Formula 1 Fans get a new e-zine
Dubbed "the world's fastest Formula 1 magazine" by its publisher, auto racing's newest publication, Grand Prix +, aims to combine the visual sophistication of a print magazine with the speed of an online news source, with an issue delivered to your email in-box by 9 a.m. (UK time) the day after each Grand Prix.
The new venture by Morienval Press, a sister company of GrandPrix.com, Grand Prix + combines the in-depth race reporting of grandprix.com with feature articles and news about the sport, as well as the stunning photography of Paul-Henri Cahier. The Spanish Grand Prix issue is available for free download here.
A quick review of the Barcelona edition suggests that the Grand Prix + team still has a few bugs to work out, and the design and typography are a bit uneven, but Cahier's photography from the Barcelona race weekend more than makes up for the shortcomings. Another free issue is promised after the Monaco GP, before the e-zine shifts into profit making mode, with an annual subscription of £19.99 or a per-issue price of £1.99.

I like autoblog, too. I think the best online magazine is http://www.classicyachtmag.com. Free, or course.

Maybe I am old.
I like the Grand Prix + concept, but the on-line (on-screen) magazine concept lacks enough resolution for me to read comfortably. Each week I print out the F1 articles I want to read from Autosport.com. Printing from Grand Prix + looks to be cost prohibitive (but they would be beautiful to look at).
