Engineering drawings don’t shout. Blueprints shows us how things work - and, if you’re paying attention, why they matter. There’s elegance in that clarity.
Our work is inspired by that ethos: performance, unadorned and honest.
With a background in mechanical design engineering in the UK, we’ve developed technologies at the top level of motorsport, including Formula 1, MotoGP, Formula E, World Endurance, Super Formula Japan, IndyCar, NASCAR, WRC (Hyundai) and marine applications.
Now based in Singapore, we stay close to our love of motorsport by bringing that same spirit of precision, performance, and discipline to the work we do on paper.
We started Racing Blue because we believe that engineering drawings (usually confined to back offices and workshops) deserve their place on your wall. They’re not deliberately ornamental, and that’s the point. They show the truth of a thing: the pure geometry of design, physics and maths.
This is art for those who appreciate performance.
Our name
Our name, Racing Blue, is derived from the interplay between our favourite colour, British racing green, and the cyanotype history of engineering drawings which inspires our blueprint art.
Together, they represent what drives us: a love of motorsport and a respect for the precision that powers it.
Our process
Exhaustive research comes first, before the drafting phase. Then we draft by hand in CAD software, with a focus on precisely capturing the beauty and technical detail of each subject and machine. Each one takes weeks - no tricks, no AI.
The drafting process is then mechanically recreated in archival quality, canvas by canvas, line by line with a pen plotter machine powered by G-code. We use only top quality heavyweight FSC® certified paper made in Germany.
Why not a printer? Because printers copy. Our machines draw.
The deliberate craftsmanship of our process takes much longer, but this method makes each canvas a mechanical echo of the drafting process. Tiny variations in pressure, ink flow, and rhythm make your piece completely individual.
Your artwork is engineered twice, and printed never. The result is art that holds the memory of its making. Plus it’s just fun to watch.
We accept a limited number of commissions quarterly. Contact us here.
