The Autosport Awards are a series of awards presented by British motorsport magazine Autosport to drivers, constructors, executives and promoters for achievements that season in auto racing and rallying.
Select awards are voted for by the general public via a readers' poll, with others chosen by a panel of experts. The awards have been presented every year since 1982. They were traditionally held in December each year at the Grosvenor House Hotel in Mayfair. For the 2024 edition, they moved to the Roundhouse in Camden and hosted the awards the following January.
History
The Autosport Awards were founded by British motorsport magazine Autosport in 1982, when the magazine requested its readers voted on eight categories, including International Racing Driver, International Rally Driver, National Racing Driver, National Rally Driver, and British Competition Driver.[1] The event was first hosted in-person in 1988, and was traditionally held at the Grosvenor House Hotel in Mayfair each December until 2023. For the 2024 edition, the ceremony moved to the Roundhouse in Camden, which hosted the awards in January 2025.[2]
