Rennteam.Com - First Global Social Networking Site for Sports Car Enthusiasts Goes Online

Posted on: Monday, 27 October 2008, 18:00 CDT

KARLSRUHE, Germany, October 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Rennteam.com initiates a new era for online communities: the globally successful Internet-Community Rennteam provides the first social networking site for sports car enthusiasts to combine all the functionality of modern contact networks.

In contrast to XING, Facebook and LinkedIn, Rennteam has expanded and enhanced the portal of an already existing community of interest to become a social networking site - thus uniting sports car fans from around the world. In a private area the like-minded enthusiasts can follow the community's activities, manage their contacts, exchange personal messages and update their profiles.

The "Rennteam 2.0" project was until now one of the most closely guarded secrets on the Internet - the project has involved months of preparatory work and development prior to the impending launch of the portal: on 27th October 2008, at 9.11 pm Central European Time, car lovers from around the world will be able to access the site. The launch time was selected as a fitting tribute to the iconic Porsche 911.

Faithful to the Web 2.0 philosophy, the members themselves shape the portal. A highly-sophisticated assessment and evaluation procedure determines which contributions qualify for inclusion in the portal.

With the slogan "Think global. Meet local." Rennteam supports the establishment of regional groups. These are divided into the regions USA, Asia and the Middle East, and Europe, which focuses on Germany, Great Britain, France, Italy and Spain. The portal is available in English, German, Spanish, French and Italian.

Since 2002, rennteam.com has established itself as one of the favourite addresses for shared joy about exclusive sports cars, technology and lifestyle issues. Several hundred thousand visitors per month, and more than 13,000 members from almost every country in the world, search for and find useful information about models and fittings, as well as test reports and coveted insider news. The contributors are primarily sports car owners who provide first hand information about their experiences and also exchange pictures and videos.
