As Tim said sometimes difficult to find, unless you go into town.
I didn't notice the speeling misstakes, but I am special
Just noticed this from the website:
"It is with immense regret that I have to announce that the publishing of Track & Race Cars Magazine (TRC) has been suspended from the
November 2009 edition. Over the last six months we have, as a publication, struggled our way through with a limited budget but unfortunately the
magazine has succumbed to a delayed backlash of the global recession..."
Shame
Thats a shame. Good read.

Very sad - but, distribution was very poor; very difficult to get hold of.
My greatest problem with the magazine was the quality of writing/editing.
Every issue I bought I felt like going through it with a red pen, ringing all the spelling and grammar mistakes.

A shame. They championed the 7 cause quite a few times.

I had a subscription as the only place I could find it locally was at WH Smith in Manchester Airport. I had a few problems with missing the odd copy which was more down to the distributors than the mag itself. As a result, I have been in touch with Keith Wood (editor) quite a lot (who, incidentally, owns a Tiger) and he is a thoroughly nice, helpful bloke and it is a shame to see the mag go under (spelling mistakes and all - personally, I just thought that this just added to the charm of obviously being written by fellow petrolheads). Keith should now have started a "proper" job working for Stand 21 down at Brands.

Must just be me then that prefers to read a piece about something interesting that has a few typos and the occasional grammatical error rather than a well written piece about something not particularly interesting that has appeared in three previous issues already that year (as per the kit car press).
Interesting that PPC mag has, as an independent, seemingly weathered the storm.........
