The REAL reason HARRIS RANTED
Discussion
Harris is dissatisfied with much of the profession of automotive journalism. Indeed this is why he left Autocar to form Drivers-Republic. Only problem was his backer at DR didn't turn out to be who he hoped, he was the same marketing/corporate hype master as Dennis and Haymarket have in power.
AND..YOU CAN BET GOOD MONEY that EVO will not associate themselves with this, and really it does not matter to Dennis and HIS highness LORD CALF, as Harris is only freelance. You can't sack a freelancer- just choose to use or not, based on xyz story.
Evo will still play the whole game - with the lord and dennis execs jetting out to Italia to "report" the "future of Ferrari" stories we always get.
The real message Harris delivers is that we need a new kind of Car magazine run by enthusiasts which uses owner cars and DOES not go on any "trips" but rather just tests real cars! NOT drivers-republic but at least --Auto-journalists republic-- He just needs the right financial contacts to fund this. Wonder if he can do it? j
