50 years with Stand 21 Introducing, the Stand 21 history by founder Yves Morizot
Fifty years ago in Dijon, Yves Morizot attended a Formula 3 race contested by his friend Jean-Pierre Cassegrain. Without warning, Jean-Pierre’s Brabham car swerved, flipped over and caught fire.
Yves’ friend is now caught in the ensuing inferno. Yves and others rush to save him. Following this traumatic event, his life as a young baker takes a new turn. "We can no longer let racing drivers suffer, and too often, perish on the track without taking preventive action".
Yves Morizot then creates Stand 21, a distributorship of motorcycles and car-racing accessories, and invests resources generated by this new activity in improvements in drivers’ safety, producing advanced racing suits, gloves, boots, helmets, Frontal Head Restraints devices, balaclavas...
Since 1970, the most important motor racing safety innovations have been invented or have been improved by Stand 21. The company now operates on three continents and has forever since, equipped the greatest drivers, establishing a reputation for quality, innovation and safety akin to that of Rolex in the watchmaking industry.
Therefore, now after these fifty years, through this new brilliant book produced in a limited edition of one thousand numbered copies wrapped in a high-quality gold-leaf embossed hard cover, for his family, for his friends and for all the drivers who have entrusted their safety to Stand 21 for half a century, Yves Morizot humbly realizes that this racing safety dedication would never have borne fruit without his creation of Stand 21.
A unique, profusely illustrated book displaying his accomplishments as well as his failures, all the adventures, all the people instrumental in this amazing Burgundian saga, today a shining beacon throughout the world. As his daughter Julie, who created the Stand 21 subsidiary in Great Britain in her day, says: “Our father is like a Land Rover to everyone: even when we haven't called on him for a long time, he is always on the ready for us".
A book on which Yves Morizot worked for one year, with the collaboration of Cape Editions, and of which only a limited number of autographed copies are now available, reserved for customers and friends of the brand.
