Depth - what form of motorsport is there that we don't cover that deserves our attention?
Andy,
Can I suggest UK national motorsport is lacking in coverage, Autosport is after all a UK publication, but the coverage and reports from the national scene is very poor, I would guess that a large percentage of the people who attend a race meeting on a Sunday will buy the following Thursday's Autosport to read about the meeting they went to, or at least they would if they thought there would be more than a couple of lines per race.
While F1 is the biggest series around, I do think there is too much F1 in the magazine at times, to the point where some articles really do read as F1 space fillers, and it is this that is disappointing to readers, we do enjoy the sport and are knowledgeable about it but don't enjoy reading articles that are at the level of childrens TV.
I purchased my 1st copy of Autosport in 1985 (age 14) and became a regular buyer in '86 but in recent years I've only bought editions which had something I really wanted to see (The McRae edition being the most recent, and TBH I was disappointed in that and the magazine as a whole).
