In an era where social media dominates and the competition for views and clicks intensifies, the quality of motorsports journalism has suffered. The timeless principles of journalism—truthfulness, accuracy, and factual reporting—are too often overshadowed by sensationalism and the race for online engagement. Misinformation and unverified rumors spread quickly, often overshadowing accurate reporting. In the relentless churn of news and social media posts, these false claims are soon forgotten—leaving accountability behind.

The Motorsports Journalism Reliability Database exists to combat this trend. Our goal is to highlight reliable sources while calling out those who compromise journalistic integrity.

By maintaining a record of the claims made by motorsports journalists, bloggers, podcasters, influencers, and other sources of motorsports news, we provide a clear picture of who can be trusted—and who cannot.

Our platform is built on transparency and community involvement. Here’s how it operates:

Submitting Claims: Users can submit claims made by any motorsports media personality, outlet, or source—whether it’s from a social media post, article, podcast, or other platforms. Simply click the 'Submit Claim' button to begin.

Moderation Process: Every claim goes through a moderation process to ensure validity. Our dedicated moderators review each submission to verify that it’s a relevant and trackable claim before it’s made public.

Claim Resolution: Once a claim is approved, it’s displayed on the site. Users can submit evidence to mark claims as either true or false. These resolutions are also moderated to ensure accuracy and prevent abuse.

Sourcing: All claims and resolutions must include a verifiable source URL, making it easy for anyone to review the original content. Transparency is key to our platform, and every piece of data is backed by publicly available information.

Our moderation team consists of individuals from various professional backgrounds, all united by a common passion for improving the standard of motorsports journalism.
