New track/race magazine offering free subscriptions
http://www.trackdriver.com/
Click and enter your details. It looks like subscriptions are free. Worth a shot as the magazine could be pretty good - the spirit of Cars and Car Conversions and Track & Race Car.

I presume it's an online thing, so no one would pay for it anyway. Hence why it's 'free'.

I would assume that it is the case that by getting a guaranteed 25k readers they are hoping to get advertising to cover their costs? Or its a scam!

I edited my reply as I realised it must be online. No magazine could be profitable by giving away 25K copies.

I thought it must be something like that too, because the printing costs, distribution etc would cost mile more than it would be worth the bother for.

Fair points. It is a print magazine based on a free subscription model and funded by ad sales. Don't think it'll get 25k subscribers - they're aiming for 10,000.

Blimey, very brave. Wish them luck but can't see how it can make any money. In a normal magazine the sales count for roughly 50% of the income. When staff, paper, production costs, repro, printing and distribution are taken out there will be very little left.

I used to subscribed to this magazine for a couple of years about 5 - 6 yrs ago and it was quite good. It is the same company/organisation that produce the Circuit Guide Folders.

Just recieved my free Issue 1 of Track Driver (incorporating Circuit Driver) magazine.
Good looking articles:
Classic Ford group test
Heat management
plus much more all specifically focused around Trackday drivers.
Nice on Char1ie for posting this thread
