PayPal began life as security software to be marketed to banks, and has continued pushing the limits of encryption and customer safety on the web. Using PayPal, Retro Racegear customers can pay on-line with credit card, e-check, or PayPal transfers, and they can choose multiple shipping methods to meet their needs.The first featured product on the web site is the recreated "burn rubber" Tyrrell T, made famous after the 1973 World Championship Tyrrell Team stormed Formula One racing. Ken Tyrrell, Jackie Stewart and Francois Cevert trounced reigning champion and McLaren driver Emmerson Fittipaldi with a number of one-two finishes in the blindingly quick Tyrrell 005 and 006 machines. The 1971 World Championship, an even more dominant season for Tyrrell with the 002, 003, and 004 machines, was never celebrated with such a shirt. Retro Racegear has chosen to pay homage to the World Constructor's Champions of 1971, Team Tyrrell, with a shirt depicting the 1971 car, Tyrrell 003.This t-shirt is further enhanced by it's being packaged in a compressed form making the silhouette of the Tyrrell race cars. It is believed that this t-shirt will make a great novelty item, Tyrrell racing fans wanting to buy one for their shelf and one for their back. The t-shirt is 100% cotton, and it is featured alongside other Tyrrell items like polo shirts, hats, patches and decals. Retro Racegear customers can visit the Retro Racegear Online Shoppe, www.RetroRacegear.com/shoppe, or visit the Retro Racegear people at the many historic races they will be attending.Retro Racegear, LLC, is a privately held, family company, dedicated to reliving the glory days of motorsport through authentic, fine quality merchandise. The company was formed when the Tyrrell family, owners of the licensing rights to Tyrrell Racing Organization trusted the Retro Racegear founders to recreate merchandise for the championship-winning Tyrrell Racing Organization.Retro news
