Driving Sports announced today the launch of Driving Sports Video, a new on-demand video series that provides auto enthusiasts with entertaining and insightful coverage of new cars, modified tuner vehicles and extreme motorsport action.
“In less than 20 years the print magazine as we know it will be obsolete. With the success of the Apple video iPod, Sony’s PlayStation Portable (PSP) and the emergence of video-capable mobile phones, transportable video on demand is clearly the future for enthusiast media,” commented Ryan Douthit, Director of MediaSpigot LLC.
“We had long considered re-launching Driving Sports as a print publication, but the opportunity to take extreme driving experiences beyond the written word–to show the action in all its tire-shredding, clutch-grinding glory was simply too irresistible to pass up.”
Each episode of Driving Sports Video features both in-the-field and studio segments. “I’m really excited about this show,” said Alison Dudek, who recently lit up primetime television as a contestant on ABC’s “The Bachelor: Paris,” and is a confirmed car nut. “I already called dibs for when we get a Mercedes SLR to test!” [PRWEB]

These hi-fi integrated systems produce the sounds and images as sharp as any top brand of flat panel tv with the help of the built-in car amplifiers
