F1 Blog

matt_shaw · January 18th, 2006, 12:26 AM

I was thinking about starting up a blog devoted to the 2006 F1 season. Maybe get several people to contribute? I know there is already a ton of information on the web, but nothing that has everything in one place.

comments?

edit: no blog. a website with pages to all of the info and a news section

Would it just be a compilation of news articles or would people write thoughts and/or opinions?

matt_shaw · January 18th, 2006, 2:34 AM

both. i would try and pick the most interesting and well written articles out there; it would be cool to have people contribute articles too

jayjaya29 · January 18th, 2006, 2:55 AM

Well I am interested, don't know how much I would be able to contribute with school taking up most of my time. I think I would able to write an article maybe after each race or if something significant happens.

im going to do a few sketches for the layout tonight then try and get something together tomorrow.

i'll probaly use cute news for the news management thing; super easy to work with images/smilies/smile.gif

Sounds good. My plan right now is to watch the races live on sat morning, then write the article afterwards.

There is a time difference between the continents...

Sunday afternoon in Europe is saturday somewhere in the world.

Saturday maybe, but no way it'll be saturday morning. Even if the race would be in Australia it would only mean early morning in Europe and late night in America.

jayjaya29 · January 18th, 2006, 8:56 PM

Huh, the races usually air saturday morning. Thats when a majority of the races air here on the East Coast.

Unless I'm totally missing out on something? images/smilies/wacko.gif

My guess: They are delayed by a week

jayjaya29 · January 19th, 2006, 8:03 PM

You guys are getting me confused.

Okay, lets take the first race of the 2006 season in Bahrain. The races starts at 2:30PM or 14:30 their time. So that means it is aired live here in the US on the east coast at 6:30AM. So thats pretty early, but I'll get it.

Lets say a race in Europe starts at 2:00PM or 14:00 European time, that means with a 6-hour difference, it will air here in the US live at 8:00AM.

Hazardous · January 19th, 2006, 9:06 PM

Correct. But the races are done on sundays, not saturdays.

jayjaya29 · January 19th, 2006, 9:13 PM

Yep your right.

Kinda feel stupid now..... images/smilies/whistling.gif
