Most of what we publish starts with someone sending us something: a set of lap notes, a dyno sheet, a photo from a wet rally stage, or a long conversation in a workshop. That trust only works if the rules are clear, so here is exactly what happens to what you send and what we keep.
Lap notes, dyno sheets, build photos and workshop interviews are stored on our editorial drive and kept only as long as the story stays live or you ask us to remove them. We do not sell or hand your files to third parties for marketing.
Contributor names, garage locations and contact details go into print only with your agreement. If a fabricator or gearbox specialist wants to stay off the record, we keep them anonymous and say so in the piece.
Every technical explainer is checked by a working mechanic before it goes out. That review covers torque figures, alignment numbers and safety calls, and it is the reason we sometimes sit on a story for a week longer than planned.
Regional club dates are listed as the organisers supply them. If a round moves or gets cancelled, we correct it as soon as we hear, and you can flag a mistake by email at any time.
Subscription details for the weekly dispatch are held by our mailing provider and used only to send the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from any issue, or write to us and we will delete your record.
Photos from race weekends are credited to the shooter unless we have agreed otherwise in writing. If you appear in a frame and want it pulled, tell us and we will take it down.
You can ask for a copy of what we hold about you, request a correction, or have your details and files deleted. Write to the editorial desk and we will confirm within a reasonable window.
