Editorial Policy

Last Updated: December 2025

At DriveContact and DriveContact STATS, we strive to be the most reliable source of information for the global motorsport community. Our goal is to bridge the gap between complex racing data and engaging storytelling. This Editorial Policy outlines the standards we uphold across all our platforms.

1. Accuracy and Fact-Checking

Accuracy is the cornerstone of our work.

For DriveContact.us (Media): Every news report and analysis undergoes a multi-step verification process. We rely on primary sources, including official press releases from racing series (F1, WEC, NASCAR, etc.), team communications, and on-the-ground reporting.
For DriveContact STATS (Data): Our statistical database is synchronized with official timing feeds. In the event of post-race penalties or technical disqualifications, our database is updated within 24 hours to reflect the official final standings.

2. Editorial Independence

We maintain strict independence from the entities we cover. Our analysis is based on objective data and professional observation. While we may partner with brands or racing series, all sponsored content is clearly labeled as such, and it never influences our objective reporting or statistical integrity.

3. Sourcing and Attribution

We believe in giving credit where it’s due. We clearly cite original sources for news, quotes, and technical insights. Our STATS platform serves as an original source of data, and we encourage the community to cite our work when using our unique data visualizations or historical archives.

4. Ethics and Integrity

Our contributors are expected to uphold the highest standards of journalistic integrity. We avoid clickbait headlines and sensationalism, focusing instead on providing value to the motorsport fan and professional alike.

5. Corrections Policy

In the fast-paced world of motorsport, errors can occasionally occur. We are committed to transparency:

If a factual error is discovered, we will correct it immediately.
A “Correction” note will be added to the article to explain what was changed and why.
If you spot an error, please contact our support team via our Contact Page.
