Launched in Summer 2003 and published 8 times a year, Race Engine Technology is the brainchild of Ian Bamsey, the highly respected and award winning motorsport journalist of over 30 years standing. Ian and his team of industry experts produce a unique, high quality, technical source of information that is widely read, referred to, and sought after, by its dedicated readership of design and development engineers, across the entire global powertrain industry. RET remains one of the few magazines in motorsport entirely dedicated to the technology and innovation that drives competition forward. Given the strong urge in the motorsports world to confidentiality and secrecy, there is a genuine danger that technical information will go unrecorded and be lost to future generations. RET, under the guidance of Bamsey, provides that record that would otherwise be lost. ---------------------------------------------- Paid for app downloads include one issue of the user’s choice.
