Longer term readers may already be familiar with Racing & Emotion, designers and developers of the awesome ‘Egg Cup’ chairs, previous design for which have included Gulf Racing and Ayrton Senna, James Hunt, Porsche Mission 2014 and even crankandpiston.com (for those of you who aren’t, have a quick read-through and catch us up).
