Chapter 23

Magazines

23.1 Motor Sport Magazines

In an ideal world, it would be easy to find entertaining, comprehensive
and accurate coverage of all the world's interesting motorsport. In
practice, you might find it better to subscribe to a magazine that
might not be widely available from local shops.
  A magazine subscription can be a really good way of improving your
foreign language skills. Its much easier to grind your way through an
article, checking every third word in a dictionary, if you have a real
interest in the subject matter. You will pick up a lot of the specific
jargon in a very short time, after which you should be able to read
many of the articles in a reasonable time. If you already know the
outline of a news story, its much easier to translate complicated
sections.
  It is very interesting to compare the reactions of the journalists
and letter writers from different countries to the same stories. In
1989, the German press was hilarious when it was discussing the abysmal
performances of the German Zakspeed and Rial F1 teams. I daresay
Italians would get as much enjoyment from some of the reactions in the
British press to Alfa Romeo's current domination of the BTCC.
  I've added comments to some of the entries. I've left these blank for
some magazines where I don't read the magazine or if I'm not sure if
I've seen a representative issue. The issue I saw of Pit Pass included
a five page full colour pictorial about Derrike Cope's new house (!).
  I've included magazines which have a significant amount of motor
sports coverage - say a half or more. This excludes magazines like Car,
Sport Auto, Autocar & Motor and Car & Driver which concentrate more on
road cars, even if they do cover some races.

  Features Australian Road Racing, Speedway (Ovals) Rallies and Drags

  Sport:1/1 Current News.
  Period: Fortnightly, 44 pages, some colour, tabloid newspaper
  Language:English
  Opinion: [ BR ] First published in 1993 by ex Autosport UK journo and
  Kart racer Chris Lambden as competition to Auto Action. Good Writers
  covering Aussie scene as well as F1, Rallies and Indycars. Has a very
  good Aussie and US Drag racing coverage and even dabbles in Bikes.
  Poor layout and pictures, It just doesn't seem to have the impact of
  AA. Sometimes guilty of "going tabloid" in an attempt to scoop the
  competition.

Auto Racing
  Language:English
  Opinion:[ AHH ] A UK magazine specifically covering the IndyCar
  series.

Autosport (from UK)
  Address:Haymarket Specialist Motoring Publications, 60 Waldegrave

  Telephone:Great Britain (44) 181 943 5998

  Telex:895 2440
  Sport:1/1 Current News. Updated 1/95
  Period:51/year, 104 pages, all colour, magazine
  Language:English

  Subscriptions:You can choose from:

  1. Direct from the UK: Subscriptions, Autosport, PO Box 219, Woking,
     Surrey, GU21 1ZW, UK. Tel: Great Britain (44) 1453 733800 Fax:
     Great Britain (44) 1453 776573. The "premier" service includes
     some freebies like 4 litres of Mobil 1 synthetic oil and reduced
     prices for race tickets. The "competitor" service lets you share
     in a prize fund if you have an Autosport sticker on your car and
     you do well in an event. American subscriptions are officially
     discouraged direct from the UK.

                                      Premier               Competitor
     UK                               GBP  90.00             GBP 120.00
     Europe, or Overseas surface mail GBP  97.00             GBP 127.00
     Middle East/Africa/India         GBP 131.00             GBP 161.00
     Rest of World                    GBP 169.00             GBP 199.00

     [ DJ ] I have subscribed direct through the UK since 1979. The
     trend in the last year or two has been that I receive my issues on
     the Monday or Tuesday after the publish date. In the early 90's I
     received them always on the Friday after the publish date, i.e.
     the next day and sometimes on Saturday. Unfortunately, for some
     reason that doesn't happen anymore. I received the July 14th issue
     on July 18th and the July 7th issue on July 12th. Mondays or
     Tuesdays is pretty regular, but maybe once every 5 issues or so I
     get them on Wednesdays or Thursdays. Then maybe once every 3 or 4
     months I receive an issue one week late. Something has changed in
     the last two weeks though. They now arrive in brown envelopes
     instead of clear plastic and they are being sent from an address
     in Holland.

  2. EWA: 369 Springfield Ave, Berkeley Heights, NJ 07922, USA. Tel:
     USA (1) 800 EWA 4454 (toll free) or USA (1) 908 665-7811, Fax: USA
     (1) 908 665-7814, E-mail: eric@EWAcars.com, Compuserve: 73424,1057
     The rates are $ 239/yr first class and $ 159/yr second class. EWA 
     has been distributing Autosport in USA, Canada and Mexico since 1989. 
     See the section 23.2 for more details on EWA's service.

     [ EW (of EWA) ] The fastest delivery in the USA is our First Class
     mail service. Thursday's Autosport always gets here one day later
     on Friday and is mailed the same day. Our 1st Class subscribers
     get it Sat, Mon or Tues. I get a 'monitoring' copy by airmail
     direct from the UK and that arrives anywhere from 7 days after
     publication to 4 weeks at worst (See DJ's comments on this service
     above).

  3. Or: Autosport, PO Box 128, Pearl River, New York, 10965-0128. Tel
     USA (1) 914 735-8083. Sent by second class post.

                                      Premier               Competitor
     USA                              US $159.00            US $199.00
     Canada and Mexico:               US $196.00            US $236.00

     This is a subscription agency which has started to take Autosport
     subscriptions in mid-1994. There was another agency which was used
     in early 1994. I don't know whether you get all of the freebies,
     like the Mobil oil. Cheap admission at Silverstone will not be of
     much use !

     [ MS ] I have cancelled my subscription for Autosport through a US
     distributor that is not EWA. I received no issues between the July
     28th 1994 issue and August 23rd. The pre-British GP issue came a
     week after the post-British GP issue.

  Opinion:[ AHH ] Recommended. Published every Thursday. Has some big
  name motorsport journalists: Nigel Roebuck, Denis Jenkinson, Giorgio
  Piola, & Gordon Kirby. Looks nice and has reasonable text, although
  you don't get that much to read. F1 reports have lap charts, WRC
  reports have all the stage times for the best drivers. The Motoring
  News comes out a day earlier. [ AR ] Covers every form of motorsport.
  A little too expensive for me. [ MB ] Sometimes Autosport has a big
  picture of a second placed British driver on the cover and ignores
  the winner. [ PF ] Isn't quite as good a read as it used to be --
  it's got flashier and has contained less in-depth stuff since about
  88/89 -- but still indispensable. Concentrates on F1, Indy, BTCC,
  WRC, BRC, F3, F3000, GTCC in the international categories, but also
  covers British club motor racing and rallying strongly. Roebuck's F1
  reports and columns and Piola's technical contributions are
  excellent, and it does give results of all UK circuit races and major
  hillclimbs/sprints (Marcus Pye is superb!). Less coverage of minor
  internationals than it used to have, though in the winter the oddest
  things sometimes get a lot of space! [ RG ] IMHO, Autosport used to
  be wonderful until Bruce Jones took over as chief editor; since his
  tenure began, the headlines have become increasingly lurid to the
  point of ridiculousness [ e.g. "Damon Bares His Soul!!!" ] and the
  pro-Hill bias has gotten really blatant.

  Opinion:[ AHH ] Good coverage of F1 (with lap charts) and rallying.
  The spectator guide for the Monte Carlo rally in 1991 was excellent
  with Michelin maps and descriptions of each stage by Didier Auriol. [
  VBH ] Too much emphasis on French motorsport.

  Language:Italian
  Opinion:[ VBH ] Highly recommended. Particularly good F1 coverage,
  although there are no lap charts. Great design and use of colour,
  especially on the cover. Lots of technical details with many drawings
  by Giorgio Piola. There is a very good question and answer section.
  The fans are knowledgable and will ask if they are not. There are
  gifts and offers like a floppy disk with F1 info or free F1 season
  review videos with a "Carta Si". There is a report from the CSAI
  (Italian Motor Sport Governing Body) every week. [ PF ] Seems pretty
  good to me -- though my Italian is pretty basic I can plough through
  race reports and technical articles. It's fairly Ferrari-centric,
  obviously! Better photography than any of the British magazines I've
  seen, and more features than Autosport. [ AHH ] Looks like Autosport,
  with respected journalists like Pino Allevi and Giorgio Piola. Had
  the great taste to have a picture of me in their report of the 1989
  Belgian GP.

  Opinion:[ AHH ] Thorough technical articles with lots of
  illustrations. A bit like the now defunct Car Design & Technology.

Auto und Motor Sport
  Language:German
  Opinion:[ AHH ] Closest equivalent to Autosport in German, although
  it has more coverage of road cars. Better pictures, less text and
  older news compared to Motorsport Aktuell. Lots of DTM and F1
  coverage. [ MB ] It's not a racing magazine but does carry race
  reports for F1. The stats were good as was the writing.

  racing. It covers Bonneville, El Mirage, even Lake Gairdner in
  Australia! Quite a few photos, even a few in colour! [ BD ] This is
  is a family-run publication. The publishers name is Doc Jeffries, and
  the editor is Wendy Jeffries. Doc is an icon and I believe that most
  of the family are 200 MPH Club Life Members. They are great people to
  talk to.

  Opinion:[ AHH ] Concentrates on tuning and modification of cars for
  circuit racing, rallying or road use. The technical articles aren't
  very deep. [ PF ] Aimed more at the fast but cheap road-car
  enthusiast, and written in a fairly lighthearted tone, there are some
  interesting motorsport articles in here, but racing fans would be
  better going for the more authoritative Racecar Engineering.

  Opinion: Our online service is very new and available to anyone who
  can recieve mail from the internet, it is currently only in pilot
  form and is available for no charge. We send the e-mail from the
  track thoughout the race weekend and give results notes and quotes. [
  SS ] I am a subscriber to both the magazine and the online reports. I
  was very impressed with the online coverage this weekend (Vancouver,
  '94). They sent out a pre-race report, 3 qualifying reports, and a
  race report. The reports were in my e-mail account shortly after each
  session. I can't think of any other place (besides the track itself)
  to get in-depth info so quickly - especially qualifying reports. And
  there was more info in the reports than you would ever get from the
  TV coverage. Two thumbs up!

  Opinion:[ AHH ] Highly Recommended. Good for getting racing news
  stories first. I think the quality of the writing is better than in
  Autosport, although there are fewer colour pictures. David Tremayne's
  F1 reports are superb. Simon Arron's reports make the European F3000
  championship sound vibrant and interesting. Really ! Very thorough
  coverage of UK club racing and rallying. [ PF ] Comes out a day
  before Autosport and is useful for obtaining news quickly (probably
  the next quickest source after r.a.s.i !). Covers everything from F1
  to club rallies (particularly strong on club motorsport) and is a lot
  cheaper than Autosport. Race reports are longer and more detailed; in
  fact, there's a lot of text in a typical issue of MN!

  Opinion:[ AHH ] Recommended. First published in 1924 by Bill Boddy,
  who still contributes articles every month. There is a good mix of
  the latest in F1, IndyCars or LSR attempts and some very good
  historical articles. Few other magazines cover VSCC trials (where 19
  litre pre-WWI Mercedes pound up farm tracks). The F1 reports by David
  Tremayne sometimes aren't onto the newsstands until two months after
  the race, but they are still worth reading, often having a different
  perspective to something written on the evening of a race. [ PF ] The
  grand old man of racing magazines, a wilfully eclectic mix of news,
  reminiscence, insight and loads of classic car adverts. Not quite the
  same now that Jenks has departed and WB isn't as active as before,
  but usually has at least a couple of excellent articles a month and
  good F1 and WRC coverage. Only covers other series in outline, though
  used to be very strong on sports car racing before it fell apart (I
  hope it will be again!). Underwent a lot of design changes in the
  early 90s and often suffered poor proofreading but now seems OK
  again.

  Opinion:[ AHH ] A small newspaper which is split half and half
  between auto and motorbike racing. F1 coverage predominates in the
  auto racing, but there rallies, touring cars, and junior single
  seater formula also appear. Its a bit like a smaller version of the
  Motoring News in German (Swiss ?). Reasonable news coverage. The F1
  reports have split times and speeds through the speed traps for the
  fastest cars.

  Opinion:[ AHH ] A small format newspaper run by Chris Economaki for
  many years. I've seen one issue and I didn't find it very easy to
  read. The text looked messy, stories were split into different
  sections throughout the issue (a common grumble of mine with US
  magazines), and the text just didn't seem to flow very well. Having
  said that, its cheap and has reasonable news coverage of US and world
  motorsport. [ RG ] I used to subscribe to this but felt the coverage
  was too broad and lacked depth. [ DS ] I started reading NSSN when I
  was about 10 (30 years ago). NSSN is to racing the equivalant of the
  local sportspage for other sports. I read it cover to cover every
  week to keep abreast of whats going on. I confess to skimming the F1
  and Drag Racing coverage. I'm interested in all sorts of racing so
  this paper is good for me.

  Opinion:
   o [ AHH ] Recommended. Has the most thorough technical articles on
     F1, IndyCars, and European Touring Cars that I've seen. The
     pictures are good and you get a lot of text in the technical
     articles, as well as good pictures and cutaway drawings. There is
     a comprehensive listing of motorsport addresses. The editorial
     team includes Quentin Spurring, Carroll Smith and Paul Van
     Valkenburgh.
   o [ PF ] Quite expensive, not often found on the news-stands, but
     well worth seeking out. Requires a certain degree of technical
     literacy to fully appreciate just how good this magazine is!
     Excellent articles on all manner of racing technology
     (particularly F1/Indy/Touring Cars) and news on the industry and
     new equipment.
   o [ DW ] I wasn't greatly impressed. The magazine borders on being a
     breathless Formula 1 fanzine, with an occasional "tech" article.
   o [ BK ] I strongly disagree [ with DW ] . They are the only
     publication [ apart from the defunct Car Design Technology ] which
     has discussed the implementation of pneumaticc valve trains in
     depth (Circle Track and Smokey [ Yunnick ] would lead you to
     believe that this is all ultra secret and that nobody will talk
     about details).
     The recent article on Dunlop race tires as used in the European
     touring car series was excellent. I have been planning to
     summarize the content. It contained some very basic facts and
     rules about tires which I have not seen printed anywhere before
     but which are very important to understanding how your tires are
     behaving and why.
     The coverage of Arthur Mallock's solid axle lateral location
     device and his theories on anti-squat and roll steer were also
     very interesting.
     Carroll Smith's summary of the available differential technology
     has been the only detailed summary I have seen to date (including
     contacts for the companies that produce these differentials). His
     shock article was also pretty good.
     The information on Scott Sharp's 1993 SCCA Trans Am car was also
     excellent. Reading that their front roll center is 1" below the
     ground was quite interesting to me and certainly casts some doubt
     on the credibility of those who categorically state that a front
     roll center should never be below ground. Where else can I find
     the track width of a front running Trans Am car?
     Van Valkenberg's alternatives to active suspension were also
     interesting to me. Some of that is definitely doable by the
     motivated racer/fabricator.
     The recent coverage of data acquisition was by far and away the
     most comprehensive I have seen. It was not some high brow F1
     coverage. It focused on what to look for in a low end system, what
     inputs you really need when starting out, etc.
     I could go on, but those are the articles that immediately come to
     mind. When you say breathless F1 fanzine, I think you may be
     referring to "Racer" ;-)

   o Platinum: same as above except newsletter is faxed Can $ 149.00
  Opinion: [ JC ] I subscribed to the Gold service which was offered at
  the same price as the Silver. The promised preseason issue came after
  the Brazilian race and I phoned up to ask about it. Generally nobody
  answers the phone or returns calls left on the machine. I can't vouch
  for the hotline because my secret code doesn't work for it and nobody
  will return my calls. I suppose that it would be nice to get the
  newsletters for the British and German Grands Prix but I haven't yet.
  I live a 1 hour drive from Toronto so presume Canada Post can get it
  here in less than a month. The newsletters typically come 2 - 3 weeks
  after the race. By the I have found out all I want to know from
  r.a.s, On Track, and Performance Racing News. Advertised lap charts
  and Indy Results are Not included.
  The Talking F1 Racing report includes a Race summary, Truth Rumours,
  Qualifying and Warmup Summary, and times and positions from
  qualifying and the race. Technical glitches abound ie pages upside
  down, articles/paragraphs that end abruptly mid-sentence. A favourite
  feature is some DTP feature that allows curved margins. More time
  should be spent on proof-reading! I would heartily recommend this
  service to animal abusers and other people that I don't like. I will
  not be using it next year.

  Misc:[ RW ] If you want to learn more about how cars go together,
  the Pegasus catalog may be entertaining and instructive, although
  they are a list price outfit -- if you want to buy something, there
  are alternative sources like Dragonslayer, Racer Wholesale, and
  Halo/Bell Motorsports that are usually enough cheaper to make
  shopping around worthwhile. There are a few items that you can only
  reasonably obtain from Pegasus, though. The catalog is free, though,
  so just looking doesn't cost much. [ DM ] It has been my experience,
  that the prices in the catalog are not always what they are selling
  stuff for. Call them to find out the real price. Then if they still
  have an outrageous price, complain. Works for me.
