Motor Sport is a monthly motor racing magazine, founded in the United Kingdom in 1924 [1] as the Brooklands Gazette. [2] The name was changed to Motor Sport for the August 1925 issue. [3] The magazine covers motor sport in general, although from 1997 to 2006 its emphasis was historic motorsport. It remains one of the leading titles on both modern and historic racing.

Contents

The magazine's photo library is currently managed by LAT Images, which founded as Motor Sport photographic division by Wesley J. Tee in the 1960s and later spun-off as a stand-alone affiliated company. The magazine's monthly podcasts have featured Christian Horner, Mario Andretti, Patrick Head, Sir Frank Williams, John McGuinness and Gordon Murray.

In 1939, the magazine incorporated its rival Speed (the organ of the British Racing Drivers' Club).
