RACING LINE
A JJK x F1 Zine
Racing Line is an upcoming Formula 1 x Jujutsu Kaisen zine following the events of a race weekend.
About
LIGHTS OUT AND AWAY WE GO!
Welcome to Racing Line, an upcoming fan project dedicated to a Formula 1 au using the characters from Gege Akutami’s Jujutsu Kaisen. This project was created to combine the rising love for both JJK and Formula 1.This project will include artwork and written pieces depicting a single-race weekend set in this universe. It will be modeled after a sports magazine and divided based on the three days of a race weekend: Friday free practice, Saturday qualifying, and the Sunday race. Fic writers and artists will be paired together and assigned to a team of two drivers. Once assigned they get to choose what they want to cover within that race weekend. Fics will still be written in the standard format, but if authors want to experiment with more journalistic styles, they are more than welcome to.
