Automobile Year 2011/12: No. 59 by Serge Bellu

As in previous editions, Automobile Year 59 will be divided into three main subject areas: Industry, Motorsport and Culture. Each of these three areas includes exhaustive coverage of the events that punctuated the year, together with an overall assessment of ther collective significance. The Industry section is divided into three chapters: Economics (a study of the major world markets especially including the new emerging countries such as Russia or Brazil), Production (the principal new developments presented in 2011 and an assessment of technological trends) and Design (an extensive selection of concept cars and an assessment of trends). The Motorsport section has been expanded and now has five chapters: Formula 1, Endurance, Rallying, Touring Cars and American Racing Events. Each chapter includes an analysis of the main contenders, a report of each race with results, and a review of the season. This section has been completed with a review of other race events including: the single-seat formulae, the super GT, the IRC Championship, the Dakar and other rally-raids, the German DTM Championship. The Culture section is divided into two chapters: Art (mutual influences between cars and other art forms) and Heritage (collector's market, historic races, concours d'elegance, etc.)
