After more than a year in the process, we're excited to finally release a brand new version of our marketplaces, our biggest update ever, with several improvements and new functionalities that will make buying and selling race cars smoother and simpler.
There are too many updates and improvements to list them all—and, let’s be honest, some of the technical ones aren’t exactly exciting. Some of our biggest new features and partnerships are yet to be kept as a secret, but we can promise they’re worth the wait, and we’re sure you’re going to love what’s coming.
Main improvements:
- Premium ads are now more prominent, with only two displayed per page in a larger format, increasing visibility and boosting the chances of a sale.
- Ad cards now show the country where the car or item is located, allowing buyers to quickly filter ads of interest directly in search results.
- You can now search directly by ad ID, by inserting just its number (6160 e.g.) in the search bar.
- Search pages now include an option to show or hide filters, giving more space for listings when filters are not needed.
- Individual ads can now display a “WhatsApp” button instead of “Call” if the seller enables the “Available via WhatsApp” setting, making it easier for buyers to get in touch instantly.
- Listings now clearly show ownership—private or company—and whether VAT is included in the price, providing key information to help you make informed decisions. This information is displayed prominently next to the price for easy visibility at a glance.
- Improved UX and content translation for a more seamless, user-friendly experience across all regions.
- And plenty more you'll discover while browsing through the marketplaces...
No changes in pricing
Even with rising costs, our submission and extension fees remain at the rates set in 2023. We’re not here to make a profit—we’re here to support you, making it easier to focus on what you love most: racing, buying, selling, and growing your motorsport passion.
New ways to promote your company - meet Spotlight
Give your products premium visibility with Spotlight. These native-style cards appear randomly on category pages, blending seamlessly with listings while linking directly to your website.
