All about FansBRANDS

Meet one of the largest Formula 1 online stores in the world and the team behind it!

Our motto is "Connecting the world of Formula 1!"

Formula 1 and FansBRANDS were created for the fans and it is thanks to the fans that it has gotten to where it is. You too are part of the community that we at FansBRANDS are grateful for and that has helped us become the world's leading F1 online store.

That's why we focus on the fans and develop all our services to be the best for them, that is, for you. Not only will we dress from head to toe in the latest Formula 1 fashion, but if you walk in with your eyes open, you will also become a member of the real F1 community.

Our story – milestones – goals

2011 - Pit Box Ltd.

The history of Fans BRANDS ® dates back to 2011, when Formula 1 was in full swing, when the whole world was burning with F1 fever. That's when Pit Box Kft was founded. We debuted at the Monaco Grand Prix and then went to other places. And by the end of the year we were thinking about the idea of an online store...
2012 - Dune Plaza - F1BOX - forma1-box.hu

F1BOX began to conquer fans both online and offline. However, 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 had our eye on the international market, since it can now be sold anywhere in the world from an online store, and we wanted to see what we were doing right away. That's how it started to be called Formula 1 Brands. But that wasn't it either, so soon another change came...
2019 - a new era - Fans BRANDS ®

We got there! New online store, new name and new goals. We launched our international stores, Facebook and Instagram pages, VIP membership, online wallet and other extras. From now on, there is no change, only evolution. Improvements so that every Formula 1 fan gets what they want.
2021 - Our showroom has closed

We have modernized our warehouse management, resulting in outsourcing warehouse logistics to a professional external company that can accommodate many more products, thereby increasing our warehouse capacity. In parallel, our showroom was closed and we added new services to our online store to make online ordering even more convenient.
2022 - Our office moved to a new location

Our new address, where we also wait for 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 we of course have in stock in Hungary and deliver them immediately.
Our goal

What else could a company that deals with Formula 1 have the goal of winning the hearts of F1 fans around the world? We will be the biggest store and our brand will be listed alongside NASA, Apple and Amazon. This is our vision and we can only go in this direction. The question is, will you stay with us?

Fans BRANDS ® Team

Okay, but who is behind the scenes? The team changes from time to time, but rather expands. We work every day with the utmost effort to provide the best. We don't stop working until 4pm, even on weekends. Our lives revolve around Formula 1...

Manufacturer's warranty

It is important to note that with Formula 1 products, the manufacturer is directly responsible for the warranty. There is no joking around about quality here, and they know it very well.

Accepting online wallets

We were among the first to be among the fair online stores in Hungary, which is the best thing for customers, because everyone can save thousands of forints on their order! If you don't have an Online Wallet yet, register on this link and we will give you 5,000 HUF!

VIP membership

At Fans BRANDS ®, we take loyalty seriously: returning customers have the opportunity to earn a VIP membership, which gives them an extra 10% discount on almost every product.

Newsletter and competition announcement

The best offers are only sent in the newsletter. Seriously! Here you can enjoy the best gifts. Last but not least, you will not miss the Formula 1 race because we will send you a notification.

Telephone order

If you're still not sure, give us a call and we'll help you place your order (in Hungarian, English and Romanian)! However, you'll need an email address because you'll receive messages...

Worldwide delivery

Even if you are on the other side of the world, it won't be a problem for us: You will be surprised when the courier delivers your order the next day ;-)

10,000 Formula 1 products in our warehouse

If I had to tell you in one word what you will find in our store and on our website, then EVERYTHING THAT IS FORMULA 1! A little more precisely, we have a permanent stock of thousands of products available for all Formula 1 fans. The products come to us directly from the manufacturer's workshop in London. All are original and with a guarantee. We also follow the changes in Formula 1, if a new team or competitor comes or someone changes teams, for the first time we will also have fan products.

We are waiting for your interest on multiple channels.

Contact us by phone at +36 27 300 600! We will help with size selection, ordering, warranty. We are waiting for calls from Formula 1 fans from 9:00 to 16:00 (UTC + 2).

If the answer is not urgent or for some reason we cannot answer the phone, or it is the weekend, write to us and we will get back to you within 1 business day. Emails sometimes end up in spam, so use GMAIL instead!

You can also send us a message on Facebook. We also answer there, because it's more convenient for some people. We try to be present in all areas, Formula 1 is waiting for questions everywhere with open doors ;-)

In 2022, we also introduced WhatsApp as a new service where you can easily connect with us on your mobile or computer. We respond almost immediately during business hours.

Our partners

Over the years, we have tested many agency and outsourced companies. However, we will only settle for the best. Fortunately, there are those who help us achieve our goals. Of course, this does not mean that we do not look for anything else in case of deterioration in quality, so we greet them from here: thank you and wish you further fruitful cooperation!

Fans BRANDS ® is NETMIX's number one VIP customer. When it comes to website creation or online marketing, we only turn to them because they put a lot of energy into understanding our thinking and goals.

We deliver packages within Hungary with GLS. GLS is the largest and fastest. They are more expensive than others, but we think that every Formula 1 fan deserves to receive their order the next day.

UPS is GLS's big brother: they deliver next day anywhere in the world. And we expect them to provide an exclusive service for such exclusive products.

It is the leading provider of internet and telephone services in Pest County. It is also important to be aware of this, as without a secure connection, communication with our customers would be difficult, which is not allowed.
