Book excerpt: AUTOCOURSE THE WORLD'S LEADING GRAND PRIX ANNUAL Launched way back in 1951, AUTOCOURSE is proud of its heritage as an independent publication, which for over sixty years has covered the Grand Prix World Championship in minute detail. At its core are definitive race reports filed by noted motor sport journalists, all of whom are regulars on the circuits and members of the ‘inner sanctum’ of writers who have access to the sport’s movers and shakers. Their reports are backed by the most complete statistical data available, including detailed lap charts, some of which are unique to this publication. While Grand Prix racing naturally takes centre stage, AUTOCOURSE has always covered the many other categories of motor sport that have flourished over the past half-century. The world’s great races, from the Le Mans 24-Hours to the Indianapolis 500, are perennial events in a comprehensive motor sport overview that today covers Sports Cars, Indycar, NASCAR, GP2, GP3, F3, Touring Cars, Karting and more. Delving back into the past, readers can delight in the now lost worlds of non-championship F1 racing, Formula 2, F5000, CanAm and the Tasman Series, which boasted many of the leading drivers of the day among their competitors. One of the greatest strengths of AUTOCOURSE through the years has been its superb photographic coverage. Many of the world’s leading motor sport photographers have been regular contributors, their images providing the ultimate pictorial record of each racing season. In a fast changing world, AUTOCOURSE retains its position as the definitive record of each season’s motor sport. Now, sought-after and long-out-of-print editions, which command high prices from collectors, will shortly be available to download at a very modest cost for enthusiasts to enjoy on their Apple and Android tablets in eBook form.
