Rally Sport News

I do regret losing such publications as Motoring News and Cars and Car Conversions who were geared up for clubman reading: in-depth reports of events, background details of organisers, competitors and marshals’ efforts, history of local and national events and stories, humorous and otherwise, from behind the scenes. 

These days, on paper, we have page after page of personal profiles and on-screen footage of just the top 6 contenders in the British Rally Championship. No wonder subscribers amongst the clubman fraternity are disappearing.

But there is a welcome online publication for the clubman, Rally Sport News, and even better at no cost! 

All you need to do is select Bob Irvine on Facebook (found otherwise under Pond’s Tache), where he asks you to request him, as Editor, to send you the latest copy of Rally Sport News on Messenger.  Within 24 hours he acknowledges and confirms he’s responded and sent it!

November’s edition consisted of no less than 62 pages covering event reports, comment, news and discussion. It covers the lot from the novice to the international and is very readable. Although advertisers account for the cost of the magazine, they don’t dominate it. 

So Mr Clubman we have the answer to missing those evenings reading a good catch up and having something more to chat about.

Go on – try it. It’s as easy and satisfying as I suggest.
