Default New Mag for track goers

I picked up a copy of High-Performance Driving the other day. Very informational. I believe its the first one. It has an orange GT3 Porsche on the cover. Definately a good read for new track goers. Its the first mag I have ever read from cover to cover.

Not all places carry the same thing, but it sound like it's worth a try.

I think I got it at a 7-11. I was on vacation in Orlando and staying at my inlaws. So I needed some entertainment.

Seems targeted more towards novices than experienced drivers -- most of the latter know what an apex is without watching a DVD.

It starts out with beginer techniques but goes into more advanced driving later in the mag. I learned a few things and I've been on the track quite a bit. It kijnd of refreshes the more experienced people I think.

That, and it was just one issue... hopefully it will continue, presumably with articles geared towards all levels.

It's the closest thing we've seen so far thats similar to what they have over in Europe:

The orange GT3RS belongs to my friend John. I believe it was at a hookedondriving event. I got a chance to ride with him in that car a couple months ago at Thunderhill Raceway. My Z felt like a slug afterwards :-(

I heard that the magazine will be a single publication only.
