Car and Driver once featured PJ O'Rourke, Bruce McCall, and Dick Smothers as writers. Former editors include William Jeanes and David E. Davis, the latter of whom led some employees to defect in order to create Automobile Magazine. The current magazine editor is Csaba Csere. Other notable staff members are Brock Yates (organizer of the notorious Cannonball Run outlaw road race and more modern One Lap of America), and Patrick Bedard, who raced in the Indianapolis 500 in 1983 and 1984.
