Would you buy a North American Rally magazine
 
If it existed, would you be willing to buy/subscribe to a Rally Racing Magazine that had coverage of North American and some World and European rallying? This magazine would be heavily slanted towards spectacular photography of the events and design as well as behind the scenes stories and interveiws
What other type things would you like to see in such a magazine?

I will be out of the country for a few weeks but I would like to hear what you think

I am a fan of rallying, but if it is affordable, like around $12 a year, then yes. WRC is rarely covered by ESPN, and if they barely cover it, I know that no one else would. Though this could be big here in New England. SCCA does much rallying here, and I bet there are many local clubs do as well. That is what I would include, a lot of local regional action and involvment.

Thanks,
Actually WRC is covered on TV by Speed channel so it would not be on ESPN, on New Years day there will be the whole season of WRC all day on Speed.
Rallying happens all over the US, Canada and Mexico and the popularity is growing fast, I am trying to get a feel for potential of a Rally magazine among people outside of the rally community, so please kee the comments coming
Thanks

I said I would be, but really it would depend on the price...

I love rally racing, but sadly I'll never get to drive like that. I'm too pussy to be driving any car I own around roads like that. It looks like so much fun.

To get back on topic, I don't think I'd get the magazine just because it would be nothing but a tease for me. It looks like so much fun, and I can't play :(

Why not go to a school? There are plenty of driving schools, and I do not mean Skip Barber, that will teach you how to drive like the pros, left-foot-braking, sliding, and all that...

I'd love to, but:

A - They're expensive
B - Don't have the time
C - Not very local to here
D - I'd never get to use it. Like I said, I'll never get a chance to go flying down dirtroads without a care in the world of breaking something, or smashing my car up. Unless I win the lottery.
E - I'd rather spend my time and money on a more 'useful' driving school, one that would give me a better start on road driving/auto x, etc.

Rally is awesome, but I'll probably never get the chance to do it.

Well, one already exists....



So sign your life away boys....

I have never heard of it and nobody I have talked to have either, does it still exist?

I would vote yes if the poll was working ... :D
North American rallying really needs to work on its marketing and promotions to get better.
