This was another powerful year for Sports Car Digest. There was rarely a dull moment in 2015 as we covered hundreds of historic rallies, vintage races, classic car auctions and events around the world. The grand total of stories published during the year came to nearly 450, growing the archives to more than 4,000 articles. And we again offer sincere thanks to our audience of historic car enthusiasts for actually reading them!
Leading the way in popularity for 2015 was coverage of the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance, followed by the photo galleries from the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este and Mille Miglia. Similar to 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014, nearly all of the top stories included extensive photo galleries that accounted for a majority of the page views.
