Autocourse 2025-2026

This is the 75th year of AUTOCOURSE, as Formula One itself celebrates its 75th Anniversary. To mark this the book includes a number of exclusive features looking back at 75 years of F1 and Autocourse.

McLaren and their drivers have dominated the F1 championship, but they've not had it their own way as Max Verstappen has taken a number of memorable wins throughout the season.

Authors Tony Dodgins and Maurice Hamilton, combining 80 years of F1 expertise, examine each Grand Prix in depth. Full race reports are backed by detailed results, including lap charts and tyre strategies.

The nuances of F1’s designs and development are analysed team by team by the much-respected Mark Hughes, enhanced by Adrian Dean’s handsome F1 car illustrations.

Motor racing’s other major categories are also fully covered: WEC and Le Mans sports car successes; the closely-fought Formula 2 and Formula 3 championships, featuring emerging young talent from around all continents of the world; and the tightly fought Formula E series for electric powered single seaters.

AUTOCOURSE includes all the hectic action from the top Touring Car series – the World Touring Car Cup and the British Touring Car Championships as well as the  DTM Series running GT cars from Audi, Mercedes, BMW and Ferrari.

From America, Gordon Kirby recounts a thrilling Indycar series, where Alex Palou took the honours from Pato O'Ward, his fourth IndyCar title plus winning the 2025 Indianapolis 500. The ever-popular NASCAR stock car series ran from February to November with barely a weekend’s break, to feature more than forty races before the final championship play-off round at Phoenix, Arizona.
