Opinion: [ JC ] I subscribed to the Gold service which was offered at
the same price as the Silver. The promised preseason issue came after
the Brazilian race and I phoned up to ask about it. Generally nobody
answers the phone or returns calls left on the machine. I can't vouch
for the hotline because my secret code doesn't work for it and nobody
will return my calls. I suppose that it would be nice to get the
newsletters for the British and German Grands Prix but I haven't yet.
I live a 1 hour drive from Toronto so presume Canada Post can get it
here in less than a month. The newsletters typically come 2 - 3 weeks
after the race. By the I have found out all I want to know from
r.a.s, On Track, and Performance Racing News. Advertised lap charts
and Indy Results are Not included.
The Talking F1 Racing report includes a Race summary, Truth Rumours,
Qualifying and Warmup Summary, and times and positions from
qualifying and the race. Technical glitches abound ie pages upside
down, articles/paragraphs that end abruptly mid-sentence. A favourite
feature is some DTP feature that allows curved margins. More time
should be spent on proof-reading! I would heartily recommend this
service to animal abusers and other people that I don't like. I will
not be using it next year.

Opinion:[ AHH ] Small format newspaper which concentrates on NASCAR.
Good text but there aren't that many nice pictures. [ TJ ] The main
reason why I subscribe is for the great classified section and a lot
of insider goop, although it arrives late most of the time. [ RG1 ] I
used to subscribe to this but got tired of the mail delivering it
late.
