AUTOCOURSE 2022-23 72nd YEAR OF PUBLICATION Another record-breaking 22
Grand Prix season saw Red Bull Racing and Ferrari go head-to-head with
some spectacular races and epic drives from all four drivers, each one
winning one or more races. Mercedes with Lewis Hamilton and new recruit
George Russell struggled for most of the season with aero and relentless
porpoising until mid-way through the season when their performances
improved and some notable qualifying and race results appeared, but far
too late to challenge for the top spot. There were some flashes of
brilliance from the midpack consisting of Alpine, McLaren, Alpha Tauri,
and Alfa Romeo, but Aston Martin, Haas, and Williams continued their
struggle for consistency. Authors Tony Dodgins and Maurice Hamilton,
combining 80 years of F1 expertise, examine each round in depth. Full
race reports are backed by detailed results, including lap charts and
tire strategies. The nuances of F1's designs and development are
analyzed 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: Toyota's 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, featuring a mix of youthful talent such as
Alex Palou and Pato O'Ward, both of whom vying to overturn the
established veterans who have dominated proceedings over the past
decade. 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. In a
single essential volume, AUTOCOURSE provides the most comprehensive
record of world motor sport, complete with full results not found
anywhere in a single volume. It is required reading for all motor sport
fans worldwide.
