SPOT ON GUYS...
being in the motorsports scene and knowing how much sport actually does take place, its ridiculous how little actually makes it into the magazines and newspapers. This is not due to lack of proper communication by the organisers mind you. All organisers pay for the press to attend their events, put them up in good hotels, make sure they hav enough booze (most important) and basically treat then like kings. But what comes out of that is half a page and a picture if you are lucky. Now while this may be acceptable for a newspaper, you would think that an Auto Magazine, who's JOB it is to cover these events, would show a little more interest. HAA. fat chance.
If you don't pay for their travel and stay etc....they won't show up. Simple as all that. And then we read nice columns in the mags about how motorsports in India lacks sponsors, money, and no companies come forward with sponsorship due to lack of organisation etc etc...gets my blood boiling when I read that, because I know that 95% of the ppl who read these mags trust what the writer is saying is true. I know I did before I got more knowledgeable.
i have it on good record from inside a well know auto mag that they can't afford to piss off a certain large oil and car company or they would lose their advertising contract with them. Hence, you won't find a bad word about their products anywhere.
Values??ethics?? sorry, but they really don't exist anymore. Wake up and smell the ****!
