One of the first things I did while setting up the Speed Blog Twitter account was to do a serach of Twitter accounts so I could set up feeds from the various sanctioning bodies that control the series we cover.

I searched for F1, FIA, NASCAR, NHRA, IRL, IndyCar, WRC, ALMS, A1GP and GP2.

And only one series had an official Twitter feed.

Congratulations to the World Rally Championship for being up to date with the latest trends in social media and online communications.

So where are the rest of you?

There are literally millions of users on Twitter and the number is growing exponentially every day. It’s also rapidly becoming one of the  most effective marketing, and messaging channels in this digital age.

Shouldn’t a sport that prides itself as being at the forefront of technology be on the leading edge of communications as well as materials development, aerodynamics et al?
