In its seventh consecutive year, the 2020 Motoring Book of the Year Awards is already considered and recognized as the most prestigious in the automotive publishing industry.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The response this year was remarkable as there were 32 quality entries by 24 various publishing houses, ranging from international and independents to self-published authors.\u00a0The contenders that have been shortlisted include biographies, motorsport titles, general motoring reference books, and marque histories.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There will only be three awards that will be presented on the day. Motoring Book of the Year will be given to an outstanding book that has a wide appeal and is no more than \u00a375.\u00a0Specialist Book of the Year is given to those books who were deemed to have done thorough research and perfect writing with no limitation as to the retail cost. This year, there will also be a new award that will be introduced: The Lifetime Achievement Award, an award that will give recognition to those who have\u00a0contributed substantially and significantly to the international motoring book industry.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The Royal Automobile Club award committee is comprised of six independent and expert judges, comprised of the most informed motoring literary critics of the UK. They are Mick Walsh of\u00a0<em>Classic &amp; Sports Car<\/em>, Mark Dixon of\u00a0<em>Octane<\/em>, Gordon Cruickshank of\u00a0<em>Motor Sport<\/em>, and\u00a0Ian\u00a0Titchmarch, avid book collector and\u00a0<em>BRDC Bulletin<\/em>\u00a0editor.\u00a0The retail sector\u00a0are\u00a0represented by Christian Whitehead of the London bookstore, Foyles; and specialist bookseller Horton\u2019s Books\u2019 Ben Horton. Esteemed motorsport writer, historian, and commentator Simon Taylor will be the chair of the judging panel.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cThe Royal Automobile Club Motoring Book of the Year Awards have become synonymous with celebrating the best automotive books, authors and publishers.\u00a0The quality of entries this year has been quite remarkable, which is a reassuring sign that the industry is in good shape and the appetite for motoring books continue to be healthy. The\u00a0rigour\u00a0around the judging process was very impressive and given the quality of entries it was the toughest judging year yet. We now focus on the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award, which is another tough task because there are some outstanding candidates that have devoted their life to motoring publishing,\u201d said Jeremy Vaughan, Head of Motoring.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The six titles shortlisted for Motoring Book of the Year are:\u00a0<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u2022<em><strong>Richie Ginther Motor Racing&#8217;s Free Thinker<\/strong><\/em> by Richard Jenkins (Performance Publishing)\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Richie-Ginther-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-792340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Richie-Ginther-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"311\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Richie-Ginther-1.jpg 311w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Richie-Ginther-1-233x300.jpg 233w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Richie-Ginther-1-78x100.jpg 78w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Richie-Ginther-1-293x377.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 311px) 100vw, 311px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u2022<em><strong>Louis\u00a0Coatalen\u00a0Engineering Impresario of Humber, Sunbeam, Talbot and\u00a0Darracq<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0by Oliver Heal (Unicorn Publishing Group LLP)\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/51abOkkgkL._SL250_-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-592518\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/51abOkkgkL._SL250_-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"209\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/51abOkkgkL._SL250_-1.jpg 209w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/51abOkkgkL._SL250_-1-84x100.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 209px) 100vw, 209px\" \/><\/a>\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u2022<strong><em>A Race with Love and Death: The Story of Richard Seaman<\/em><\/strong> by Richard Williams (Simon &amp;
