Supercars on Tour
www.supercarsontour.co.uk
It is with great pleasure that we
welcome readers and drivers past,
present and future to the inaugural
issue of Supercars on Tour’s
own magazine.
This publication is the perfect
opportunity for us to share the
experience of the wonderful tours
and events we organise for drivers
and lovers of the world’s most
beautiful and powerful cars. We have, over the past couple of
years, built up some amazing memories of tours that we are
pleased to say have given enormous pleasure to our
Supercars owners and drivers.
We hope that, as well as appealing to those who will be
able to regard this magazine as a souvenir of happy times
past, it will be of interest to future drivers and participants in
Supercars on Tour’s magical events. Events that take place
invariably in circumstances of unparalleled luxury and allow
fascinating new friendships to flourish and continue with
020 030
shared reminiscences beyond the rallies themselves.
Within these pages are articles covering diverse aspects
from the lives and interests of some of our drivers to
enlightening behind-the-scenes glimpses of what it takes
to create such unforgettable occasions and, of course,
our exciting plans for the following season’s driving events.
As it’s our first issue we warmly invite comments and
suggestions and keenly look forward to your feedback so that
we can go on to create even more sumptuous and enticing
magazines in future.
Happy driving and we hope to see you in 2008.
