The Originals

$65.00

“Keeping the Spirit Alive” isn’t just a slogan — it’s the entire reason B-Sedan still exists today.


This hat celebrates the original heroes of under-two-liter sedan racing: the Ford Lotus Cortina, Alfa Romeo GTA, and BMW 1800 TiSA — three lightweight giants that defined one of the most competitive and exciting eras in SCCA road racing history. The artwork captures them exactly where they belong: sliding through a fast corner, door-to-door, with no room for mistakes.


In the 1960s and early ’70s, these cars transformed small-bore sedan racing into something legendary. The Lotus Cortina brought raw aggression and featherweight balance. The Alfa GTA delivered handcrafted Italian speed and Autodelta pedigree. The BMW TiSA proved precision engineering could go toe-to-toe with anyone on the grid.

The design itself feels pulled straight from an old paddock handout or race program — simple line art, period colors, and pure vintage racing atmosphere. Even the checkerboard liner hidden inside the cap is a nod to the finish line flags that waved these cars home after countless battles at tracks like Watkins Glen, Lime Rock, Bryar, Riverside, and Laguna Seca.


More than merchandise, this hat is a tribute to the racers, mechanics, and privateers who built the golden age of B-Sedan one weekend at a time — and to the people still keeping that spirit alive today.
