We have seen copies of the 1982, 1983 and 1984 editions but publication seems to have started in 1980 and may have gone on for years beyond...
- 1982 Edition (352 pages ISBN 0-498-02585-3)
- 1983 Edition (336 pages ISBN 0-900730-11-0)

Any really serious racing fan of the European racing scene really needs to get themselves copies of this series of year books that start from 1985-6. The first edition contained 600+ pages of detailed facts and figures covering professional, amateur, junior and veteran races - road, track and off-road.
The text is in Dutch but that does not detract from the depth of information provided. The 1985-6 edition was published by Elmar Sport with Herman Harens, Evert de Rooij and Wencel Maresch as editors; ISBN 90 6120 500 X.
Checking the web for secondhand copies, all the editions from 1985 to date were found; with prices starting at just 4 euros. The official Wieler Jaarboek website is here..
