We have three F1 titles on the shelves now. One is the regular title and two special editions. This seems overkills to me. We have a certain amount of space allocated to racing titles and we have had to lose one title early to accommodate one of the special editions.
Maybe I am sensitive about this because I am far from a fan of formula 1 racing – I think it’s a waste of money and Victoria would be better off without the drain on our public purse. I don’t see any economic benefit other than corporate types getting suppliers to pay for a day of noise and booze.
On the magazines, maybe they will sell. I suspect that the F1 brand is over represented and that the special editions pull focus from the magazine itself.
