All paid users on Patreon now have access to a reduced ad environment on The Race website.
Added 2024-08-09 08:10:44 +0000 UTCHi everyone 👋,
You may have received an email from us welcoming you to The Race Members’ Club again. ‘What’s that?’ you may have thought.
Well, it’s good news! We’ve been able to grant all of you who have a paid Patreon membership a free subscription to our website. This means that if you log in on The-Race.com, you will not be served any banner ads. All you need to do is log in with the same email you use for Patreon and you’ll be emailed a link to sign in.
For those of you who use our website, we hope this will make your experience more enjoyable.
Any questions - please let us know!

Hi Blair. We’ve previously shared updates on the app situation in our main community group, most recently in reply to another question about it 4 days ago. Logging in via a mobile web browser will work and give you the ad-free experience without any issues.

2025-05-05 10:23:52 +0000 UTCThe app fires full screen ads whenever I scroll too far on an article I can never actually finish the article. And my paid Patreon membership does not feature the articles. What’s going on there? Anyone else have this issue? Been trying to read the sainz albon radio drama article but think I’ll give up.

2025-05-05 10:18:09 +0000 UTCYou don’t need to cancel both. You should just be able to cancel the web membership and you’ll then still get access to the website using whichever email address you’ve used to sign up to Patreon. DM us if you have any trouble 🤞🏻

2024-11-09 20:36:07 +0000 UTCMy problem is that I now have two paid memberships, one for patreon and one for the web, both under the same email. Do I need to cancel both and then rejoin under patreon only?

2024-11-09 18:08:08 +0000 UTCI’m sure you meant well but I can’t share the enthusiasm - you used personal data I gave to Patreon to sign me up for something that I didn’t ask to be signed up for and started sending me a newsletter that I never subscribed to or opted into … no big deal, I simply unsubscribed again, but also not very cool …

2024-08-16 11:55:37 +0000 UTCDoes this include the app too? Website has worked fine, but cant seem to manage the same with my phone app
