I like Race Tech Engineering better. As childish as this sounds, there are better pictures. I find it a little easier to read, although admittedly I haven't read both in about a year.

Thanks, now I realised my mistake! Which one focuses more on F1 as my friend isnt really intrested in the rest.

That really depends. I used to buy Racecar Engineering every month just to keep up w/ whatever's happening in motorsport. I picked up Race Tech Magazine whenever there was something really good on, as it is harder to find around here.

However, if you look at Race Tech's website, you'll see they have a lot of other publications that may suit your interests. For example, their engine magazine looks really good, and now they have an aerodynamicists' publication.

I can't really help you as to which one is better as I stopped reading both. But in my experience I would probably subscribe to Race Tech.

What about that magazine Bernoulli, its seems pretty new. Somebody got more information about it or better bought it? It seems that only the first issue is for sale, or am I wrong?

I have subscriptions to Bernoullis, RaceTech, and Racecar E. I like them all but personnally I like Bernoullis the best because of the emphasis on Aero which is what I am learning in college.
