What is Xlerate?
Well to put it simply, we are a not-for-profit free-to-view online magazine, we like to call it a WEB-ZINE, which is operated by a small group of like-minded Motorsport enthusiasts who all share our passion and interest in Motorsport.
Let’s be honest, none of us here at Xlerate are professionals, far from it. We don’t have an Xlerate office full of staff writers, graphic designers, photographers or journalists on our books… we all have day jobs and the team all kindly give up their own time and contribute to Xlerate out of their love and interest in Motorsport.
You will notice that the website is free of any adverts and requires no subscriptions to view; we would like to keep it this way, as annoying pop-ups and adverts can distract the viewer from our content.
What is the nature of the subjects & contents?
In brief, our core area of interest is British National Rallying, and we pride ourselves in our dedication to spotlighting national rallying on our platform.
Where did Xlerate come from?
Xlerate was born in 2003 from the joining of two other separate independent websites that were run by Andy & Brian the founders and owners of Xlerate. In the first few years, a small group of like-minded friends, who all had the same interest and enjoyed going out week in week out to various events around UK, all helped in contributing to the website in some way. But in 2006 Xlerate started to shift its focus towards Motorsport.
Why the name Xlerate?
At the time of its creation, Xlerate was in the phase of the modified car scene, Xlerate was chosen for a name because we wanted to be a little bit different from all the other online car clubs, and modified or performance car-related websites. In effect we didn’t want to limit ourselves by the name, we wanted to be future-proof with room to grow and evolve.
