Drag Racing Confidential - The true meaning of high-speed internet

Santa Pod Raceway may be the real home of European drag racing, but it appears that there may be a new virtual home for the fastest motorsport on Earth. Drag Racing Confidential (drceurope.co.uk) is the online magazine for all fans of the quarter mile – whether you’re an ardent drag fanatic, or simply just enjoy quality race car features. The magazine was launched independently last year but has now officially joined forces with The ‘Pod to become the venue’s ‘in-house’ online magazine.

The magazine-style format is fast becoming popular with PC, tablet and smart phone users, and DRC offers a wide range of content from interviews and show reports through to nostalgia features, driver profiles and up-and-coming stars. In fact, whatever your preference, if you have even an ounce of nitro-methane in your veins, you’ll doubtless find it a very enjoyable way to while away an hour or two.

With photography from some of the industry’s finest photographers and unparalleled access to Santa Pod, DRC has an awful lot to say over its 60 odd pages each month. Helpful technical features also make a regular appearance, advising on everything from car set-up to driving technique. Editors Simon Hodder and Nigel Holland have vast experience of the sport, yet keep the style general enough to engage the more casual fan, too.

Although much of the feature material will centre around the World-famous Northamptonshire track, DRC will be keeping their impartial editorial slant, covering the action at all other European venues, ensuring a real mix of cars and content.

Speaking for Santa Pod, Marketing Manager Caroline Day said, ‘We have been contemplating producing our own online magazine resource for several years now, but when we saw the quality of the job that DRC had done and their clear knowledge and enthusiasm, it was a ‘no-brainer’ for us to join forces. For both of us, it’s the ideal way to promote the sport that we love and get the news out to the fans in a quick and easy to read format.’

So after hearing all this great news, you’re probably wondering what the catch is? Well, quite simply, there isn’t one. DRC is totally free to download and enjoy, meaning you can save your money for the races themselves. So now you really don’t have an excuse to really get involved in the season at Santa Pod next year.
