Publisher’s Note WORKING TOGETHER TO A BETTER COMMON GOAL

Speedcafe and SupercarXtra join forces

elcome to SupercarXtra’s champion drivers’ edition. We hope you enjoy the features in the following pages, which are SupercarXtra’s stories on some of the best drivers ever to race in Supercars and the Australian Touring Car Championship.

Eagle-eyed readers will have noticed the “Powered by Speedcafe” logo on the front cover of this issue. From this edition, SupercarXtra has joined forces with Speedcafe. com to create a new joint venture.

The new arrangement will allow readers to subscribe to their favourite quarterly magazine directly from the most widely read motorsport

Wwebsite in the nation.

The partnership will also mean that SupercarXtra will have access to a much larger pool of writers and photographers, meaning a better publication for its loyal readers.

It’s good news as well for our valued advertisers and commercial partners, who will now enjoy a larger reach.

There will also be a number of other new and exciting initiatives that will be unveiled in the near future.

Rest assured that your favourite magazine will continue to be full of entertaining articles and awesome photography from the past and the present. We also plan to continue our extremely popular Bathurst book series.

“I’m really quite excited by this joint venture,” said SupercarXtra publisher, Allan Edwards.

“This will give us the reach to grow the publication which in turn will avail us with the resources to take the magazine to the next level.

“I’d really like to thank the owners of Speedcafe.com – who clearly believe that print publications are still an important part of the overall media landscape – for their belief in, and support of, the SupercarXtra product.

“As we head towards our quarter of a century anniversary, our small but loyal SupercarXtra team can’t wait to start working with the crew at Speedcafe.com to make this publication even better than it has been over the past 23 years.”
