ABOUT raadius

enjoy every mile
 

Raadius is all about the absolute joy of driving, and the ways we driving mortals can experience this liberating, visceral thrill even more. You probably know the feeling well: the furious crescendo of a redlining engine; a perfectly-performed downshift; sensing - feeling - the contact patches go squidgy as you approach the limit. Or just seeing the greenery waft past, as you cruise along some country road you thought you'd try.

This site is relevant to everyone who loves to drive. It's for the person with the 80bhp Fiesta, as much as it is for the petrolheads who love to hoon about in their expensive toys. Novices will find this site as valuable as someone with twenty years of experience. You'll find information on driving techniques and how a car handles; news and links for the most popular motorsport events and series; where to find great roads; a forum in which to share opinions and knowledge, and even reviews of games and gear (which you'll also be able to buy).

Raadius is also an extensive, ever-expanding collection of well-organised links to quality sites. Our goal is to help you find the most comprehensive car reviews, your next track day, or perhaps the best place to serve your latest aftermarket needs. Because we rely on your experiences and knowledge to ensure a diverse and complete range of links, your contributions to this section are not only welcome, they're essential.

So this site is here as a resource, and hopefully, as a place to share stories, information and ideas. But Raadius is not only about spirited driving. To us, the best drivers aren't only the ones with a huge amount of car control skill, but the ones who are considerate and aware. So in addition to all the car control techniques and technical knowledge we hope to provide, we're also going to include a section on driving habits and techniques that can make you a more complete driver. With our roads becoming increasingly congested, safe, efficient and stress-free motoring is more important now than it has ever been.

As we build this site over the next few months, we'll be looking to provide the highest-quality content and design that we possibly can. Our goal is to make your visits truly worthwhile, so you'll keep coming back to gain - and share - more knowledge. Our small team are only enthusiasts and volunteers, so we need your support and feedback, however you can give it, to make this the best driving enthusiast's site on the web. If you're an expert on a topic featured in this site, or you know someone who might like to contribute words, pictures, advice or links, we welcome it all.

On behalf of the Raadius team, thanks for visiting our site, and enjoy every mile.
