History

AutoWeek was launched on July 16, 1958, as a twice-monthly motorsports newsletter, titled Competition Press. As the publication grew in popularity through the 1960s, the editors began including vehicle reviews and industry news, changing to weekly distribution with the new title Competition Press & Autoweek. Eventually, the name was shortened to AutoWeek as it remains today.
