The streetwear giants have teamed up with the biggest racing league in the world.

Quite frankly, Bape is one of the biggest streetwear brands in the world. Hailing from Japan, Bape is right up there with Supreme when it comes to notoriety and recognizable designs. Bape is mostly known for its Gorilla logo as well as its infamous "Bape Camo" which features the gorilla infused into the pattern. Over the years, the brand has made some truly iconic pieces that will stand the test of time. The brand is also big into collaborations and this year, the brand decided to collaborate with racing league Formula One.

According to Hypebeast, the partnership is to help celebrate 25 years of Bape, as well as F1's 1000th race, which will go down this Sunday, April 14th in Shanghai at the China Grand Prix. The brand has already shown off some pretty interesting pieces including a race car helmet, and a logo-heavy jacket. Now, both Bape and Formula One have shown off a pink camo covered race car. The car will be on display during Chinese Gran Prix weekend festivities.

Unfortunately, you won't be seeing this car in the race but it's a sight to behold regardless. Who knows, maybe this collab could lead to some more F1 streetwear partnerships in the future.
