Track and Race Cars or Track Driver. You won't go wrong with either of those

I would say Circuit Driver ......... but that would open another can of worms !
i don't think there is a magazine aimed at "track Day users" there are plenty for race drivers/teams
in which you may get some general set up tips etc and gain some useful knowledge.

Most so called Car magazines would not cover too much track day information as it would isolate there readership
or not fit well with there advertisers.
For example if you bought a Car magazine that had a dps advert for Ice,and blingy chrome rims i am sure that the advertiser would not like the idea of to many features about weight saving and track cars. After all it is the advertisers that pay for the Magazine.
I hope that the new title " performance car Magazine " will cover some issues of track days as in it's day many years ago it was always on the ball.beer
the first issue looks like a good title to watch.

I'm sure a "market" exists for somebody else to launch a track biased publication. Given all the interest in CD, I'm sure it would sell..

I agree a new mag for the track day user looks to be needed.
