🏁 About FANABOX™ – The Heart of Formula 1™ Passion in Old Montreal
Where Motorsports Heritage Meets Authentic Style
Founded in 1994, FANABOX™ is a family-owned motorsports boutique offering one of the most exclusive selections of officially licensed Formula 1™ merchandise, racing apparel, and collectible memorabilia in Canada. What began as a lifelong dream has evolved into a flagship destination for F1 fans and racing enthusiasts from around the world.
Step into our authentic motorsports store in historic Old Montreal, and you’ll immediately feel the thrill of the racetrack. Every detail celebrates racing culture — from real Formula 1™ tires with grooves straight from Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve to vintage driving suits, autographed helmets, and rare posters that tell the story of speed, style, and passion.
Our walls are lined with official Formula 1™ team gear, vintage diecast models, exclusive driver collections, and signed memorabilia from legends of motorsport. Every product carries the DNA of racing — hand-picked to bring fans closer to the adrenaline of the world’s fastest sport.
A 30-Year Family Legacy in Motorsports
At the heart of FANABOX™ are siblings Annie and Max, two passionate entrepreneurs who turned their family’s 30-year business tradition into a global hub for motorsports enthusiasts. Their devotion to racing runs deep — from the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal to circuits across Europe, the United States, and Mexico, they’ve spent decades curating rare finds and building connections with F1™ teams and drivers.
Max, a psychology graduate with a marketing background, combines his business expertise with a lifelong obsession for racing. Since 2001, he’s been a key distributor of Scuderia Ferrari™, Jacques Villeneuve, and other official F1™ collections — and today, he continues to expand the brand as the exclusive distributor of rare motorsports apparel and luxury car merchandise in North America.
Annie, a graduate in Interior Design and fashion visionary who now resides overseas, has an intuitive eye for trends. She designs and curates exclusive motorsport clothing collections that blend performance, heritage, and streetwear chic — shaping the evolution of racing fashion in Montreal and beyond.
Together, Annie and Max carry forward the passion of their late father — a devoted racing fan — whose legacy fuels every decision behind FANABOX™. Their mother, Fortune, continues to welcome fans with warmth and pride at the St-Paul Street store, keeping the family spirit alive at the very core of Old Montreal.
