Motorsport Illustrated News is a weekly print & online racing magazine covering F1, NASCAR, IndyCar, Grand Am, ALMS, Rally & others.
Motorsport Illustrated News is a New Weekly Auto Racing Magazine
News coverage will feature NASCAR, Formula 1, IndyCar, Grand Am, American Le Mans, ARCA and Rally. Plus we will cover GP2, GP3, 24 Hours of Le Mans, local racing, a variety of support series and other special events. In-depth articles on drivers, teams and events will highlight each issue.
Motorsport Journalists, Photography and Graphics
The publication will utilize premier motorsport journalists, superb photography, stunning graphics and design. Our goal is to create a magazine that will become a must-read for race fans. The stories and photos from each race weekend will keep the race fan informed and entertained.
Complete Auto Racing Coverage Delivered to You Each Week
The magazine will be available in print and in a digital format. We will create 45 issues per year, weekly from February through November (the primary racing season) along with one issue each in January and December.
Motorsport Illustrated News will be available to race fans by subscription in a print version mailed each week, and in a digital version available on most PCs, phones and tablets. Print subscribers will also have access to the online version, or one can subscribe to the online only version.
The premier issue will be December 2012 with the second issue in January 2013 and then weekly beginning in February 2013. The issue date will be Wednesday of each week. The publication will be completed on Tuesdays with the online version being available that same day. The print version will reach the USPS distribution center near Charlotte, NC on Tuesday nights and mailed First Class to provide the quickest delivery. Actual mail delivery time will be dependent on your location and the delivery ability of the USPS.
The magazine will be printed on high bright 35# paper creating a high quality and affordable publication.
The digital version will be available on various platforms from PC's, tablets and various smart phones. This will continually evolve with technology.
