With Summer approaching in most European countries – well underway for the past month or so in Italy with temperatures as high as 34o C – this issue features some really hot stuff, starting with the European KZ Championships, which saw two newcomers on top of the podium. As well as all the month’s racing, Italcorse IT18 Deluxe Track Test is our exclusive technical feature. Also, we carry on our investigation on the state of KF racing across Europe visiting Germany; we interviewed Energy’s Michele Panigada, Toro Rosso F1 driver Jean Eric Vergne, and we present Sodikart W Series Grand Final in Paris.
Vroom, digital edition
Digital good, paper too… quality is not an optional!
I remember Blade Runner yet again, a science fiction film from 1982 set in Los Angeles in the 21st century, when Harrison Ford tries to blow up, enlarge a photogram made from a print with a three dimensional intelligent scanner that responds to his orders until it pulls out a detail that wasn’t visible in the original picture. Today, technology is even more advanced than that of the quality of digital pictures. And to think it took so long to get it going, then after thirty years from the first prototype, still today digital hasn’t entirely taken over from traditional photography. First of all because this is deeply rooted in our culture and in the customs and habits of people and because there is a widespread service offered that satisfies the customers’ needs, but it is also because there is a business, it is from films that firms make their profit. One thing is sure though that this technology has developed lots of advantages that help communication, such as internet and the success of social networks. And this evolution has enriched the diffusion of general information thanks to Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube; just to mention a few of the most well-known. Now, thanks to some applications, invented by a genius, Steve Jobs, and thanks to the PDF format (Portable Document Format) by Adobe©, editors can show editorial work online without problems. An important solution that helps to present columns thanks to more space to work on and insert pictures and things such as videos. Therefore, also this reading, which was initially limited to the traditional Press, thanks to this new technology, changes into a multimedia vision, which is undoubtedly more interesting and exciting; it is also a solution to the problem recently seen where some tendencies have ended up leaving behind the traditional reader, he who loves reading books, daily newspapers or magazines and like many still tend to snob digital photography.
The world changes and we are all in one way or another called to change with it. Therefore Vroom too has at last created its digital offer for karting fans that have been with us for so long. Our aim is to respect our editorial policy that has always made our magazine stand out also for the digital format of Vroom. I hope our personalised articles for this platform satisfy your expectations and in a way they will surprise you too. Vroom magazine will continue to be published monthly because there are lots of readers who prefer the paper version, however, I can tell you that Vroom digital gives a wider panorama of our world only because there is a chance of having more space at a very low cost for an editorial business, which has to cover endless cost for publishing and distributing a magazine.
Furthermore, I take the opportunity to inform our readers that it is possible to download special articles that are dealt with in the magazine on this platform. We are really curious to see what results this new initiative dedicated to karting fans will have. So, don’t waste any more time and download Vroom application available on App Store and Google Play. Relax and enjoy it.
