This has the potential to be really rather good, founded by the (brilliant) Monkey (Chris Harris, ex-Autocar) and Richard Meaden (Co-founder EVO magazine).

Drivers Republic said:What's different?
We believe that it is driving that unites us, whether thats in sports cars or family cars, new or older models, elite brands or the more accessible. In the years to come we may be driving electric or hybrid models, but we believe that manufacturers will still be creating models that appeal strongly to the driver.
We believe that you know more than we do about running cars so we would like you to share your knowledge with us and the wider community, building an invaluable knowledge base that makes choosing and driving cars more enjoyable.
We understand that forums, clubs and existing communities thrive on discussion and debate. We will provide you with the insights, videos and fresh new features to enliven these debates.
We believe that many readers would like to have more say in the magazines they read than merely a mention in the letters page. We will provide a means for you to shape and influence the features we run, become involved in its creation and provide an opportunity for you to publish yourselves.
We believe that the drivers voice should be heard, listened to by manufacturers and automotive brands. We will provide a means for you to interact with these companies, be consulted on new developments and be valued.
Ultimately we wish to earn your trust, and we intend to do so by breaking down the boundaries between the conventional editorial team and our readership. To achieve this, we will need to get to know you better, learn about your aspirations and what you would like to hear more about.
So we are placing the success of Drivers Republic in your hands. The more you become involved with us, the better we can shape the experience.
