There is simply no other hand tool company in the world that can claim an international racing heritage as strong as Beta Utensili. The company, from its home next door to the world famous racing circuit of Monza, has been directly involved in motor sports since the early ‘70s.

Originally made famous in 1974 by the bright orange cars of the Beta-March Grand Prix team and driver Vittorio Brambilla, the company has found that the high-pressure environment of racing is perfect for developing technically superior products.

Along way the way Beta began to diversify it’s efforts into other forms of racing including: Endurance Road Racing, Rallying, Motorcycle Road Racing, Motocross, SuperMotard, Karting, F1 boat, and even America’s Cup sailing teams. As a result, Beta equipped teams have garnished 36 World Championships in various forms of racing.

Some of the World Championships have been the result of collaborations with such famous F1 teams as, Ferrari, McLaren, Williams, and Brabham. As a matter of fact, over 100 F1 drivers, including world champions: Niki Lauda, Mario Andretti, Jody Scheckter, Keke Rosberg, Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna, Nigel Mansell, Damon Hill, and Michael Schumacher have trusted their cars to mechanics using Beta. Involvement in Motorcycle racing has contributed even more to the list with World Championships in almost every category and a list of riders that includes, among others, Barry Sheen, Kenny Roberts Sr., Kevin Schwantz, Kenny Roberts Jr., and Valentino Rossi.
