The Motor Racing Legends app streamlines the historic motorsport experience. Enter races, manage entries and stay abreast of race weekend updates in one place. The app is also the perfect portal to the Motor Racing Legends Club, home to discounts on entry fees, supplier exclusives and members-only test days. Instead of filling dozens of entry forms across a season, entrants need only add their details once. With their car or cars populated in the garage and their personal information securely in the app's vault, multiple events can be entered with a few taps. Not only does this reduce the time and complexity of the entry process, it will provide an up-to-date and accurate resource for consistency across entry lists, written copy and race day commentary. We look forward to welcoming you to a century of motorsport with Motor Racing Legends.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MRL at none against Autosport's 4. MRL also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
