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 switched from a weekly to a monthly publication at the beginning of 2025, after it was merged with its sister title
GP Racing.
