TrackDriver Editions app for iPhone and iPad
TrackDriver magazine is a bi-monthly publication for trackday and racing enthusiasts, packed with track tests, technical features and practical advice, by the best writers and driver coaches we could find - Simon McBeath, Mark Hales and Dave Walker are regarded as the best technical journalists in the UK. And you will find them together only in TrackDriver magazine where every track driver turns.
We hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoy putting it together.
The app version provides click-through links to useful web pages, zoom for easier reading and photo zoom-in, thumbnail view and a click-through table of content. The new Issue Browser allows you to choose between included Issues.
Future upgrades are planned to include Issue downloads and Back-Copy Purchase. In time, we plan to provide video footage, 3D models and other useful enhancements.
