Call for presentations

Media-related motorsports history
International Motor Racing Research Center
Watkins Glen, NY USA
Onsite and remote presentations


The International Motor Racing Research Center and the Society of Automotive Historians present the Seventh Annual Michael R. Argetsinger Symposium on International Motor Racing History on Friday and Saturday, November 3 & 4, 2023, in the Media Center of the world-famous Watkins Glen International racing circuit in Watkins Glen, New York.



2023 is the 75th anniversary of the beginning of road racing on the streets of Watkins Glen, the 75th anniversary of NASCAR, and the 25th anniversary of the founding of the International Motor Racing Research Center.

To celebrate these milestones, this year we especially encourage submissions, including those employing innovative presentation formats, which explore the following post-WW2 developments:

· Road racing in America in all genres, amateur and professional, including sports car, stock car, and Formula One

· The mass popularity of stock car racing, due to the success of NASCAR

· The institutionalization of motor racing history and motor racing-related educational programs world-wide



Submissions on other topics of international motor sport history of other eras are also welcome, including, but not limited to, the history, evolution, and development of race cars and motor sport technology; motor sport geography, oral history, and historiography; cultural, gender, media, and political histories of motor sport; and archival and museum studies.

The Symposium is a unique gathering geared to scholars, independent historians, the enthusiast media, motor sport participants, and interested members of the public. The two-day event is free and open to the public and will be live streamed for remote viewing, courtesy of Gran Touring Motorsports. Both in-person and remote presentations will be made.
