RoyalAuto is delivered to almost two thirds of households in Victoria 11 times a year and is read by 52 per cent of all adults in Victoria. It is the only monthly auto club magazine in Australia. Since February 1999 when the magazine was relaunched by the RACV Publications department, readership has lifted by 45 per cent. Find out more about Royal Auto
