Illustrierter Motor Sport Index

The official magazine of the East German motorsport association. The Illustrierter Motorsport was a fortnightly magazine covering all areas of motor sport, including automobiles, motorcycles and even speedboat racing. There was also a focus on vehicle design and road testing of both domestic and foreign vehicles, along with some political commentary. The association was often critical in its pages of the attempts by the West German authorities to block East German sportsmen and women from competeing internationally.

The magazine was first published in 1951 as 'Motorsport', changing its name to Illustrated Motorsport in 1953. It was a fortnightly publication until 1969, when it became monthly. In 1991 the magazine was rolled into the national 'Rallye Racing' magazine. Early editions are printed on extremely poor quality paper which has substantially deteriorated over time.
