In addition to ordering merchandise online, there is also a good chance that you could find the same or similar products at live Formula D events. During these events, vendors tend to setup display booths. The type of merchandise available for sale will all depend on where you are, but you should have a wide variety of different products to choose from. These products are likely to include Formula D apparel, as well as movies, books, and other media items.
