We bring you a unique perspective on racing news. For other types of news, including the more traditional sort, here are a few links. There are various sources for news on racing. We haven't checked out them all out. Of the ones that we have checked out, only a subset have made our recommended list that we rely on consistently to get the latest racing news. The following chart shows the best of each category; they are the ones we go to over and over.
A lot of F1 sites exist. Even just the news sites. Here is the official Formula 1 site put out by the Formula One Administration. Planet F1 is one of the better independent F1 news sites as is Grandprix.com. Of course, F1 wouldn't be complete without a support series, and the top one is GP2 with it's own official site.
Independent
One of the driving forces behind Seventh Gear, Mark Cipolloni, left to form his own web site. In many respects, it's just like the original Seventh Gear. However, Mark has expanded out to other forms of racing including F1 and NASCAR, while at the same time kept up his contacts in open wheel, making his rumors and news pages as good as any. It is now a subscription site.
Television
It's not what it used to be as the SPEED Channel has sold out to the NASCAR masses and dumbed down just about everything on the air. However, they still have some good news content and commentaries.
Web
One of the original racing web sites, motorsport.com is still going strong, and thank goodness for that. Contains up to the minute results as well as news bits, press releases, etc. Also, contains a history and results database area.
Magazine
It's tough to beat Autosport when it comes to racing magazines for complete, in depth, and up to the minute coverage of our sport.
Newspaper
Where else are you going to get the best newspaper racing coverage than the Indianapolis Star/News? Unfortunately, they seemed to have turned their back on the sport that made their city and themselves great, so we no longer give them a high recommendation. But, they still have a decent level of racing coverage if you still want to check them out.
Community
What else is more fun than picking on the IRL? Doing it with other Champ Car fanatics. A very strong community of fans has developed from this site, which is now hosted by champcarfanatics.com.
Spanish
With more and more hispanic fans catching racing fever, they need a site of their own, and this one is one of the best.
World Rally Championship
Perhaps the most exciting racing on the planet today. Here is the official WRC site put out by the FIA.
