About Drive Cult

Drive Cult is not your average car fansite. We aim to be something different, a breath of fresh air in amongst the crowded world of automotive blogs on the internet.

We want to share our passion and enthusiasm for all things automotive; to give a real-life view of the ups and downs of motoring; to give coverage to, and share, experiences and subjects not usually covered in the mainstream press.

Most of all, we aim to be original, to be unusual, to find an alternative angle, to be different and engaging.

The Drive Cult team

Martin Spain

Technical Lead and Editor

Martin Spain is the technical brains behind Drive Cult, but please don't hold that against him. When he's not building websites for blue chip corporates and car companies, he can be found with a Canon camera glued to his face at motorsport events, or driving his car along the broken B-roads of South East England.

Chris Ratcliff

Lead Photographer and Writer

Chris has had a lifelong obsession with cars and photography, and luckily he gets to write about both subjects for Drive Cult. He's also been known to watch a Formula 1 race or two, and swears blind that the big red Canon logo on the rear wing of Nigel Mansell's 1986 Williams is what makes him spend so much on Canon gear.

Alastair Preacher

Contributor

Alastair has a taste for the less cosseting end of the motoring spectrum, owning both a race-prepared E30 BMW and an S1 Elise. He can most often be found on track, at the garage getting the Lotus fixed (naturally), or trying to convince his long-suffering wife that the Eifel mountains is the perfect family holiday destination.

Now as a vehicle dynamics engineer and aftermarket tuner he's well placed to offer insight and opinion into all things automotive.
