Cartoonist Jim Bamber passes away

Renowned motorsport artist and long-time AUTOSPORT cartoonist Jim Bamber has passed away after a long battle against cancer.

A former art editor of CAR magazine and Autocourse, Jim's well-loved cartoons became a weekly staple of AUTOSPORT magazine, and his impishly satirical weekly views also featured on AUTOSPORT.com.

Bamber's rally-based Yumping Yarns and Formula 1 series of books, The Pits, were also fan favorites over the past three decades. He passed away on Friday afternoon.
