In automotive journalism, publishing times are often driven by international events, scheduled press releases and tests that end far from Europe. That is why it is not unusual to see articles and reviews go live at three in the morning, especially when the story starts in the United States or Asia.

For readers in Italy it may look odd, but for editors it is a practical choice: being first to cover a launch, a review or a new product matters. The result is nonstop coverage, day and night, following the global car market without ever really stopping.
