Thread: Formula Monkey (FRM) Review

Tracker Name: Formula Monkey

Tracker URL: : http://www.formulamonkey.com

Tracker Type: Sports



Formula Monkey is a Motorsport tracker with a great community of Motorsport fans. The content is dedicated to anything to do with Motorsports from F1 to practically all the races around the world in sections such as videos, magazines, pictures, e books and more.

Due to the specialised content seeding isn't the easiest but there are tons of freeleech to boost your ratio. Speeds are good and torrents are usually uploaded within 30 minutes of being aired on TV.

Personal Opinion

Overall I feel that Formula Monkey is a great tracker with good content, good speeds and an active community. It's not the best looking of trackers but the content definitely makes up for this.

Also the request section from what I have seen seems fairly good with requests usually being accepted within a few days, also anyone can submit a request it doesn't matter what status you are.

Surviving on Formula Monkey isn't as bad as say some music trackers, but I would recommend a seedbox as you will need to seed for a long time to build ratio up as it is specialised content. But don't forget there is freeleech so that makes life easier!!

With freeleech once a file is set to freeleech it is usually freeleech forever. You cannot request freeleech, only admins and mods decide what to put up as freeleech but new files usually appear every other week.

If you are a real enthusiast of Motorsport then this is the place for you!
