Auto racing
At its launch, "Autoweek" (then titled: "Competition Press") aimed to provide information for car and racing enthusiasts that was not readily available through other media outlets. The publication gave thorough coverage of major and minor races, as well as auto shows. Auto racing coverage included full grids, qualifying times, speeds, and tires, for both amateur and professional races. As television and cable began increasing motorsports coverage during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s "Autoweek" began to focus more prominently on automotive enthusiasts. As of 2012, in addition to covering auto racing and auto shows, "Autoweek" covers vehicle trends, reviews and automotive lifestyle stories.
