Автоспорт: История и современность британского журнала о моторах.

British motorsport magazine
the magazine

Autosport is a global motorsport publishing brand headquartered based in Richmond, London, England. It was established in 1950 at the same time as the origins of the Formula One World Championship. Autosport began life as a weekly magazine in 1950 and expanded into digital publishing with the creation of Autosport. com in 1997. In 2016, Haymarket Media Group sold Autosport and the rest of its motorsport portfolio to Motorsport Network.

Autosport launched its website – Autosport. com – in 1997. As distinct from the magazine, the online content is more internationally focussed and as well as covering sports news and reporting on races, Autosport. com also produces video and galleries taken from the Motorsport Images archive and in depth long form content in the website's subscriber only sections.

Autosport Plus is a paywalled part of the autosport. com website with additional content.

Autosport first issue was published in 1950 and the weekly newsstand title has been in continuous publication ever since. It covers all forms of motorsport from Formula 1 through to the British club racing scene. The magazine carries race and rally reports from high profile and significant meetings from all over the world and the UK and blends this with news analysis and in depth articles looking at contemporary cars, drivers and events as well as retrospective looks at significant characters and developments from the sport's past. Traditionally Autosport had only focused on four wheel racing, but its editorial expanded to include MotoGP coverage in 2014. In the past, the magazine once carried reviews of new road cars, but it is now specifically dedicated to racing and rallying. Autosport stopped printing their magazine on 30 April 2020 due to COVID, and said that they would resume in time for the 2020 Formula 1 season. They then resumed publishing with the issue dated 3 July 2020.

Autosport Engineering and Autosport Performance are regular supplements that appear in Autosport each month on a rotating basis. Edited by James Newbold, Autosport Engineering is derived from the section of the Autosport International Show of the same name. The supplement has a particular focus on companies based in the UK.

Autosport International is a motorsport themed exhibition, which has taken place every January at the NEC Birmingham, UK, since 1991.

The Autosport Awards, held annually at The Grosvenor House Hotel on Park Lane in London on the first weekend in December is motorsport's red carpet event, honouring the achievements of the race drivers from Formula One and other world championships, as well as recognising and promoting emerging talent.
