OUR FAVOURITE LINKS

What you need to have bookmarked, what you might want to bookmark and what will most certainly get you through a bad day in the office!

Our Fave Motorsport News Sites:

Adrivo: German site with up to date coverage of most types of motorsport. More interesting (if you read German) are the various Magazin sections with blogs from drivers, riders, photographers and presenters. Also has a good picture section.

Autosport: Provides the RSS Feed to your right and is known for the excellent, very up-to-date and reliable news coverage. Usually the first with the big F1 scoops. Access to current news is free, the archive, online magazine, photos and FORIX database require a membership fee of €42.

Crash: Covers just about every type of motorsport out there. Usually no breaking news but can always be counted on to have the latest pictures. Membership is free.

GrandPrix: Excellent F1 only news site with much background information and editorial articles.

The Official F1 website: Since its much needed restyling last year offers plenty of exclusive driver interviews and occasionally has breaking news. Most importantly it offers free Live Timing for all free practices, qualifying (when you really need it) and race.

The Official MotoGP website: The revamped site looks promising but is hell to navigate! It still offers a variety of paid online video packages, including live streaming of all races. Also has free live timing for all free practices, qualifying and races in all three classes. The live timing format has remained awkward though.

Good for a weekly visit:

Clinica Mobile: MotoGP's dr Costa's website is the best way to stay updated on MotoGP and WSBK injuries and pick up some nice rider porn along the way ;)

Planet-F1: An occasional read in their Features section is a nice way to waste a few hours. The Off on F1 section is usually hilarious. It is shame the Schumi diaries were removed after he retired from racing though.

Racing-live: Covers F1, MotoGP, WRC and Edurance. Doesn't have breaking news but does have good image galleries and free F1 and MotoGP live timing in a nice-looking format. Hi-res images and video footage are only accesible to subscribers.

Superbikeplanet: US based site that covers MotoGP, WSBK and the US AMA series. Much of the MotoGP and WSBK news is press-releases (but those will always contain the full text). Why they deserve a bookmark is because a. they have occasional rider interviews, b. a good image section and c. three to four columns per race weekend by MotoGP commentator Jules Ryder which usually have loads of paddock gossip.

Bound to get you through a bad day in the office

MotoGPNews: Taking the mickey out of MotoGP and since 2008 also WSBK and AMA unlike anything else out there, Jules Ryder once described this site and its attached forum as scurrilous. Most fitting and totally worth the small subscription fee. If anything just for the hilarious MotoGP quote section!

Red Bulletin: The Red Bulletin is the free 'almost independent' F1 newspaper, printed four times during an F1 race weekend and offers the latest news, results, gossip and driver/staff interviews, usually all very tongue in cheeck. Owned by Red Bull it is handed out for free at the track and since mid-2006 it is also available online. The revamped website now has all issues availabe as PDFs.
