THE ANNUAL – Australian Motorsport is an all-Australian book, documenting the racing and results from local and international motorsport.

First published by Grant Rowley in 2005, The Annual is a comprehensive collation of every major motorsport race and event. The Annual celebrates the winners, documents the disasters and encapsulates all the colour and excitement that motor racing brings to our lives. 

Australian motor racing fans are well catered for in terms of motor racing print media, but The Annual is the only publication that is dedicated to bring together all of the highlights and lowlights of the local racing season. 

The Annual is the authority on racing results. Need to know who won Bathurst? Can't remember the Carrera Cup Champion? Want to know who finished 33rd in Race 3 of the Aussie Racing Cars at Oran Park? The Annual has the answer! 

The Annual is published and edited by Grant Rowley. Grant, 26, has worked as a journalist at Motorsport News for four years and is a motor racing tragic. Grant is the News Editor at the respected MNews magazine.
