I'll just summarize the magazines that I have been reading, rating them for coverage: Autocar Britain Weekly, fair F1, WEC, rally coverage Autoweek USA Weekly, good F1, CART, IMSA coverage Auto Sport Britain Weekly, great coverage of F1, WEC, rallying and fair CART/IMSA coverage. B&W photos. Car & Driver USA Monthly, occasional CART coverage Grand Prix France Monthly, very good coverage of F1, WEC, rallies, good coverage of IMSA and CART. Excellent photos. Motor Trend USA Monthly, occasional coverage Road & Track USA Monthly, fair but late F1 coverage Then there are always the German, French and Italian magazines if you happen to be blessed with the knowledge of such a language... I like GPI even now that it is monthly (2 years ago, it came out on Thursday after every F1 race, and last year it was biweekly). The photography is still excellent, and the results are reasonably fast. For complete coverage I want Auto Sport, but I can not afford $140 CDN a year until after graduation. \tom haapanen watmath!watdcsu!haapanen Don't cry, don't do anything No lies, back in the government No tears, party time is here again President Gas is up for president (c) Psychedelic Furs, 1982
