The problem is that anyone 'racing' usually wants to concentrate 100% on just that without the distraction of taking pics, tech charts and the like.
We at RRCi have a wide cross section of 'Contributors' from all walks of life and who are racing, bashing even aghh 'crawling' every weekend. Theres nothing set in stone, reports are submitted by anyone who wants to do so and is at that event. I haven't the budget or team to cover every event, I wish I did. Reports are submited by those individuals that take time out to inform the readership about an event, and I respect them all for that.
For example, we have a 6 page Worlds Drift report in the next issue, it's the first ever Worlds and a brit won! The report was submitted the day after the event finished and my hat goes off to J.Turner for doing so, it's not easy to do, and even harder to make it read fluidly and be interesting, funny and informative.
As ever, if you feel anything needs coverage, and it fits in with copy and print dates, then I'm all ears!!
