So... Edd Straw takes part in the 2CV 24 hour race. I do hope he enjoyed it, but evidently not enough to merit more than the standard couple of paragraphs of x won, y did this, and z did the other. And we wonder why the only 24 hour race in this country is under threat.

2 years on the run now I've thoroughly enjoyed myself at Snetterton and eagerly turned the pages of MN and Autosport in anticipation of the well-deserved glowing 2 page picture and writeup extravaganza, and 2 years I've shut the magazine feeling cheated.

Interesting, from my understanding of that she is offering you a perminant free subscription to the site as long as you buy the magazine.

I've been buying Autosport for the last 17 years from my local newsagents because that way I'm helping local businesses plus I don't have the lump sum cash to buy a subscription.

Since this online fiasco started I've been wondering whether to continue or not. Think I'll drop Ms Goddard a line and see if she offers me a free sub too!

Maisie,

We're carrying a feature on Edd's exploits in the 2CV 24 Hours next week.

Regards,

am I alone in thinking it is fine to pay - if Autosport put the whole magazine free on teh web people would stoip buying it!
however what would be really interesting would be if back copies (particularily from 60's) would be available online for reference/history on cars. Sorry if these points have been covered havent got time to trawl through 14 pages!
when I flicked through my latest copy I didnt see any report on Monthlery apart from a passing reference in the club news

Simon,

The idea is that as the website archive develops over the coming months, more and more of that type of content will become available. Bear in mind that precious little of it is stored electronically and we've got various bodies inputing old articles virtually every day.

That, to be honest, is the crux of the PPV website. It has to develop as a resource that gives access to Autosport's history, because not many other sites etc. can offer that. And we're involving users, because we welcome suggestions for 'milestones' or notable race reports etc.

John

as a collector/historic racer this type of archive has great value. Maybe another service could be where we can commission you to trawl through to find any reference to a particuular car, especially useful when trying to validate history with the dreaded gold FIA papers coming up.
Personally I buy the magazine each week rather than viewing online but it seemed unreasonable to try and get it free on the web having shelled up at my local newsagent!
So was I right that the last ever Monthlery meeting did not get a full report in the latest issue
