Model Car Racing (www.modelcarracingmag.com) is a 60-page bimonthly magazine, with most of the pages in full color. The magazine features in-depth photo-illustrated articles that are focused exclusively on realistic scale model car racing on tabletop tracks in your home. The first issue was January/February 2002 and every issue has been on sale by the 15th of every even month. The only advertising that appears in the magazine is for new products, so the proportion of pages of editorial material is usually much greater than in most hobby magazines--we always try to give you "more magazine" with Model Car Racing.


The cars you see on the pages of Model Car Racing magazine are as realistic as die-cast cars, but these cars you can actually race! Knowing that, why would you want to buy a model car that did not run?

Model Car Racing magazine´s purpose is to promote: "Ready-To-Run Cars You Can Race At Home," but those terms need some clarifying. There are several other forms of electric model car racing, including radio-controlled racing, racing battery-powered cars in trough-shaped "lanes" or tracks, and racing 1/24 scale slot cars on commercial tracks--you'll find nothing about those hobbies in these pages.

The cars and tracks you'll see in Model Car Racing may look like the slot car hobby you participated in or heard about from the sixties and seventies, but there are some significant differences between that hobby and this one of racing realistic model cars. This magazine is the direct result of the "arrival" of this new hobby. Since the "new" hobby is a development of the old (and since the "old" is still an active hobby), I'd like to give you a bit of history and a description of what you will and will not find in the pages of Model Car Racing.

Real Racing Cars With A History
These miniatures are far more than the sum of their parts, each one is a piece of history you can see in action. Today, a full-size car is worth as much as triple the price if the car has a racing history, a provenance. Each of the models on these pages has that racing history and we turn back the clock with pictures and words to reveal the provenance of that model. And there’s more; each car is not just a statue or a museum piece, it really is a racing car that you can race. When you race it, you add your provenance---you have brought that car back to life!
