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:[ KFW ] The official publication of the International Kart
Federation. I've never seen anything International in this magazine.
Mostly covers minutes of the Board of Directors meetings, IKF races
and schedules. The December Issue is the rule book for the following
year.

55, Europe/Eire (air) GBP 60, Australasia (air) GBP 110, All other
countries (air) GBP 80. GBP 1.50 extra for payment not in pounds
sterling.
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!

Heights, NJ 07922, tel (908) 665 7811, fax (908) 665 7814.
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.

98.40.
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.
