Autocourse
Just a heads up for anyone who gets this regularly.
Ordered mine through Amazon this year - turned up in 6 days (considering time of year and weather etc pretty good) Amazed to see cover price for this years issue is about £50. Amazon have it at £37.54 with free delivey. (don't worry about the cover illustration on Amazon - obviously thoughtt the championship was going elsewhere !) |

This will be my first year in a long while without one.....
It was while moving house in the summer that i realised how ruddy heavy my collection was. And for something i usually read cover to cover on xmas day and then leave to collect dust on my bookshelf, i thought i could live without it.... |

Yes but all books are weighty to move. I find it hard getting boxes that hold the buggers though.
I didn't know the price was £50 though, missus got mine from amazon for me for Xmas so at least it will have been a lot cheaper. Used to be £35 I think? |

I've been thinking of getting a few second hand older copies from eBay, but since they are so heavy and shipping is going to cost a small fortune I've been a bit reluctant since I've never seen one.
How comprehensive are the non-F1 chapters? Are there complete race results, or just a little resume and a short top 10 championship table thrown in? |

You get all results in the back and a little review of certain series (sportscars, American scene, GP2, F3 etc...).
Obviously for late finishing series like NASCAR, you don't get the final few race results, but these are put in the next years. |

It's a general touring car review as opposed to a BTCC specific one.
