Ayrton Senna / McLaren MP4/6
Race-Used Front Tire Table, 1991 Australian Grand Prix

An extraordinary and museum-grade motorsport artifact transformed into a functional sculptural object, this table is crafted from an original front tire used on Ayrton Senna’s McLaren MP4/6 during the 1991 Australian Grand Prix, the very season in which Senna secured his third Formula One World Championship.

The tire—bearing authentic race wear consistent with Grand Prix use—has been meticulously preserved and elevated through bespoke craftsmanship. It is mounted on a polished chrome pedestal base, giving the piece a commanding yet refined presence, while a custom circular clear acrylic tabletop floats seamlessly above the tire. The tabletop is precision-engraved with:

• “Ayrton Senna – McLaren MP4/6”

• “Driven to Perfection”

• “GP 1991”

• A stylized circuit outline

• Senna’s iconic “S” insignia

The result is a striking fusion of engineering, history, and contemporary design, transforming a race-used component into a conversation-defining collectible suitable for a private collection, gallery, or luxury interior.

Most notably, the tire is hand-signed and dated in white marker by Ayrton Senna himself, a detail of exceptional importance. Authentic Senna autographs—particularly those applied directly to race-used McLaren components—are exceedingly rare, made all the more so by his untimely death in 1994. The signature remains clearly visible on the tire sidewall and exhibits strong period-correct characteristics.

The piece is accompanied by an official McLaren Certificate of Authenticity, confirming the tire’s use and provenance, further reinforcing its legitimacy and desirability at the highest level of the collectors’ market.

Rarity & Collectibility

Race-used tires from Senna’s championship-winning MP4/6 are scarce in their own right; examples that are signed, dated, documented, and professionally re-purposed are virtually unheard of. This object occupies a rare intersection between Formula One history, fine memorabilia, and functional design, appealing equally to elite motorsport collectors and discerning design connoisseurs.

Craftsmanship

The conversion from race artifact to table has been executed with restraint and respect for the original material. No elements distract from the tire’s authenticity; instead, the transparent tabletop and minimalist stand allow the provenance, signature, and patina of use to remain the focal point. The craftsmanship enhances rather than alters—preserving the soul of the object while granting it new life.

An exceptional tribute to Ayrton Senna’s legacy—where speed, precision, and mastery are permanently frozen in form.
