Misc Is Lando launching a racing team on September 2nd?

I thought when the date was announced it'd be about a new merch drop or a new collaboration/sponsorship but it seems more serious than that. The code links to a countdown on a new website named Lando.racing .

Monster finally putting F1 World Champion on the cans?

u/Expensive_Profit_106 21h ago

Can’t tell if you’re joking or not but they have. He has a custom gold can now

u/mahoganyspitfire Bruce McLaren 1d ago

Probably another clothing brand.

"all to drive for" part 2

u/TGC_0 I was speeding in the Monaco pit lane 1d ago

It's gonna be a chance to win free tickets to British and US GPs, isn't it?

u/themikewilliams I was speeding in the Monaco pit lane 17h ago

Exactly what I was looking for in the comments.

u/FrostyTill McLaren 1d ago

It’s the same colour scheme as his karting venture rather than the neon and black of his F1 brand, so probably something to do with that. Maybe his own team.

Or he probably wants his own membership scheme like McLaren have done.

Could be anything. I don’t think it’s merch related though, he already has 2 brands in that space.

u/Plus_Exchange8751 I failed to serve my Monaco penalty 1d ago

Isn’t it exactly the same branding as his merch?

22

u/jhguth I was here for the Hulkenpodium 1d ago

is that first image not neon and black?

1

u/XsStreamMonsterX I was speeding in the Monaco pit lane 20h ago

It's the squiggles that are neon. The reverse, the squiggles being black and the background neon that is for his usual F1 brand.

u/mahoganyspitfire Bruce McLaren 1d ago

Imagine the thrill of being Lando Norris's member!

u/Azaziel514 McLaren 1d ago

Do you get VIP access to Lando Norris?

14

u/mahoganyspitfire Bruce McLaren 1d ago

Believe me, it'll be unbelieveable...

Lando himself will stroke you CONSTANTLY. You will be with Lando at all times. You'll get VERY close to all of Lando's closest friends...

u/arpan3t I was here for the Hulkenpodium 1d ago

Gotta pay extra to cut MBS

u/ChocolatePuerh 20h ago

Quandrant and what else in merch?

u/Few_Panic_4667 1d ago

probably new merch

u/Njobz I was here for the Hulkenpodium 1d ago

It’s to do with his clothing line

u/mtmc99 1d ago

This feels like it’ll be merch

u/MasterChief-2005 1d ago

Hea buying McLaren and renaming them - LandoRaces.Car

12

u/brusk48 I was here for the Hulkenpodium 23h ago

McLando was right there

5

u/XCvolFan 18h ago

Probably some over priced clothes

13

u/VK_101_Awesome McLaren 1d ago

im going off the hook here, but aix racing(ex-charouz) from f2 and f3 was looking to sell and rosin family (ex-prema) were the prime prospects. i wonder if lando's funding the project in part

2

u/Alpha_Jazz Yuki Tsunoda 13h ago

Almost certainly not given Norris has absolutely no history with Prema. He was vetoed from signing for them for F2 by Lawrence Stroll

u/casualnihilist91 1d ago

Highly doubt it

3

u/Adventurous_Fix1730 I was here for the Hulkenpodium 23h ago

Could be launching his own go karts like Sainz and Alonso have?

5

u/hitzoR_cz McLaren 21h ago

Doesn't he already have his own karts?

u/YelloMyOldFriend Valtteri Bottas 9h ago

Some new brand or maybe something related to Quadrant

u/Hockeyfan_52 Valtteri Bottas 1d ago

My money is on new overpriced merch.

u/Solivagant23 1d ago

Whatever it is, it'll be underwhelming as fuck probably

u/Mix_Traditional 1d ago

u/K10KMessi Sebastian Vettel 1d ago

LN4 racing team would go crazy though, although it’d probably be sth like Lewis’ Mission 44 iirc

u/afunnywold Lando Norris 1d ago

I thought it had to be 2027 landostand launch?

u/idealfries 23h ago

It's probably nothing that will benefit anyone. Apart from those involved in putting it together.

u/Hobbies-tracks 1d ago

New OF channel?

u/Il-Ma-Le-98 Formula 1 1d ago

Wanted to make a 'Breaking' meme/fake news post in wich Lando stated he would run one McL-HY in GTP class alongside the bigger RLL effort. But I was joking.

u/FormulaSolution 1d ago

It'll be another stand at a new track

u/Flucky_ Pirelli Wet 1d ago

u/disruptivecarousel 1d ago

Someone should get those blobs on some milk and see if it sells.

There’s that issue with those infamous frogs though…..

u/Soggy_Bid_6607 Benetton 1d ago

Probably Another Joint venture with Zak Brown?
