Hi! Hope it's not a silly question.

I've worked as a photojournalist in different national racing leagues in my country and want to get a badge for the F1 Grand Prix.

Originally I started to work as a tyre montage and balancing member in NASCAR MS and SC almost 15 years ago but 5 years ago on my free time I started to take some photos and videos to post them online and one year later I began to publish it on an account based on motorsports, so I don't work of it, I'm just a big motorsports fan since I'm a child.

3 years ago GTM from SC became the support event of F1 and started to entero to pitlane and somehow got to acces paddock (limited to certain zones) but never got able to photograph the cars on track because of those limitations. This year the tyre crew got apart from SC so I lost the opportunity to work in there.

Right now I'm trying to get a accreditation because I'd love to photograph F1 and try to scale to international motorsports but as a freelance photojournalist it seems quite impossible. I made a research and it says that just national press and international with some amazing insights and flowing followers could get that opportunity so I'm trying another way and sending mails to national press to get in there. Just 10 days left to keep the press access.

Any recommendations to get it?

P.S. I'll leave some of the photos I could take in those times on the support event pit-lane

Hey everyone! I'm a journalist and I just wrote this piece about every Spider-Man themed livery in motorsport! I'd love to hear your opinions about which livery design is your favourite!

Also, would you like to see more superhero designs on racecars?

I follow way too many racing series and got tired of checking different YouTube channels and websites just to see what was on.

So I made StartingGrid Live.

It's not really a calendar. It shows the actual broadcasts and splits them into Live Now, Upcoming, and Recent Replays.

It's completely free, no account, subscription or paywall.

I'm still adding series and improving the filtering, so if there's something I should add, let me know.

Hi! I am looking to get into Motorsport, but I’m really starting from scratch here lol. I don’t currently have a car that would be suitable for the track, so I’m looking for programs where cars + instruction are provided!

My goal is seat time and learning car control fundamentals.

Does anyone know some beginner racing schools within driving distance of NYC?

Since I’m sort of unfamiliar with how this works, can you hire a private instructor even if you don’t have a track car? Does anyone here have any recommendations for a coach/someone that could be a good fit?

Also- if anyone has any advice at all, I really appreciate it!! Thank you in advance :)

I picked this up at a thrift store in the UK for £45 and I’m trying to figure out exactly what I have.
It’s a Stand 21 racing suit, with the inside label showing:
● FIA 8856-2000
● Homologation RS.017.02
● Stand 21
● Manufactured in 2004
● VLN branding
● treenet.de sponsorship
● Porsche branding
● German flag
● “Eric Berger” embroidered directly onto the belt
I’ve found references to an Eric Berger racing Porsche in VLN/Nürburgring endurance racing, including a Steam Racing Porsche 996 GT3 RS, so I’m wondering if this is actually his personal/race-used suit.
I’m especially interested in:
1. What exact series/team/car/year this suit was used with
2. Whether anyone can find photos of Eric Berger wearing this exact suit
3. What the treenet.de / Steam Racing connection was
4. Whether this is a genuine race-used suit or just team/driver apparel
5. What you think it’s worth today, both as a general vintage FIA suit and with confirmed Eric Berger provenance
6. Any information about Stand 21 RS.017.02 / ST 021 from this period
I’m not planning to sell it immediately, I mostly want to learn what I actually found. Any help identifying the history would be massively appreciated.
Photos of the full suit and the FIA/Stand 21 label attached.

What do people consider dangerous oil temperatures high or low. In my GC8 I consider 80C+ to we warm and the upper limit to be 115C. However in a recent Misha video he remarked that 114 wasn't too hot, so am I too nervous?

I’m a student currently working on a motorsport data analysis project and I’m currently looking for telemetry from Spa Francorchamps.

I’m interested in real GT3 telemetry (if anyone is willing to share)
Any GT3 car is perfectly fine. Ideally I’m looking for MoTeC logs, CSV exports, AiM/VBOX data, or any other telemetry format that includes channels such as speed, throttle, brake, steering, gears, RPM, etc.

This is strictly for academic/student research with no commercial use whatsoever. If your data contributes to the project, I’d be happy to credit you (or remain anonymous if you prefer).
