Through Acquisition, Motorsport.com Launches Digital Platform in Ukraine

With the announcement, Motorsport.com – UKRAINE becomes the Company’s 21st edition of the most-read digital motorsports platform in the world.

“Expanding our editorial footprint across Eastern Europe further strengthens Motorsport.com’s position as the go-to source for auto racing in the region,” said Motorsport.com Editor in Chief, Charles Bradley. “Ukrainians will now be offered the most comprehensive motorsports and automotive-related content on the web.”

The decision furthers the Company’s strategy of splitting its content into autonomous multiple language-based platforms, which will geo-target and tailor its comprehensive motorsports coverage by region.

“With a population of nearly 45 million, Ukraine is an important market with a unique and dynamic motorsports audience. Ukrainian race fans want to receive the highest content about F1, MotoGP, World Endurance Championship, World Rally Championship and more. Motorsport.com is the clear choice in providing the comprehensive auto racing coverage our country covets,” said Roman Galimon, editor of F1-Ukraine.com.ua.

The new Ukrainian-language region is now available online.

“Expanding our global platform into the Ukraine highlights our advance in-house technology capabilities in providing our worldwide customers high-quality motorsports editorial content in native tongue,” said Oleg Safronov, CTO, Motorsport.com. “Led by our talented in-house engineers and programmers, we are able to create and distribute content in regions that our competitors can only dream about.”
