If you are at all interested in high-performance engines, RACE ENGINE TECHNOLOGY (RET) is a magazine you MUST know about.

RACE ENGINE TECHNOLOGY, published 8 times per year by High Power Media, provides unprecedented access to the great minds in engine design and implementation.

The editors and writers cover the inner details of engine technology across a huge spectrum of the most refined engines in the word, including Formula One, NASCAR Cup, Le Mans (both gasoline and diesel engines), IRL, MotoGP, Sprint Cars and Midgets, Top Fuel, Funny-Cars, World Rally Cars, and more.
The magazine carries in-depth discussions with world-class designers and builders including Ulrich Baretzky, Mario Theissen, Ed Pink, Mario Illien, Nick Hayes, John Force, Ron Shaver, Rob White, Alex Hitzinger, Rick Long, Simon Corbyn, and others.
