About 8W

8W is forix.autosport.com's motorsport history magazine and covers the drivers, cars, circuits, eras and technology that shaped the face, sounds and smells of motor racing. 8W's main aim is to create easy access to all kinds of knowledge on the history of motor racing. Our focus doesn't lie with the cold facts and the statistics but instead we dig into the motorsport stories that continue to warm our hearts. The 8W site started out in May 1998, centering around a game that was meant as an hommage to Autosport magazine's long-running and most famous part of their annual Christmas Quiz - Who? What? Where? When? We then added an extra W - Why? to cover the story behind the picture - and gave it another three Ws by putting it on the Web. In the Autumn of 2001 we held our last game before switching to the current format. 8W is presented by FORIX (www.forix.com) and kindly hosted by autosport.com (www.autosport.com).
