The site, which attracts 900,000 unique users and more than 28 million page impressions, hosts forums, news and features for car models from the likes of Porsche, Lotus, Aston Martin and TVR.
Website ranking company Hitwise crowned the site the most popular recreation automotive site in the UK between July and September last year.
Dave Edmonston, who set up the site eight years ago, will continue to oversee the running of the site from Haymarket’s offices.
