BBC Magazines is launching a car magazine for children, which it says is the first of its kind.
BBC Top Gear Turbo is aimed at boys aged eight to 12, and the May 23 launch date has been set to coincide with both school half-term and the new series of the TV programme.
It is being produced in association with Scalextric and will initially be a one-shot with a view to becoming a regular title. The publisher recommends siting BBC Top Gear Turbo alongside regular car magazines. The cover price is £1.95 and distribution is by Frontline.
