The passion behind BBS Graphix began straight from school. Starting out as a mechanic and quickly finding his way into motorsports, David Kemplay - founder of BBS, was soon working as a race mechanic on Formula 1 - BRM, Jaguar MK II 3.8, and Le Mans E Type racing cars. Due to his persistence and fastidious drive for perfection in quality of workmanship - David secured himself a position with the crew at the Monte Carlo Rally. In the following years, he embraced Rallying to its full by working with the likes of Ford, at the British Rally Championship. To this day, David is still firmly planted in racing as a Team Manager for one of Renault Clio's winning teams (TOCA).

The concept for BBS Graphix began in the mid 1980's when David identified a distinct need for a more professional approach to motorsports graphics. Rather than the historical method of simply adding pre-made, mass produced sponsor logos - as and when, David felt there was something missing. Out of his love for motorsports and a natural artistic ability - the obvious thing for him was to take a step back and create an overall design. Combining graphics, the client requirements, and his own creative flair - BBS culminate a final result a step ahead of the rest. The roots of BBS originated within the motorsports arena, however as their reputation, and client requirements have grown - BBS gradually expanded into a more diverse and corporate environment.
