In a remarkable collaboration, VELO has joined forces with the famous McLaren Formula 1 Team to launch the enticing "Live Your Fandom" campaign. This initiative redefines what it means to be a superfan by offering an exclusive behind-the-scenes experience at the prestigious McLaren Technology Centre.

Behind the Scenes Access
The selected superfans were not just observers—they were part of a unique experience. They got to visit the McLaren Technology Centre, where they were treated to an exclusive tour and got a rare glimpse into the world of Formula 1.

Meeting both the CEO and a top driver left fans like Lauren Allen and Shantal Ayala Abdala feeling like true insiders among the McLaren family.
