How can we help you?

You can browse Racing Car Network completely free, without an account. Browsing vehicles, jobs, services, switching currency — all available to anyone. You only need an account when you want to contact a seller, save favorites, list a vehicle, post a job or talent profile, list a service, or apply as a verified dealer.

Forgot your password? Click "Forgot password?" on the login page — we email a reset link valid 24 hours. The whole flow stays inside Racing Car Network, never redirected to a generic WordPress login page.

The homepage hero bar lets you filter by vehicle type (Race Cars, Bikes, Parts, Transport, Accessories, Sim Racing), category, max price, and location. The results page lets you refine further by year, body style, condition, fuel, drive, brand and more.

The header menu also gives one-click access to Jobs & Talent and Services — separate marketplaces with their own filters (role, discipline, region, category, price range).

Switch between grid view and list view. On any listing you'll see the photo gallery, full specifications, seller info, a location map, and similar listings at the bottom.

Listing is free for everyone — private sellers and dealers. No commission on sales: the platform connects buyer and seller, the transaction happens directly between you. Private sellers can upload up to 10 photos per listing; verified dealers up to 30.

Click the red "+ Sell" button — in the desktop header, or the central prominent button in the mobile bottom bar. The wizard walks you through:

1. Pick the type — Race Car, Bike, Parts/Engine, Transporter, Accessories, or Sim Racing. Each unlocks the relevant fields.
2. Choose a sub-category — GT & Endurance, Formula, Rally, Sim Cockpit, Wheelbase, etc. This decides where your listing appears.
3. Add details — title, year, body, condition, transmission, fuel, drive, mileage, engine cc/hp, brand, VIN, stock number, registration date, colours, sim-racing compatibility, and specific features.
4. Set the price — big amount on the left, currency selector on the right. Live conversion chips show what international buyers see. Tick "Price on application" if you prefer offers.
5. Photos & documents — drag in up to 10 (or 30 for dealers) images, JPG/PNG/WEBP, max 5 MB each. The first becomes the cover. Add up to 10 documents for service history, FIA papers, inspection reports.
6. Location — type the city or track, pick the right result. We geocode it automatically so buyers see a map. Accept the terms and submit.

After submission, the listing enters "Pending review". Our team checks within 24 hours for completeness and authenticity, then approves it. You receive a notification email when it goes live.

Racing Car Network hosts a dedicated motorsport jobs board and talent directory at /jobs/. There are two entry types:

Click "+ Post a job or talent profile" in the header, footer, or your dashboard. The form takes ~3 minutes:

1. Type — pick "I'm a team hiring" or "I'm available for hire" (visual cards).

3. Experience level — Entry / Mid / Senior / Pro level cards.
4. Location — Leaflet map with geocoder search. Tick "Willing to relocate" if applicable.
5. Compensation — Full-time, Part-time, Season, Race-by-race, Volunteer, Available for hire, Looking for seat. Add salary range if you want.
6. Photo & document — logo / portrait + an optional CV/brochure PDF. Drag-and-drop, JPG/PNG/PDF, max 4 MB each.
7. Description — career highlights, achievements, what you bring. Markdown supported.
8. Closing date (jobs only) — listing auto-archives after this date.

All jobs and talent profiles live in your dashboard under Account → My Listings → Jobs & Talent, alongside any vehicle listings.

The Services directory at /services/ is a curated marketplace of motorsport specialists: race prep, engine builders, gearbox houses, restorers, paint shops, transporters, driver coaches, telemetry analysts, hospitality, sim-racing coaches, insurance, storage.

Click "+ List a service". The form covers:

1. Company name & tagline — a punchy one-liner sells you. Up to 80 chars.
2. Categories & regions — multi-select chips so a "GT3 engine builder serving Italy + Germany + UK" shows up in 3 region filters and 1 category filter.
3. Location — full address with Leaflet map + geocoder. Buyers see a map on your single page.
4. Contact — phone, email, website, Instagram, Facebook. All hidden behind the in-app chat if you prefer; revealed at your discretion.
5. Founded year & languages — show your experience and what languages you speak with international clients.
6. Price tier — visual cards: € Budget · €€ Mid-range · €€€ Premium · POA. Helps buyers self-filter before contacting.
7. Gallery — drag-and-drop multi-image upload, reorder by drag, choose the cover. JPG/PNG/WEBP up to 5 MB each.
8. Documents — upload PDFs (price list, portfolio, certifications) with custom labels.
9. Specialties — bullet-point list of what you actually do best.

Manage all your service listings under Account → My Listings → Services. Same actions as vehicles: view, edit, delete.

All your content lives in your dashboard at Account → My Listings. A top sub-nav switches between three columns: Listings, Jobs & Talent, Services. Each tab shows its own counters and status filters (All · Active · Pending · Drafts · Trash).

The dashboard top counters show 6 KPIs at a glance: Active Listings · Jobs & Talent · Services · Total Views · Favorites Saved · Unread Messages. Each row shows weekly views, total views and favorites received.

On any listing, job or service page, click "Contact". A clean modal opens with a pre-filled introduction you can edit. You need to be logged in — if not, you're prompted with a quick log-in / register choice.

Before sending you must accept the Privacy Policy and Terms — the platform refuses to submit otherwise. The message lands in the recipient's inbox at Account → Messages with a real-time badge and an email notification.

Managing your conversations

Each conversation row in your inbox has a "⋮" overflow menu (hover or tap) with two actions:

Anti-abuse protections

The platform protects everyone with automated guards plus human review:

• Rate limit — 30 messages/hour for private accounts, 100/hour for verified dealers.
• URL spam detection — messages with 3+ links are auto-flagged for staff review.
• Cross-spam pattern — if the same message is sent to 5+ different people in 24h, the system auto-flags it.
• Email alerts — every spam report or auto-flag emails the admin team immediately.
• Block enforcement — blocked accounts can read past conversations but cannot send any new messages anywhere.

Tap the heart icon on any vehicle listing to save it. It appears immediately under Account → Favorites. Sellers see the favorite count for their own listings as a real-engagement signal — but never the names of the specific users who saved it (your privacy is preserved).

To save a refined search (e.g. "Formula 3 cars under $80,000 in Italy"), click "Save this search" on the results page. Manage all saved searches under Account → Saved Searches.

If you sell race vehicles or motorsport services professionally, applying for verified dealer status is free and unlocks:

• Verified badge on every listing, job posting and service
• Up to 30 photos per listing (vs 10 for private sellers)
• A dedicated dealer profile page
• Priority placement in the Dealers directory
• Higher messaging rate limit (100/hour vs 30/hour)
• Bulk-listing tools (coming soon)

Apply via "Become a Dealer" button in your dashboard sidebar. Fill in your business name, VAT number, country, website, and a short description. Our team reviews within 1–2 business days and emails you when approved.

Racing Car Network is built around four pillars to protect buyers, sellers, hirers and talent alike:

What to do if something goes wrong

• Fake listing — use the report link at the bottom of any listing, or contact us with the URL.
• Pushy seller — use the "⋮" menu in your inbox to delete the conversation or report it as spam.
• Job posting that smells like a scam — same as above. We block recruiters who ask for money to "process applications".
• Unresponsive seller — listings inactive for 90+ days are auto-archived. If a seller goes silent mid-conversation, we don't intervene in transactions — but we'll flag them if it's a pattern.
• Account blocked by mistake — a red banner appears in your inbox with the reason. Email support, we reply within 24h.

Your profile lives at Account → Profile. From here you can change your name, phone, email, password, photo and bio. Email and password changes require entering your current password to confirm — protection if someone else has access to your device.

The password strength meter (Weak/Fair/Good/Strong) gives instant feedback as you type. Minimum length is 8 characters. We email you a security notification any time your password is changed.

Lost your password? From the login page click "Forgot password?", enter your email or username, and we send a reset link valid 24 hours. The reset flow happens entirely inside Racing Car Network — never the WordPress wp-login page.

If you want to leave Racing Car Network, go to Account → Profile → Danger Zone. You can choose two outcomes for your active listings:

To confirm, type DELETE in the confirmation box (case-sensitive). Once confirmed, profile, favorites, saved searches, messages and conversations are permanently removed. The action cannot be undone.

Racing Car Network is built around three privacy principles:
