Overdrive : Re-Launching in January 2014

It's been a bit quiet around here lately - too quiet. That could be a line from a film.

Things have not been idle in Overdrive towers however. We've been hard at work with a documentary on the amazing and inspiring Kartforce and throwing all our efforts into next year. We've already started to refresh our social media outputs with Twitter, Facebook and now Google+ pages, and our videos are coming out on our Youtube channel

Coming in January 2014
    Chris with the Caterham 7 160
  • Coverage from the Autosport International Show - this year with more action from the Live Action Arena and Autosolo
  • Gearbox - Our look at Road Cars starting with the road car highlights from Autosport and a road test in the new Caterham 7 160 (which our presenter Chris loved!)
  • Our first event - We're going Ice Karting! Watch this space for how to get involved in a very different karting experience
  • A fresh new look - Still red and black, but the website will be getting a brand new look in January
Further ahead, we've got more news with our bi-weekly news bulletins which will be kicking off with the racing season in March and presented by Holly Rust. They'll include news and results from club and national motorsports, looking beyond the circuits and onto the rally stages, Autotests and all manner of clubman motorsports. There will also be more from Gearbox and we're working on 2014's features.

Until January then, we'll leave you with some highlights of the 2013 Autosport International Show.
