Autosport

Autosport - Is a weekly magazine on motor racing. It's a informative read about the going's on in the world of motor sport but also you can catch up on all the weekly results. At times the pages do not interest you as you have no idea who they are. It can be good to know who are the rising stars coming through the ranks. Like one person said on his review you can see most of the news on the web and when you read the magazine now, it's not like you didn't know that. For me the good thing still about a magazine is I don't have to browse all the different websites to find my news, i still prefer reading a magazine where I can get my information quickly.

If you are a self-confessed petrol-head, then the weekly Autosport magazine is the one for you. I have been reading it for nearly ten years, and wouldn’t even consider anything else. It has the whole package; latest news and gossip, in-depth interviews, special features, and race reports from around the globe. In fact, they cover all aspects of racing, from Formula 1 to club rallying, American stock cars to European Drag racing, and at tracks from Indianapolis to Castle Combe. You would be very hard pressed to find a discipline that isn’t covered. With a vastly experienced writing team, the features are always interesting, and ...  Read the complete review

>Driver’s Briefing Autosport is perhaps the world’s most famous motorsport magazine and is released weekly costing £2.70 which, let’s face it is way too much to pay for a weekly 100+ page magazine. Autosport is one of those magazines I enjoy reading immensely, yet I find that I seldom purchase it, why? I have no idea, but I think price is definitely an issue. And you never read it again… (isn’t that the point of magazines?) Also Autosport has a half decent (but underdeveloped) website at www.autosport.com >Free Practice Autosport is dominated by Formula 1, the front cover is always a Formula 1 story (even ...  Read the complete review

I started reading Autosport about ten years ago now. It was back when I used to visit my Dad a lot and he used to be flamboyant enough with his money to get Motoring News and Autosport every week. Of course it was a lot easier then as Autosport only used to set you back £1.60 then! My interest in Autosport at the time was generally picture related. While most newspapers used to carry an occasional black and white photo Autosport was filled with glossy pictures from the latest Grand Prix, and only four days after the event! Furthermore it was not just the leading cars that were featured, you were likely to see pictures of all the cars. As I matured (just ...  Read the complete review

Many of the newer motorsport magazines tend to be dominated by Formula 1 with perhaps a small amount of coverage of the World Rally Championship or the American ChampCar series. Indeed some now even appear to exploit the high profile of F1 and treat the sport as some sort of 4-wheeled soap opera. Autosport is a long established motor sport title and is extremely thorough in its coverage of all levels of motor sport in Britain. This is not to say Formula 1 is ignored, it certainly is not. And respected motor sport journalists such as Mark Hughes and Nigel Roebuck contribute interesting articles to the magazine. The magazine is not only interested in the drivers ...  Read the complete review
