HOW IT WORKS

Three Kinds of Listings.
Labelled Honestly.

Most events on Drive This are editorial picks. We choose them, we write them, they change by season. Nobody pays for those, and nobody can.

A few events carry the ★ Drive This Pick label. That is an editorial distinction, our personal shortlist of the events we would plan a trip around.

Beyond that, there are two ways to work with us. A Media Partnership, where we cover your event and you give us access. Or a Partner Listing, where you pay for a guaranteed year-round spot on the map. Both are labelled “Partner” on pin and card. Both are held to the same relevance standard.

MEDIA PARTNERSHIP

We Cover Your Event.
You Let Us In.

Drive This works with a small number of events each season as a media partner. The exchange is simple: you provide press accreditation and access, we provide coverage and visibility.

What a Media Partnership Gets You
  • Featured pin on the map, year-round
  • Full event page with your photos, description, and booking link
  • Coverage on our channels before and during the event
  • A Field Report with original photography after the event
  • Mention in our monthly newsletter, 500+ subscribers
  • Monthly analytics by email
What We Ask In Return
  • Press accreditation for our editor and photographer
  • Access to paddock, grid, or display areas where coverage happens
  • Your event materials: photos, dates, programme

Media partnerships are by application or invitation. We take on a handful per season, chosen for fit, not size. Arosa ClassicCar, Retro Classics, and Classic Days Magny-Cours are among our current partners.

PARTNER LISTING

A Guaranteed Spot.
Every Season.

Editorial listings rotate. Every year we review what’s on the map; events get added, some don’t make the cut again. A Partner listing removes that question.

Partner Listing €1’000 / CHF 1’000 a year
  • Large country-colour pin, year-round, badged Partner
  • Full event detail page: your photos, your description, your booking link
  • Optional discount code for Drive This visitors
  • Mention in our monthly newsletter, 500+ subscribers
  • Monthly analytics by email
  • Automatic rollover to the next edition
  • One invoice, one renewal

When your edition ends, your pin stays on the map pointing to the next one. Same spot, same size. People browsing in winter still find you.

EDITORIAL NOTE

A partnership does not buy editorial opinion. Field Reports and the ★ Drive This Pick are decided independently.

Questions

FAQs

What’s the difference between a Media Partnership and a Partner listing?
A Media Partnership is an exchange: access and accreditation for coverage and visibility.

A Partner listing is paid: €1'000 or CHF 1'000 a year for a guaranteed year-round spot on the map.

Media Partnerships are limited and curated; Partner listings are open to any event that fits the audience.
What is a Drive This Pick?
The ★ Drive This Pick label marks the events we would plan a trip around ourselves. It is an editorial call, made independently, and it is not for sale.

A Partner event can earn a Pick and a Pick can lose it. The two labels measure different things: one is a commercial arrangement, the other is our opinion.
Is every event accepted?
No. Drive This is curated. If your event fits European car culture (collector cars, classic motorsport, concours, track days, serious meets) you likely qualify.

What we don't list: paid participation tours and private drives. Drive This covers events the public can attend, not travel products. When in doubt, ask.
What does “year-round pin” mean?
Most events on Drive This run annually. When your edition ends, your pin stays on the map pointing to the next one, same spot, same size. People browsing in winter still find you.
Can I update my listing after it goes live?
Yes. Send an email. Discount code, new photos, description change, usually live within 48 hours.
Who is Drive This?
An editor in Zurich and freelance photographers across Europe. One contact for everything: editorial, listings, updates. No agency, no account manager.
