Hidden Heroes of Motorsport: Why Craft-Bamboo Racing Deserves a Place in Every Collector's Garage

Hidden Heroes of Motorsport: Why Craft-Bamboo Racing Deserves a Place in Every Collector's Garage

When people think of motorsport memorabilia, Formula 1 teams such as Ferrari, McLaren, and Williams often come to mind. But beyond the Formula 1 paddock are dozens of teams that have built remarkable reputations across touring cars, GT racing, and endurance competition.

One such team is Craft-Bamboo Racing.

While it may not be a household name to every motorsport fan, Craft-Bamboo Racing has become one of Asia's most successful and respected racing teams. For collectors, authentic teamwear and official merchandise from the team are becoming increasingly sought after as interest in touring car and GT racing continues to grow.

From Humble Beginnings to International Success

Founded in Hong Kong, Craft-Bamboo Racing quickly established itself as a professional outfit competing across some of the world's most competitive touring car and GT championships.

Over the years the team has enjoyed success in:

  • TCR International Series
  • TCR Asia Series
  • GT World Challenge Asia
  • Asian Le Mans Series
  • Intercontinental GT Challenge

Its commitment to professionalism and strong driver line-ups helped establish Craft-Bamboo Racing as one of the leading independent teams in international motorsport. 

The SEAT León TCR Era

One of the team's most memorable chapters came during the rise of TCR touring car racing.

Running the highly competitive SEAT León TCR, Craft-Bamboo Racing became one of the benchmark teams in the championship. The combination of experienced engineers, talented drivers, and the proven SEAT León package resulted in multiple race victories and championship success.

For touring car enthusiasts, the blue, white, and green Craft-Bamboo Racing colours have become instantly recognisable.

Why Collectors Are Taking Notice

Unlike Formula 1 merchandise, official Craft-Bamboo Racing teamwear was produced in much smaller numbers.

Many shirts, jackets, and pit crew garments were issued exclusively to team personnel, mechanics, engineers, sponsors, and VIP guests rather than being widely available to the public.

As a result, genuine examples have become increasingly difficult to source. Collectors are now looking beyond Formula 1 and recognising that team-issued clothing from touring car and GT racing offers both rarity and an authentic connection to modern motorsport history.
