Automobilsport #15, an issue worth getting

I've been very impressed with the few issues of Automobilsport that I've gotten, and I wish I hadn't missed out on #10, where the subject was Ferrari and the English-language edition sold out quickly. (The German-language edition is still available.)

Well, now here comes #15, and the subject is, again, Ferrari, and this time I ordered it immediately! This looks like it will be worth the effort:

Their issue #19 for the first quarter of 2019 is out, with a good cover article on the "sponsored" years of the BRM F1 team: Yardley in 1970-71, Marlboro in 1972-73 and Motul in 1974. The team had some brief periods of success, actually finishing second in the 1971 constructors' race, but by 1974 the team was rapidly sliding to oblivion. (It may be good that the very feeble attempts to keep the name alive in 1975-77 are not even mentioned.)

There is also a good article on the WM sports-car team at Le Mans, whose eventual goal, which they did succeed at, was to break the 400 kph (or if you prefer, 250 mph) barrier on the Mulsanne straight before the chicanes were added. There is also an article about a team racing Opel GTs and a few good articles about historic racing. I picked up my copy at a Books-a-Million store; you will not find it at Barnes & Noble.
