"Dad, why isn't there a motoring magazine just for kids?”

That question from 8-year-old Sam highlights a huge problem: kids in Key Stages 2 and 3 lack hands-on learning that prepares them for the adult world and future careers. This creates a critical talent gap in the motor industry, costing the UK £8 billion annually with over 20,000 current vacancies.

Roadster! is our unique, non-profit answer: the high-quality magazine by kids, for kids. Our purpose is to ignite passion, build confidence, and boost literacy and STEM skills through a proven, entertaining connected learning approach. With eight successful issues, we've shown real demand in the £17 billion children's activity market, and are even seeing interest from the US.

We offer the motor industry a vital platform to inspire its future talent.

Led by Sam and a growing network of Roadster! kids across the UK, supported by dedicated adults, our team needs seed funding for printing and wider distribution to families and schools. In return, we offer unparalleled youth outreach through advertising, sponsorship, and direct partnering opportunities to inspire the next generation!

Join us to scale this vital social project.

🚗 SMALL SUPPORT, BIG IMPACT! Roadster! Powers National Champions

(Please like and share this post - help us get this message out!)

In June 2025, Drift Dynamics Racing, a student team from The Bishops’ Blue Coat High School, Chester, claimed the Scalextric 4 Schools National Finals championship.

Their victory, a blend of skill and dedication, was amplified by Roadster!, a small, youth-led magazine championing big dreams.

WHY WE INVESTED
Roadster! is an ideal: inspiring young people in motoring, engineering, and storytelling. When Drift Dynamics' manager, Aaron, sought support, we saw potential.

We don’t have a huge budget, but we saw how a small, wisely invested sum could have vast impact. Our micro-sponsorship wouldn’t just support the team - it would support us too. This partnership was about purpose, not just pounds.

THE TEAM'S GAINS
Our support delivered more than funds; it built confidence, identity, and visibility:

Financial: Covered essentials, branding, and presentation.
Branding: Roadster! logo on purple shirts made them stand out, fostering unity.
Presentation: Their professional presentation highlighted real-world communication skills.
Credibility: Sponsorship boosted pride: "We're worth backing."
Experience: Gained skills in brand representation and partnerships.
Inspiration: Their success now fuels future student initiatives.
Confidence: They transformed from students to empowered professionals.

ROADSTER!'S RETURNS
This was a mutual success:

Visibility: Brand exposure at a national STEM event.
Alignment: Perfect match with our mission.
Credibility: Proved small support yields big outcomes.
Content: A powerful story for our readers.
Connection: Stronger ties with educators and future innovators.
Pride: Seeing our logo on champions was pure joy. We made a difference.

MICRO-SPONSORSHIP'S POWER
Our partnership proves you don't need to give a lot for a HUGE difference. Small support sparks confidence and helps young people achieve extraordinary things.

A modest contribution helped a school team become champions…

Imagine what more could achieve.

WHY WE NEED YOU
Roadster! is a not-for-profit, paying it forward, but we’re alarmingly alone. Like Drift Dynamics, we need a boost.

Every penny supports:

* Magazine production
* Reaching more young readers
* Supporting youth-led projects

**Team Drift Dynamics Racing x Roadster!**
Scalextric4Schools 2025 Finals

🚗💨 Design. Engineering. Racing. Teamwork.

What a day! We finally got to cheer on Drift Dynamics Racing in person at the Triumph Factory Visitor Experience, and they absolutely blew us away!

From pitch-perfect presentations to solving high-pressure challenges on the fly, this young Scalextric 4 Schools team worked as one—collaborating in the pits, adapting on the track, and delivering a standout Le Mans performance. A well-oiled machine in every sense. 🙌

It’s been a privilege backing this team—from our first partnership announcement at the UK Slot Car Festival to today’s national finale. This is what connected learning *looks* like. And trust us, every team competing brought passion, grit, and serious skill.

As sponsors, we couldn’t be prouder.
As Roadster!, we see what’s possible.
Imagine what we could do with more support?

Big congrats to Drift Dynamics and a heartfelt thanks for having us.

Can’t wait to do it again in 2026.
