The awards have gone to the roundhouse in January at the Groswner House Hotel from his traditional December slot. But some history, including selection of major awards, residues – and stars often participate in the event to receive their awards in front of motorcysters.
The inaugural program was in 1988, but the awards herself returned to 1982. In the magazine of December 2 that year, Autosport called upon its readers to vote on eight categories. Four of them – International Racing Driver, National Racing Driver, British Competition Driver and International Rally Driver – remain, while racing car and rally car prizes have been added to our current international competition car award.

Mitchell Mutton was the inaugural rally driver of the year, who won the British driver Colin McRe (three times) and Richard Burns (twice) in later years. Looking at its domination of the game properly, Sebasteins Loaib and Ogier shared a record on seven wins, although the Ogier is a candidate again this time, so it can move forward.
