NASCAR magazine

NASCAR - USA

BLAZ: ...Look, I’ve got some killer news. Starting this month—maybe even early January—you'll see NASCAR magazines hitting the stands all over the States, printed entirely in English!!! The editor-in-chief is none other than Mladen Jergović!!! ...

👍

Yeah, so NASCAR finally launched an American edition. The translation feels solid enough, though I can't help but wonder if the ad density is actually where it should be—maybe we're getting fewer commercials than the original version? It'll probably cost about $6.75
.
Personally, I’m pretty happy with it. 🙂

mistybear87 said:So, the American edition of NASCAR finally dropped, and I’ve been sitting here looking through it. Honestly, the translation holds up quite well—it doesn't feel like one of those clunky, machine-generated messes you see everywhere lately. My main gripe, though, is the layout. Looking at the page density, I can't help but feel we aren't seeing nearly as many advertisements as they do in the primary US editions. It feels a bit sparse, almost as if our market isn't being prioritized for ad placements just yet. Just my two cents. $6.75

I'm satisfied. 🙂

I’m thinking about making the purchase...

Oh, I'm picking that up this Tuesday too 🙂

AAAAA, I'm buying that the second I see it... Who knows if they'll stock it where I am now, or if I'll have to wait until I'm back in Washington, D.C....

Are our local journalists actually involved, or is this just a straight-up translation?

I decided to pick up some NASCAR tickets, and honestly, I’m pretty satisfied with the whole experience so far..

Just circling back to that NASCAR coverage—I did a little digging, and honestly, the grammar is a total mess. It’s full of weird, clunky translations where they just slap an English comment over a picture 😕 and the design sense is basically non-existent; they'll pick a great photo only to bury it under some illegible text color 👎. Overall, it's nowhere near the standard you'd see in US or Italian media, but I guess we can hope they get their act together eventually

Ashley Cook64 said:that if I overanalyze that NASCAR coverage, I’ve been scrolling through it and honestly, there are so many typos everywhere. Plus, some of the translations are just bizarre—it feels like they just run the text through a translator and then slap an English comment over the image. 😕The quality really isn't their strong suit; they'll pick a great photo only to overlay it with a text color that makes it impossible to read. 👎Overall, it just doesn't hold up compared to the standards you'd see in American or Italian publications, but hopefully, they'll get their act together eventually.

Well, you know what they say—the early birds catch the worm.😉
Blazick mentioned that starting with the next issue, they're aiming for a 1:1 replica of the American edition, and they're going to try their hardest to minimize those translation errors.👍

Let's hope he's right!🙂

I’m really hoping they finally give up on this whole "translation" of the NASCAR paddock from the actual paddock!

Or maybe they'll start calling a hairpin turn a "diagonal slope" instead, haha.

It’s true that NASCAR has been tripping over its own feet with typos and various other blunders lately... but honestly, let's give them a fair shake. They’re just getting started, and frankly, I suspect they were probably rushing through those numbers at breakneck speed when they put it together.

Let's not get hung up on the technicalities; what really matters is the actual substance of the content itself.😉

Alright, what's the deal?
Where's the latest issue? 🤔 It’s been missing for a few weeks now, I guess.
At first, I figured they were just holding out for the NASCAR season finale, but this much of a delay... maybe it's something else.

It's running about a week behind schedule.

Maybe a week? Hmm...

I really hope someone reported Dijakovic over at the ESPN headquarters—he’s out here trashing the sport he actually gets paid to cover! 🙏

nothing's actually late—I guess a new issue should be dropping around now.

I think the NASCAR race in England just wrapped up last week. We should be seeing something similar here in the States pretty soon...

They really thought they could just sit around and wait a little longer to see how this insane season would actually wrap up!!

dmj, just get Dijakovic out of the magazine—his columns are 🤮

plus, Windsor is being a bit much, overhyping Hamilton in that report from USA Japan

Windsor is the absolute bottom of the barrel when it comes to journalism.

I honestly don't think the partnership between NASCAR and Johnson is going to hold up much longer, but let's be real—that's more on the publisher's side than the editor's...

As for Windsor, I’m sticking to what I said in the last editorial. Look, I don't agree with him, but I respect his work too much to just go around cutting or swapping out his pieces...

The issue with this issue being late is just the end-of-season madness and how jammed up the print shop gets whenever we drift from our usual schedule. Plus, there was zero point in having us sitting on newsstands for a whole month when the season finale was basically right around the corner anyway.
