Originally a biweekly motorsports newspaper named Competition Press, it began publishing news and reviews in the mid-1960s. As vehicle reviews and automotive news became more of the publication's focus, its name was changed to Competition News & AutoWeek and it began to publish weekly. In the mid-1980s, under the direction of longtime editor and publisher Leon Mandel, changed its name to simply AutoWeek and transformed from a tabloid newspaper into a magazine.
