From December 1951, the supplement appeared as an independent magazine under the title "Motorsport". In 1953 the name was changed to "Illustrated Motorsport". It was published as a specialist journal for the Motorsport Section, then as an organ of the Presidium of the Motor Racing Section of the German Democratic Republic and from issue 14/1957 as an organ of the (newly founded) General German Motorsport Association (the GDR) ADMV.
