| 26 | Krn Tyrrell. Legends by Nigel Roebuck. | General interest | 2 |
 |
| 31 | 200mph Heroes. Champcars are crossing the pond from the US to the UK for the first time in 23 years. To mark the return of the fastest racing in the world, we celebrate the stars and machines that breached the 200mph barrier in single-seater, saloon, sportscar and land speed record arenas. | General interest | 1 |
|
| 32 | The Big Left Turn. Ovals are just about turning left, right? Mario Andretti, Rick Mears and Dario Franchitti beg to differ and tell David Malsher about life at 350ft per second. | General interest | 7 |
|
| 40 | Dodge's Bullet. So what was the first car to register a 200mph closed-course lap? Perhaps a lightweight single-seater, or a slippery sports-prototype? Neither, it was a huge slab of detroit iron. Preston Lerner reports. | Features | 2 |
|
| 42 | Technofile. GMC Blower. Today's top fuel dragsters cross the line at over 300mph in motorsport's rawest display of power. But the mechanical catalyst of this blood-and-thunder action was originally designed for a meek and mild purpose, as Keith Howard explains. | General interest | 2 |
|
| 46 | Straight Fighters. Jaguar, Ferrari, Porsche: All are multiple Le Mans Winners, but the WM Team never sought to emulate them. Their raiason d'etre was to attain the quickest speed ever recorded at La Sarthe. Gary Watkins writes. | General interest | 2 |
|
| 48 | Henry Segrave. De Hane's Half-Hour. Henry De Hane Segrave took just 30 minutes to obliterate the previous land speed record and become the first driver to hit 200mph. Bill Boddy describes the least troubled record ever. | General interest | 4 |
|
| 54 | Ron Ayers. I Wish I'd Designed. Goldenrod. Before he helped conceive the world's first supersonic car, this month's 'victim' designed missiles. So it is perhaps no surprise that his choice is this stunning piston-engined 'Exocet'. | General interest | 2 |
|
| 56 | Fly Like an Eagle. Indycar lap speeds went through the roof in the early seventies and it seemed only a mater of time before Eagles's Bobby Unser broke the 200mph barrier. But, writes Preston Lerner, the script changed. | General interest | 2 |
|
| 60 | Ken Tyrell. Farewell to a Sportsman. When Ken Tyrell died in the early hours of August 25, motor racing lost one of its very finest gentlemen. Tyrell enjoyed some great moments after 1973, but it is with Jackie Stewart that he is inextricably linked. We recall a symbiotic relationship that yielded world titles and truly world-class memories for all. | General interest | 4 |
|
| 66 | Track Tests. Montjuich. The extra speed of this Barcelona street circuit made it superior to Monaco - and more vulnerable to the safey crusade. Paul Fearnley visits it during rush hour. | Events | 7 |
|
| 74 | Truck or Treat? Innes Ireland, working as a journalist for Autocar, endured an eye-opening experience when he accompanied the hard-working BRM mechanics to the 1969 Spanish Grand Prix. | General interest | 5 |
|
| 80 | Roy Salvadori. The One That Got Away. A Spot of Bother. Roy Salvadori 1961 United States Grand Prix. The thrill had gone, the love affair with F1 was over. Salvadori admits to Adam Cooper that he was merely going through the motions, until... | General interest | 2 |
|
| 82 | Martin Donnelly. Around the Next Corner. As he turned in, Martin Donnelly was hot F1 property. Just fractions later, he hit the barrier on the exit and his career was over. Mark Hughes talks to the man many considered to be a better prospect than Damon Hill. | General interest | 6 |
|
| 90 | Reggie Tongue. Man Among Princes. For a pre-war privateer, buying an E.R.A. was the fastest way to success. But as Eric Dymock shows with the aid of Reggie Tongue's diaries, owning one did not necessarily put you in the Bourne in-crowd. | General interest | 5 |
