“He will be a great asset to our American operation, and will take our US open-wheel coverage to even greater heights to complement the expert talents we already boast on our NASCAR reporting team.”

Malsher joins Motorsport.com at a pivotal time in the company’s growth where the US market includes its largest audience by country, with year-over-year audience representing over 35 percent of all worldwide traffic figures.

The fastest-growing motorsports website in the world, Motorsport.com is a technically advanced digital distribution platform, which provides worldwide, multimedia coverage resulting in over 180 countries this year. 

“Motorsport.com has proved itself as the new premier destination for motorsports news content,” Malsher said. “It is very clear the editorial powerhouse that they have established under Charles Bradley’s stewardship, and I’m very humbled to lead their very talented team of journalists in providing the quality of content expected by readers in the US.”
