Torque (magazine)

Torque magazine is a monthly motorsport magazine which is published by The Race Drivers Academy in the United Kingdom.[1] It was first released in September 2008. The magazine's tag line is that it is 'By Drivers, For Drivers'. The magazine is written solely by racing drivers and includes interviews, guest columnists and articles written by other racing drivers. Whilst the main objective initially was to document news and mini biographies of The Race Drivers Academy's drivers, Torque has since attracted some top motorsport celebrities for interviews and its open stance on many issues has seen it become popular amongst hardcore racing fans. Torque prides itself in being open and honest in its views on the motorsport world.
