Racer Media & Marketing, Inc, the independent general-interest motorsports publisher, has acquired Vintage Motorsport, the publication covering the historic and vintage motor racing scene.

The acquisition includes the print magazine title known as The Journal of Motor Racing History along with digital and online assets. D. Randy Riggs will remain on board as the magazine’s editor-in-chief.

Vintage Motorsport joins RACER magazine, RACER.com, and SportsCar, the official magazine of the Sports Car Club of America as titles published by Racer Media & Marketing, Inc (RM&M).

RM&M will begin publishing Vintage Motorsport with the September/October 2019 issue on sale August 15.

“We are very excited to bring Vintage Motorsport under the RM&M banner,” said Paul Pfanner, co-founder, president and CEO. “It is the most respected title covering historic motor racing—and racing history more broadly—in North America. As the new stewards of the brand, we will proudly carry the standard into the future while using the cross-platform promotional power of the RACER brand to expand the base of Vintage Motorsport’s audience.”

“This is the closest thing to a perfect fit you’ll find in publishing, as Vintage Motorsport will expand the footprint of RM&M to include its authoritative and award-winning content, and RACER’s expertise, resources and proficiency in both print and digital content delivery will ensure Vintage Motorsport’s continued success and expansion. Most notably, D. Randy Riggs will continue at the editorial helm of Vintage Motorsport, and as he has proven for more than two decades, he is decidedly up to the task,” Outgoing Vintage Motorsport Publisher/CEO Michael Silverman said.

RM&M has been publishing motorsports content since 1979.
