Motorsport News, the leading weekly motorsport newspaper, is to expand its coverage by
including a monthly supplement dedicated to all branches of the sport in Ireland.
The first instalment of the monthly supplement will appear in this week’s issue (June 25) and has
eight pages of extra Irish coverage in a special insert.
The supplement reveals the unique way that Ireland will launch the World Rally Championship one
week before Rally Ireland next January. In racing, Colin Turkington reveals why he’s confident he
can win this year’s British Touring Car Championship.
Other items covered this month include a detailed examination of head and neck safety devices,
which are set to become compulsory in Irish rallying from next year.
Kerryman Sean Moriarty, an MN staff member and regular rally co-driver, has been appointed
editor of the new supplement.
He said: “Motorsport News always enjoyed a loyal following in Ireland and this is a way of
repaying that loyalty. The new monthly insert is designed to complement our existing coverage
of Irish motorsport. We will continue weekly reports and news from Irish events, but the extra
pages will allow us to feature more people, more events, more clubs – and even more motorsport
excitement.”
The special edition will include a comprehensive events guide and dedicated Irish television
listings. The first issue will accompany this week’s issue, dated June 25.
