this retro tee will bring a smile. The logo harks back to the early days of the team when Mark Donohue was the star driver and Team Penske was’t the huge thing it is now. Check out the whole Penske apparel selection here.

Other great gifts can be had from Andretti Autosport, Rahal Letterman Lannigan, McLaren SP, and Dale Coyne Racing.

Models of course!

No Indy fan is complete without at least a few models on their shelves and the Racerhead Indycar Gift Guide delivers. Replicarz is your source for 1/43 and 1/18 scale Indy models. A really nice example in 1/18th is this 1940 Indy 500 winner, the Boyle Special. The car won its second Indy 500 win in a row driven by Wilber Shaw. The Boyle Special was actually a Maserati Formula One car repurposed to run in the 500. It seemed to work just fine too! The fact that a foreign manufacturer had its car win the Indy 500 was novel at the time.

The model has lots of detail everywhere. Good work in the cockpit area reveals a simulated leather-wrapped steering wheel, legible guages and a shifter right in the middle of the car. An appreciated detail is the heat discoloration on the side exhaust pipe. The faux leather straps on the hood have photoetched buckles and the hood comes off to show the fully wired Maserati engine in all its glory.
