Red Racer Books

F1 fans, it’s race week in Canada 🇨🇦 🏁 Montreal is fast, tricky, and unforgiving as drivers fly past the famous Wall of Champions. Valtteri Bottas still holds the lap record here with a 1:13.078 ⚡Who’s ready for Canada?

🎉 Big news: Red Racer Books are now available at Circuit of The Americas! 🇺🇸
If you’re heading to COTA for karting, Ferrari Challenge North America, or an event, keep an eye out for our children’s F1 racing books.🏁
This one means a lot to me. COTA was my first track, and the US Grand Prix was my first F1 race. That trip helped spark Red Racer Books, and the iconic COTA tower even made its way into ABCs of Racing with the “W is for Wings” illustration.
Seeing our books on the shelves at the track that helped inspire them is pretty special.
Huge thanks to COTA for welcoming Red Racer Books into the shop. And with COTALAND opening up this summer, it’s exciting to see COTA becoming an even bigger destination for families and future race fans.

✈️ F1 is back in the USA 🇺🇸 Next stop, Miami. 🌴🏁 McLaren and Red Bull have owned the top step here so far, with two wins each. But year five at Miami feels like the perfect time for a new team to take P1 under the palms.
Mercedes, maybe? 👀
