Christmas Gifts For Motorsport Fans That Don't Suck

December is here, which means the holiday season is right around the corner — or, in other words, it's time to start panicking about all the gifts you haven't bought. It can be especially difficult to shop for a motorsport fan; so many of the gift guides and listicles suggest the same ol' boring shit, and we know you actually want to knock someone's socks off this year.

The great news for you fine readers of Jalopnik is that we've got you covered. We've picked out 15 of the coolest motorsport-related gifts we could find online and collected them here for you. You can thank us when you find out you gave the best gift of 2023.
