The Mobil1 Corvette Racing Champions award is a 27 piece addition to the Mobile1 Oil Drop Award Series done annually. Each of the awards, as shown above, includes oil from the Mobil1 Corvette race car that raced at Rolex 24 Daytona, 24 Hours of Le Mans, Mobil1 Sportscar Grand Prix and the 6 Hours of Shanghai raceways encased in hand blown glass drops.
This is a unique award I had the pleasure to design utilizing many layers of customization. Mobil1 has always been an enjoyable client as they have a lot of information that needs included in a small foot print. The goal was to make the piece not only look good from all angles but also to make it a conversational piece to promote the Mobil1 Corvette racing team.
The top has a hand sculpted 2018 Corvette C7.R based off of my original renderings for the car in motion. Accents such as: head lights, emblems, side vents and Mobil1 logos are sand etched into the surface. There is also an oil drop located in the engine bay of the car and the Corvette Racing Champions logo embedded inside the driver’s side door.
The top of the base is laser etched with a finish line and screen printed with the raceway logos. The center has individual oil drops made from oil from corvettes used at the corresponding raceways. The bottom has each raceway screen printed in white and sandwiched between a black and clear layer of cast lucite for contrast. Followed by a limited edition badge on the back.
