Advice on best Technology mag for learning and understanding

[dannyteasdale]

Hi all,
Apologies if there is a recent topic like this but I have searched and couldn't find one.
Im not new to F1 but I'm new to the race technology side of things, but I would like to learn about them.
In your opinion(s) which of the technology mag's are the best for education - I know pretty much all of them will be but which is the best for the novices like myself?
My primary interest is F1 followed by GP2, DTM, F3, Le Mans to name a few.
Im not bothered about NASCAR.

Opinions guys/girls?

Any good websites that might be under the radar also?

Thanks a bunch.

I would definitely vote for racecar engineering even when some articles there might be hard to understand for a novice. It gives you many information’s about the used technology and there are no driver-fan boy gossip articles that distract you.

+1 for Racecar Engineering, Race Engine Technology is good but obviously primarily engine info.

Industy publications like these tend work hand in glove with the companies whose products they feature. What you read may look factual & unbiased but it is often not much more than an information rich advert formatted to look like an article. Just look at the correlation between who has more traditional advertisments in the mag and who offeres 'opinion' in the articles. It is all fantastic info nonetheless, you would be hard pressed to find it anywhere else, and it would certainly not be so well correlated, well laid out and easy to digest.

It's also nice to think you are reading the same thing that the people in the teams read, and they definatly do. When you can grasp some of the ideas you feel like you could probably do that job! hehe.
