V8 Supercars New Look Website

flying finn · 1 Mar 2007, 11:17 (Ref:1854480)

www.v8supercar.com.au has been updated for the 2007 season - looks good on my monitor and has lots of new links and info

Nice. It was ready for a refresh.

I disagree totally. The new website is difficult to navigate and has no cohesion. It is very messy.

To me that sounds like the previous version as well. This version and the last look too much like a Telstra Big Pond design, bad to navigate, poor layout and crap Sensis Search Engine. At least I can enjoy the racing.

...Agree 100%...almost as bad as the Nascar site if not worse...

Hard to navigate and , what really cheeses me off, so out of date. As at last night, the Fujitsu cars had been on the track twice but no updated entry list, no links to times and no photos.

Never mind the colour and movement..I want a site that is up to date and informative.

I also found that the page takes a while to load too... on broadband with a kazillion GB of capacity...

I like the pointscore list "Driver ???? 0 points" and the tipping competition winner is still there from last year.. yet the drivers scores arent

Not very special really...

Agree. Its no good. Gone backwards already. On tech talk they did have up the Supp regs for Adelaide........

now they've dissapeared. Do they know its 2007??? None of the Rules and Regs are updated..

Very average, last years web page was easier to work with. 5/10.

I love the live timing! Everyone is driving Holdens!! Winterbottom: Ford Performance Racing, holden logo... I even saw Warren Luff in the for Britek and old Brighty still with FPR!! I see the potential, but it seems to me that the site was a bit of a last minute rush.. I reckon give it another few days and they will have fixed a lot of the bugs... I think it has the potential to be a better site, just get rid of all the advertising!!

Not refreshing enough, it seems.

Today on Sunrise they had some guy reporting from the track. Anyway he made the comment that this year's series was "more exciting than ever before and with a revised point scoring system that awards points only to the first 15 finishers."

I just browsed the site and all I could find was the 2006 operations manual. I can't find anything that references the 2007 season other than the calendar.

So, if the scoring system has changed does anyone know where to find it on this "refreshing" and "updated" website?

Too busy, navigation not clear. Some good ideas, but poorly executed. On the plus side, it's easy to find the TV times for events

TSR · 3 Mar 2007, 01:24 (Ref:1855991)

I have just signed up to race timing, but I can not find the link to RACE TIMING to log on, can anyone help please.I do not know if it is this new web page but there is not link.Otherwise I must be blind as a bat.

TSR · 3 Mar 2007, 01:27 (Ref:1855992)

Delete the above I have find it. Sorry people.

Probably trying to hide it so you might sign up for a LiveV8 package

Its crazy that its a Windows/IE only site and it non-standards compliant

Click here for the old site

Anyone know how I find out the radio frequencies for the teams?It is 'greyed out' on the VESA site so I can't access it.I'm after the HRT ones specifically.
Cheers,
Tony.
