History and target group
Introduced in 1963 by Rico Steinemann , Arthur Blank and René Schöni as the monthly powerslide magazine , the publication changed its name to powerslide - Motorsport aktuell - on June 11, 1975 after twelve years of existence . Under the founding fathers Dieter Stappert and Hans Hug, it became the weekly newspaper , initially on Wednesdays and later (up to issue 1–3 / 2017) on Tuesdays, from then on it also covered motorcycling , and later merged with other magazines such as the - Despite its somewhat confusing name - the German magazine Rennsportwoche only appears every 14 days . Not only media experts are amazed again and again that this weekly print medium , which is not even a so-called glossy product, can still assert itself in today's fast-paced world of the Internet and a kind of cult status among racing fans between Formula 1 and motocross everywhere could defend the years. But that doesn’t change the fact that here too the circulation figures, which were more than 100,000 copies in the heyday, have been declining for years. In 2015 the editorial office moved to Stuttgart, and the trademark rights were also transferred to Motor Presse Stuttgart in 2015. Motor Presse (Schweiz) AG, to which the MSa had previously belonged, has now been liquidated .
