Automobile Year 2003/04 (No. 51): Ian Norris

Automobile Year, the only annual to cover every aspect of the world of cars, provides a comprehensive review of new cars, every aspect of motor sport and the state of the motor industry across the world.

In addition to all the new production cars, the most important concept cars of the year are illustrated and appraised by experts in the field of automotive design, with comments that pull no punches. In addition, industry commentators from Europe, Asia and the USA combine to provide an inside look at how the major manufacturing centres have performed in the past year.

In the field of motor sport, Automobile Year is unequalled for the depth of its coverage. Experts in their field report on the past season in Formula 1, World Rally, Endurance and GT racing, Touring Car racing and the major US championships, all with superb photography and detailed results.

Feature articles cover matters of current and historic interest. They include a review of the development of the Sports Utility Vehicle, the origins of the Japanese motor industry and the story of Peugeot. The lives of legendary driver Tazio Nuvolari and pioneering American motoring journalist Floyd Clymer are described and there is an explanation of the technology that brings the thrills of rallying to our TV screens. A unique portfolio from French photographer Jacques Cochin compares and contrasts the beauty of cars and haute couture. This feature reflects the high standards of photography and printing that have become the hallmark of the publication and are maintained throughout its 272 large format editorial pages
