The White Knight 9,039 Posted March 30, 2013 Just received my Copy this morning. Obviously I haven't read it yet but it IS a beautifully produced Magazine. I am so impressed that, as I only ordered the first Issue for a trial - I intend to sign up for the rest of the year - and that is after only looking through the Magazine. I will Post later on what I think of the Content/Journalism - BUT - on the face of it, 'Inside Speedway' is off to a terrific start. Looking at it - this Magazine is not, in my opinion, a rival to 'Speedway Star' it will complement it. If I may draw a comparison 'Inside Speedway' reminds me a little of the old 'Speedway Express'. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Davis 156 Posted March 31, 2013 Not had chance to really read it yet, but I agree with TWK. The design work is very nice, graphics good, layout good. Very modern and upto date, certainly doesnt make Speedway look like a geeky sport 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trees 2,814 Posted March 31, 2013 Inside Speedway was certainly available at Lynn so bought one in a plastic bag (attention to detail ) .......... impressed so far, well done Marc Gent! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skodaman 192 Posted March 31, 2013 Not impressed. Take away the season review which was covered in more detail in the Star and you have very little. How ae they going to fill subsequent issues? This issue has four more pages than the current Star but the Star has much more text due to the smaller font size and lack of white space. I have ordered one years issues and so I will make final judgement after I have recieved all of them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brandonmole 85 Posted April 3, 2013 So is Inside Speedway any good? It seems to have gone awfully quiet on the subject. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boobs 140 Posted April 4, 2013 Inside Speedway was certainly available at Lynn so bought one in a plastic bag (attention to detail ) .......... impressed so far, well done Marc Gent! The plastic bag is designed to prevent people leafing through the magazine -- requiring them to puchase it "sight unseen"! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brandonmole 85 Posted April 4, 2013 White Knight - please can you elaborate. Why is it "very good"? How does it differ from Speedway Star? What are its pros - and what are its cons? Not seen a copy yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leicester Hunter 381 Posted April 4, 2013 I think you should subscribe - I haven't seen it on sale anywhere either. Hope this helps. It was on sale at Perry Barr last night. Hadn't got any spare cash last night - will give it a try next week, if there's any left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheReturn 1,724 Posted April 20, 2013 Inside Speedway Magazine faces a tough task to avoid what has happened to other speedway magazines over the years which have sought vainly to usurp the Star. Won't be helped when Pearson keeps giving free plugs for the Speedway Star in the TV coverage. Perhaps did not matter when there was no rival for the Star, but if Inside Magazine becomes a real rival then it will matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
