Drivers Republic
Drivers Republic (also referred to as “DR”) was a web-based digital platform comprising a bespoke social community for drivers, online magazine and video channel. The title was privately owned and managed by British-based NewMedia Republic Limited. It ceased publication in August 2009 due to differences over the direction taken by its owners and the creative team who produced its magazine and video content. After closing down the original website, the Drivers Republic domain resurfaced in a new site called SkiddMark.
== History==
Drivers Republic was founded in March 2008 by Steve Davies together with Richard Meaden; a co-founder of Evo (magazine), Jethro Bovingdon; former deputy-Editor of Evo magazine and Chris Harris; former road test editor of Autocar magazine. They were soon joined by Neil Carey, formerly the designer at Evo magazine.〔(Car magazine veterans get behind the wheel of new web-only venture ) ''Press Gazette. '' Retrieved on 2008-07-02〕
Davies was the only non-journalist of the founding team, being a former management consultancy partner in KPMG Consulting and managing partner in Experian Integrated Marketing. It was within his time at Experian and working together with Hitwise that he gained a profile for advising businesses such as Yahoo, Microsoft and eBay on social networking and internet marketing. Davies provided the initial investment to create and launch Drivers Republic.〔(GEARED-UP TO DELIVER DIGITAL PUBLICATIONS ) ''Sunday Express Newspaper and Daily Express Newspaper '' Retrieved on 2009-02-02〕
Driver's Republic ceased operations on 11 August 2009. Steve Davies explained the shutdown via a blog post on the site: "There has been plenty of speculation on other sites and forums about the reasons why this has occurred, and despite the first impressions that it must have been for financial reasons, nothing could be further from the truth. Thanks to your participation and the generous support of the automotive industry we were in rude health and looking forward to a bumper year, but differences in our vision about future priorities have led to a parting of ways." 〔http://blog.drivers-republic.com/2009/08/11/farewell-to-dr/〕
