I'm not entirely sure, but it's a fantastic way of getting around the stupidly low number of free articles you're granted per month on Autosport.

 

I normally use my quota up within a couple of weeks. But thanks to RACER, I'm able to read as many articles as I want.  ;)

They have a deal with Autosport to syndicate news articles.

Haymarket -  who own Autosport - bought a majority stake in Racer from its founders in 2001 and then sold it back to them in 2012.

Presumably the syndication was part of the deal. And so may not last forever ...
