Guys, I really like this forum's list of engineering books, but what about magazines?

I have been a reader of F1Racing for three years now, but I am slowly getting bored of it.

I am looking for a proper engineering magazine, related to cars/racing, where you can occassionally find an equation or three written out.

So, any suggestions?

Racecar Engineering is substantially more advanced than F1Racing.

There is another really good magazine as well but I can't remember what it is called.

Racecar Engineering and Race Tech

Along with Race Engine Technology.

These magazines tend to get pricey in North America, and some of the articls are somewhat anecdotical in nature (not necessairly real engineering) but still tend to be a good read.

Hi df_fsmb

Like has been suggested multiple times, I recommend Race Tech International and Racecar Engineering.

I wrote a Formula SAE feature for Race Tech (October 2010). If you're looking for hard-nose technical information, you'll appreciate Racecar Engineering -- I used it during my time studying aerodynamics. Race Tech is technical, but there are "softer" stories that many people would read and understand -- more or less.

Personally, I choose RT. But I'm more into stories than pure technical information. Although, each has it's share of cross-writing.

Here are links to both magazines:
Race Tech (http://www.racetechmag.com/)
Racecar Engineering (http://www.racecar-engineering.com/)

See the below link for a wide selection of free and reasonably good automotive industry magazines:

http://www.ukipme.com/mag_index.htm

They are all easily accessible online, or if you can convince the publishers that you are the target audience of the advertisers then they might even send you free hard copies.

I would recommend 'Engine Technology International'
