HOW DO YOU PROVE
A PIECE OF FORMULA ONE IS REAL?

When something carries Formula One history, proof matters.

Every RESS Block starts long before the final piece is made. Before the metal is cut, finished or engraved, there’s a process built around one thing: making sure every collection can be traced back to a real moment in Formula One.

Because owning a piece of racing history means knowing exactly where it came from.

Step 1: Sourcing Real Formula One Parts

Every collection begins with sourcing.

Our sourcing and authenticity team use years of experience and relationships within Formula One to access real race-used parts from across the sport; from modern championship cars to iconic machines that shaped F1 history.

We work closely with current and historic teams, respected collectors and private owners to source parts with documented backgrounds and proven origins.

But sourcing is only the beginning.

Finding a part is one thing. Proving its story is another.

That’s where the research starts.

Step 2: Researching the History Behind Every Collection

Once a part is sourced, the deep dive begins. Every part goes through an extensive research process designed to build a complete picture of its life within Formula One. We trace the history behind the metal to understand not only what it is, but what it was part of.

This includes:

- Who designed it

- Which car it came from

- The driver & season connected to it

- Where it raced

- The wins, podiums, championships and defining moments it witnessed on track

Some parts are from cars that won races. Others may have during championship campaigns or iconic moments in F1 history.

A part could come from a car driven by a multiple world champion. It could have been on track at Silverstone, Monaco or Suzuka. It may have been there for podium finishes, title fights or championship-winning seasons.

Those details matter.

Because the story behind the part becomes part of the piece you own.

More Than Metal. A Timeline of Racing History

A Formula One part becomes something else entirely when you know where it raced, who drove it and the moments it lived through.

That history is what turns a RESS Block into more than jewellery.

Those details matter.

Because the story behind the part becomes part of the piece you own.

Step 3: Turning Research Into Your Digital Authenticity Record

Every RESS Block carries its own unique serial number, engraved directly onto the piece:

This serial unlocks your digital authenticity document.

Inside is the full story connected to your piece; built from the sourcing and research process behind the original part.

This includes:

- Part history

- Car and driver stats

- Race appearances

- Wins, podiums and points

- Season details

- Historic moments linked to the part

- Exclusive imagery and supporting records

In short, it gives context to your particular RESS Block.

Not just what the piece is - but where it’s been.

Step 4: Documenting the Journey Through Images

History should be visible.

That’s why the process is documented through photography from start to finish.

Original parts are photographed before production, during development and through to the final RESS Block. This creates a visual record showing the transformation from a Formula One part to finished piece.

These images become part of the wider authenticity record, adding another layer of proof and traceability.
