Jeff Whitten tells the story of Australian Rallysport News
Back in early-1989, Jeff Whitten had an idea. Australia had just secured a round of the World Rally Championship, but there was no publication dedicated to rallying in Australia.
Sick of trying to find rally news in the circuit racing-rich weekly and monthly motorsport magazines, he set out to start his own publication.
Together with his son, Peter, things quickly snowballed and by late August 1989, the first issue of Australian Rallysport News had hit the newsstands.
Inaugural columnists included rally legends Greg Carr and Geoff Portman, and before long, the publication – referred to as ‘ARN’ by fans – had taken hold.
In this special edition of our DustTrails Podcast, Jeff Whitten brings us some recollections on those early years and what it took to get a monthly newspaper from an idea to a reality.
