Kelsey acquires Motorsport News

Kelsey Media has acquired the weekly newspaper, Motorsport News, from Motorsport Network, owners of Autosport, F1 Racing magazine and Motorsport.com.

Kelsey Media has offices in Peterborough and Kent and produces over 70 regular frequency publications – including four weekly products – plus bookazines, supplements, websites and live action events.

With its links to motoring, both classic and performance, plus its own live action events at venues such as Silverstone, Donington and Mallory Park, Kelsey Media says it is the perfect home for Motorsport News.

Kelsey Media’s Chief Operating Officer, Phil Weeden, commented: “We’re thrilled to have acquired Motorsport News. This is a fabulous product, representing the very heart of grass roots motorsport. With our strong connections to the world of motoring and a passion for all forms of motorsport, we’re looking forward to injecting fresh energy and enthusiasm into Motorsport News.”

James Allen, Motorsport Network President added: “Kelsey Media is the right home for this long standing enthusiast’s title that will see it surviving into a new decade. Our focus is very clear; digital first with a slimmed down portfolio of print titles, to reflect our customer’s needs.”
