Trackside Views by @Chris_Gurton!

With 64 votes Trackside Views narrowly took the top spot in our Best Car Blog poll, which received over 300 votes from all you car enthusiasts, Longlife stainless steel exhaust fans and auto blog fanatics.

Trackside Views fantastic mix of racing news, in depth racing commentary and original action photography from major circuits saw it claim top spot in our Best Car Blogs poll, ahead of many big name blogs including UK Autoblog, Top gear and Auto Week.

Following shortly behind in 2nd place was MotorMorph, with its mix of satirical commentary and fantastic car reviews. With 62 votes they just missed out on the top spot but were still impressively ahead of the rest of the top 10.

Following up in 3rd place, with 40 votes, was Petrol Blog, a unique blog taking a slightly different approach to car reviews, mixing them in with car confessionals, car history and, in their own words, a lot of random car waffle!

Here then is a rundown of the Top 10 Car Blogs, according to you the readers:

1. tracksideviews.com – @Chris_Gurton – 64 Votes

Help us Pick the Best Car Blog

Thursday, April 21st, 2011


Here at Longlife we love a good old Car Blog full of reviews, news and videos and we have been thinking lately “which is the best Car Blog on the web?”.

So, here in the office we decided to compile a list of our favourite Car Blogs from around the web. Problem is there are just too many good ones! So, after a fair bit of debating, we managed to get the list down to just 20 and decided that you, the car and blog enthusiasts, could help us narrow it down to a top 10 and help us pick the number 1 ultimate Car Blog.

All you need to do is pick your favourite Car Blog from the list below, and for those who can’t decide, you can pick up to 3! We will then compile the votes and announce the winners next week on Tue 26th April. So tell your friends, get voting and help us pick the best Car Blog on the web!
