A century ago, The Brooklands Gazette was launched by an enterprising publisher, dedicated to covering the best of the burgeoning world of motor racing. The magazine was soon renamed Motor Sport and now, 100 years on, continues to flourish as an independent, free-speaking voice for racing fans worldwide. As we celebrate the momentous year in 2024, we will feature the latest articles and podcasts that look back over a century of racing; the ways that you can get involved; and some of the best writing from the magazine’s history.
