I find that it does not cover anything practical, so I stopped getting it.

I've got about 4 issues that I'm wading through and some of it is very in depth but other aspects are very useful if you are looking fo
something more specific. I gave up buying EVO so I'd rather spend the money on something that has a bit of substance rather than Chris Harris
comparing every car he drives to a Porsche 911.

Its a good mag but as others have said it is a technical mag giving nice views on designs of F1, LM prototypes etc.
It has good sections on datanalysis techniques etc.
It's kind of the opposite of a locostbuilders magazine  (nearest to that is PPC)

It's a great mag, and comes in phases of interest depending on what I want to do technically. Every now and again, you get an article that
really makes you think wow, or shows you a smart way of doing something - pictures of chassis are always enlightening to see if you're doing it
right.
the articles are often in-depth and we get a view from across the pond as well.
Practical classics, it isn't.
