Gary Watkins has, for reasons best known to himself, devoted all his working life to covering sportscar racing. This season is his 29th as a motorsport journalist, during which time he has reported on major long-distance events on four continents and approaching 70 24-hour races. He reckons a degree in political philosophy makes him well qualified for covering the sometimes Machiavellian world of international sportscars.

Gary, who also writes for Autoweek, Motor Sport, Autocourse, RACER and others, lives in Surbiton but spends more time on the road than at home for most of the year.

Edd Straw is a former Editor and Editor-in-Chief of Autosport, who has now returned to covering the Formula 1 circus full-time.

Originally from Guernsey in the Channel Islands, he joined Autosport in 2002 having graduated from Warwick University. He went on to cover a wide range of categories from club motorsport to the World Touring Car Championship and sportscars to Formula 3, before switching to F1 full-time at the 2008 French Grand Prix. He then became Autosport Magazine Editor in November 2014.

After subsequent spells as Autosport Editor-in-Chief and then as Motorsport Network's Digital Content Manager, he returned to his favourite role of Grand Prix Editor in 2018.

He is also the host of The Autosport Podcast, a judge for the Autosport Williams Engineer of the Future Award, and was formerly a club racer whose abilities did not match his enthusiasm in a variety of categories ranging from Stock Hatch to the European Ferrari Challenge.

When the Ducati he'd been riding landed on top of him, Stuart Codling realised that writing about motor racing would be a safer long-term career choice. He has worked for Autosport and its sister title F1 Racing since 2001 and is the award-winning author of eight books. He now only crashes his mountain bike.
