An Assortment of Covers (28/12/2017)
Thanks to Ashley Barnard for fourteen new driver, Formula 1, historic, team, and various DVD covers (too many to list individually); Jochen Bangert for the 1980s Obernheim and Reutlingen motocross programme covers, Snaefell Mountain TT race guides from 1982 and 1984 (see Brochures), and the Grobnik (then Rijeka) programme cover; Martin Spetz for updated cover scans of the 1979 Can-Am season-opener at Road Atlanta and the 1990 Nissan Grand Prix of Mosport, the tenth round of the 1990 IMSA GT Championship; Paul Clarke for the 1969 1000km of Suzuka programme cover; and last but not least, thank you to Terry Lynch for a dozen or so programme covers from ovals and road courses in the United States, some of which are new track listings.
Programme and Book Covers (23/12/2017)
Cliff Price is in the process of scanning the covers of his collection of more than 1,500 motorcycle programmes and is very kindly sharing them as he goes. Here is the first batch of nearly 200 new and updated covers from 2010 onwards.
Thanks also to Jochen Bangert for these motorcycle book covers: Als auf dem Norisring noch Motorräder fuhren, Die Dessauer Autobahnrennen, Die Motorradrennen auf dem Frohburger Dreieck, and Wie Hockenheim zu einer Rennstrecke kam.
New and Updated Covers (22/12/2017)
Thanks to John Lehmann for the 1998 meeting of the Ferrari Club of America at Mosport Park (now Canadian Tire Motorsport Park), and to Peter Tipping for the Junior Car Club's 200 Miles Race at Brooklands, 1928. Thanks, too, to Cliff Price for a dozen or so updated British motorcycle covers from recent years.
British Touring Car Racing (20/12/2017)
No new covers, instead a new and long overdue section of British Touring Car Racing Programmes. British Saloon Car Championship (1958 – 1986) representation is good, although it is rarely mentioned, let alone featured on the covers; British Touring Car Championship (1987 onwards) representation is patchy, but with the progression from support race to main event came dedicated covers, so there's probably more to see in the way of touring cars!
