Just reading about the demise of Australian Motorsport News so thought I should register and do my first post.
I bought it from when it started and took out a subscription when it had digital edition. Sub ran out with Dec 2013 edtion and I did not renew.
Over last two years it was getting worse and worse. I'd open it and a few seconds later have it finished as nothing to read, certainly no news.
The thing I did want to mention is their DECEPTIVE CONDUCT with page numbering. THe last page is numbered 98, but there are NOT 98 pages.
Pages 43 to 58 inclusive are missing, ie 16 pages. Did they think we were fools?
Also title is Australian Motorsport News but it was hardly that.
From some quick calcs on December, only 26% was on Australian circuit news.
Of those mere 22 pages, some 9 were on an interview with Courtney.
31% of mag was ads, and 22% was International stories.
People will vote with their feet, and these guys didn't produce what people obviously want. So I don't feel any pity for them.
It is not completely due to digital age, just not giving people what they want to read. One wishes for the good old days of Racing Car News.
