An open letter to fans of DIVEBOMB Motorsport Magazine

The following words are from Dan Jones, Managing Director of DIVEBOMB Motorsport Magazine.

It's been 12 months since I posted an open letter on DIVEBOMB Motorsport Magazine's new website as I previewed what we had in-store for 2025. I had some bold ambitions and some bold statements in that letter, none more than: We enter DIVEBOMB's most exciting era as we continue to go strength-to-strength as an organisation, and 2025 will see that trend continue as we aim to reach new heights on the content of quality, for you, the fans, to enjoy.

As I reflect on these last 12 months, I could not be more proud of what we have collectively achieved against those ambitions.

We launched new podcasts for Endurance, Formula One and NASCAR, had continued representation at global motorsports events including the Indianapolis 500, Monaco E-Prix and Petit Le Mans and had a record-breaking number of articles released on the DIVEBOMB website.

That is in addition to numerous blockbuster interviews throughout the year, including the likes of Will Buxton, Christian Lundgaard, Jack Aitken, Jake Dennis, Zak O'Sullivan, Mike Conway, Taylor Barnard and the 2025 IndyCar champion and Indianapolis 500 winner Álex Palou, just to name a few.

Most significantly of all, we continued to create a pathway for those seeking paid roles in the industry. There is nothing more gratifying then seeing our contributors achieve life-long goals and we cannot wait to see their continued successes into 2026 and beyond.

2025 marked more people than ever reading our published articles, more people than ever interacting with our social media content and more people than ever listening to our podcasts. A huge thank you to all that engaged with DIVEBOMB's content throughout the year, we hope you enjoy our content as much as we enjoy creating motorsport content by motorsport fans, for motorsport fans.

In just five years, the extraordinary collective work of our writers and contributors has accelerated DIVEBOMB into one of the leading volunteer-led, non-profit motorsport publications as we continue to reach those new heights year-on-year.

I feel so immensely privileged to lead such a talented and hard-working team with the continual effort and dedication of our contributors never failing to amaze me each time I reflect on the previous year, with the DIVEBOMB platform you see today serving as an inspirational reminder what the efforts of like-minded volunteers can do.

Looking forward to the year ahead, our coverage is only going to continue to grow further. With a new era of Formula One approaching, a continued golden age in endurance racing upon us and further storylines across the motorsport landscape that captivate us all, we cannot wait to tell the stories that will make up 2026.

Whether it is 22 Formula One cars around the narrow streets of Monaco, 27 Supercars roaring down the Conrod Straight at Bathurst, 33 Indy cars crossing the bricks at Indianapolis or 40 NASCARs duelling it out on the high banks of Daytona, DIVEBOMB will be there to cover it. The best news? That action starts next week with Formula E at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, with our live coverage of major endurance races starting in just three weeks in the ever-enthralling 24 Hours of Daytona.

Alongside giving a level of coverage that will supersede what we have achieved in 2025, we will continue to develop a pathway for contributors looking for their first venture in the motorsport journalism and media space and continue our dedication in supporting our contributors land dream full-time roles in the industry, continuing what we have so proudly achieved over the last five years.

It is incredible to think that later this month will mark our half-decade anniversary and the work over the last five years has been quite unbelievable. A heartfelt thanks to all who have contributed to DIVEBOMB past or present, who's dedication has led DIVEBOMB to the position we found ourselves today.

But, a final thanks to all of you. None of this would have ever been possible without those who read the stories, who engage with the posts, who listen to the podcasts and who provide the opportunities. You all make up a part of what DIVEBOMB is today. We appreciate all the kind words, the feedback you provide and the sharing of our passion.

I am so starstruck by what we achieved in 2025, but I can only promise for 2026 to be even better. We have a very exciting 12 months ahead and I only hope you will continue to enjoy our content by motorsport fans, for motorsport fans.
