Times are undoubtedly tough for all as the economy still does not want to release it’s grip on everyone’s wallet for extra cash. Sponsorship dollars remain at a premium for even the best connected teams and almost non existent for the hard pressed, and little known alike.  Things are no different for the so called brave that try to launch a new print publication in a tight fisted world of the seemingly dying print media world. At RWM, we have surely had more than our fair share of struggles, but seeing a desire for a truly different type of print media about all types of racing from a different slant leads us to believe we are on the right course.

The most important thing is to thank all that have helped so far along the way, and to pre-thank all that want to, and will help going forward. Our website is being totally reconstructed and hopefully that process will not delay much longer, as it at least on the drawing board, looks fantastic and should facilitate ease of navigation in the future. RWM is being restructured from top to bottom, inside and out and we are working diligently on a partnership with long term goals in mind that we are sure will silence the “nay sayers” and reassure the doubters going forward.

Moving forward the resolve at RWM remains the same, to provide a different and educational slant in the racing community for young and old experienced and not, grassroots and top level professional as well. Our passions remain steadfast fans first, media second, and we will continuously promote and grow all types and levels of racing with your help via input always something highly regarded. Stay tuned, updates here and on Facebook(3 sites), Twitter, and multiple racing forums will be posted much more frequently in the future, times may have seemed tough, but what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger.

RallyCar race #3 November 6-7 @ NJMP in So.Jersey has attracted more European stars to the mix. After only two events, the best rallycross drivers in the world have found it necessary to be in the States for the third and final round of the 2010 U.S.RallyCross Championships. Probably the only other race in the USA that have a similar mix of diversified drivers would be the Rolex 24 held in Daytona, Florida, USA.

Brit Liam Doran will face X-Games, Rally-America, Formula Drift, and other stars as well as the newest entries from Europe. None other than the likes of 2009& 2010 ERC Champion Sverre Isaachsen of Norwat in his blazingly fast Ford Focus ST T16 4×4 which he used in this years FIA championship. Liam Doran will of course be piloting his Cintreon C4 sporting different gears that will greatly  enhance his straightaway speed to 160 mph +. Also joining the fray will be Frode Holte of Norway bringing his highly developed VolvoC30 T16 4×4. Holte was seventh in the ERC this year.

Joining Isaacshen and Holte is Per Eklund of Sweden in a Saab 9 3 ASS T16 4×4. Amazingly Eklund was ranked 22nd in the 2010 ERC after running less than HALF of of the events! American Tanner Foust that has done battle with theses guys in the ERC with some success has them seeking to get a little revenge on his home turf. Let’s not forget Kiwi Rhys Millen in his in his badass Hyundai Accent Mk2/LC.

The gloves are off, the drivers and race promoters have been in constant and extensive brainstorming sessions to make this the newest and most fan friendly, high intensity deal to hit the racing scene in a long time. Trust me when I say, this is going to be HUGE if not, why would ESPN have sucked up the rights to broadcast  this new face of motorsports? Go to NJMP.com for tickets and information, it is only $20 per carload, yes, carload to get in so how can you not want to check it out?

Racing World Magazine/Media will be in the house shooting photos and video, so if you have a favorite and want a photo, be in touch, we’ll hook you up.

The second race @ NJMP in Millville, NJ is continually growing its line up. Last minute entrants include Rhys Millen. The  California based stunt driver, formerly a factory backed US rally competitor, is a regular at the Pike’s Peak Int’l Hill Climb, a 2005 Formula DRIFT Champ, movie stunt driver ( Fast and Furious 3: Tokyo Drift .)

Rhys will debut in a 2002 Hyundai WRC car, with his experience he seems to be an instant threat.

That’s not all, top European Rallycross Championship driver Liam Doran is travelling from London, UK bringing his Cintreon C4 rallycross car he uses in European competion.

AND……. Finland’s Jussi Pinomakki a seasoned ERC competitor will compete in an Oslberg MSE Ford Fiesta. Did I mention these 2 litre screamers make 650 hp?

After a few fast and furious weeks of high level, high speed karting that was infused with International racers, it is time to stoke up for the return of Rally, X-Games, Pro Formula Drifts mega stars and more at New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville,NJ. With race 1 under the belt, teams have a better understanding of what it will take to tame the beast of this Euro style racing. Most have vowed to bring more horsepower and suspension package changes to the game.

Many of the competitors have expressed high levels of anticipation about race 2 of 3. Tanner Faust will have to look over his shoulder much harder to keep Lagerman, Pastrana, and the like in his rearview mirror. A technical error caused Travis Pastrana the win in Race 1, so it is safe to say he’ll be hunger in Race 2.

This is an excellent way to get up close and personal with drivers, cars and crews, as paddock access is open to all spectators! If you want to race your piece in the upcoming event, just contact the track @ www.njmp.com and they will hook you up with the required registration information. If you just want to watch, use the same site to purchase two-fer tickets ahead of time along with great camping as well. See you trackside!

October 2-4 sees Rally Car return to NJMP’s Lightning Course for round 2 of 3 RallyCross series. X-Games, Formula Drift, Rally Stars, and more all competing door to door asphalt to dirt and back. The inaugural race presented fans with beating and banging, pushing and shoving excitement in each of then sprint races all to the delight of not only the fans, but even more so to the competitors. Tanner Faust, Travis Pastrana, Wyatt Knox, Chris Duplessis, “Here’s Johnny” Tancredi and others not only put on a great show, but speaking to them afterward, they were Major League Stoked!!!!!

They are all excited and promised to be much more ready now that they know what to expect, because you see, this form of Rallying had never been done in the United States before. If the taunts and promises are only HALF of what was tossed out there, this should be one whale of a show.

Go to NJMP.com for the buy one-get-one offer, the code should be RC or just ask for the twofer. Camping is available offering some awesome viewing of the action. I’m taking my rig for sure this time. The fans are great, crowds suprisingly large for a first time event, and better than that, you have full access to the drivers and crews. Stop by and meet the superstars and the up and coming sleepers that steal the show. Why not bring your car and race too, contact Rally-America or NJMP for rules and requirements. I think the entry fee is only $100 pre race, so come on club racers and everyone else join the race or just join the fun!

See YOU trackside.

  Notoriously intense and yet skillfully smooth pro driver/instructor has invited everyone to partake of a very special opportunity to shoot for the next level in your personal quest at honing your driving skills. Why not seize the opportunity to be coached by reknown drivers in the best environment one could ask for!

   The following link will guide you to a memorable experience, great fun, and some pampering too, enjoy.
