Do many here subscribe to GP+? What do you think of it?

I'm tempted by it as I enjoy Joe Saward's blog for the most part even though he does come across as a stroppy git at times and the quality of the writing sometimes leaves a bit to be desired. Just wondering what the magazine is like. I'm surprised that he doesn't offer an issue as a sample so people know what they're getting.

He did at the end of last year IIRC.

It's good. Not as crisp as Autosport who have 3 days to refine, but much more timely and in my view, richer content, and just about F1.

Worth £30.

I subscribed last year but decided not to this year. It's cheap enough but too many 'arty' photos taking up half the pages. It is produced very quickly (and it shows) because there are usually a few typos. If I've just watched a GP on the telly I'm not in that much of a hurry to read about it again. I decided I prefer paper magazines as I can look through the adverts, read articles on other aspects of motorsport and so on.

I like it, and subscribed to it last year for the first time. For £1.50 per GP it's great value, though like one of the previous posters I feel there's a bit too much in the way of photography and way too much in the way of typos.

But it's available right after the race, the commentary has depth and quality, and it has no adverts. And if I'm going to give money to someone, I'd rather it was to someone who's unashamedly opposed to Bernie's crackpot ideas and isn't scared to say so.

There was a time when i would have subscribed, I subscribed to BernieVision back in the day, but the way F1 is these days I don't have the interest I once did.

This will be my 2nd year with GP+. The typos grate a bit (think Grauniad) but the content is excellent. Well worth it IMO.
