My brother is a subscriber, so I tend to read his secondhand copy.
My primary interest is of the club racing section at the back, and for a while in a minor capacity, was a freelance photographer for them.
Several years ago there was a reduction in coverage of UK club motorsport - previously they had a journalist and a photographer at all the circuit events and some hillclimbs/sprints. That coverage was reduced considerably, and its been reduced again with a good number of race meetings being ignored entirely.
The amount of space given to UK club news has also diminished quite a lot in recent times and the ratio of adverts to articles has increased in favour of adverts.
So, compared to a few seasons ago, its a fraction of its former self, and even the paper feels cheaper.
Motorsport magazine seems to be holding its own, and that's a monthly.
