READER PROFILE
They are the power brokers of international motor racing,
from Team Principals and driver managers to sponsorship
heads and broadcaster CEOs. They are wealthy jet-setters,
leading entrepreneurs and executives who drive stylish
cars, own yachts and travel by private jets.
They know the value of luxury and wield significant spend-
ing power in their personal and professional lives.
Motorsport’s opinion leaders are highly successful execu-
tives who hold senior positions and earn higher incomes
than most readers of alternative business and current af-
fairs publications.
The global readership constitutes one of the best target
audiences for luxury goods and services advertisers. Own-
ing the best in fashion, arts, personal accessories, auto-
mobiles and property is a necessity for them. Readers also
form one of the most attractive audiences for travel adver-
tisers, as they regularly travel to destinations around the
world for both business and pleasure.
