Autosport Awards

The Autosport Awards are a series of awards given out by motor racing magazine Autosport to drivers that have impressed throughout the previous season. These awards are also influenced by the general public, as they can vote for the driver that has excelled to them throughout the year, before the awards are handed out every December. The awards have been handed out since 1982.[1]

Categories

There are thirteen awards handed out by the magazine – eight of which are voted on, by the general public and four are chosen by the magazine and/or a handful of professionals who are there to judge a competition (McLaren Autosport BRDC Award). These are:
