i asked for absurd, not for silly. And for existentialist. But what exactly is the existentialist part?
It fits perfectly for GTI

Okay, that is even too dry for GTI... i meant the art form, not the philisophers...

Just nevermind, i'll take the first version, it's surrealist and yet somehow, there's some professionalism in it, and a strange feeling of heavy metal too, which refers to the long gone industrial times when the big plans were made. Perfect! (yes there's a deeper meaning to what you did than what you realised)

No, that's why I went for orange/black, it reminded me of rust, which reminds me of industry.

Also, I have no idea what existentialist art is :lol:

Meanwhile, it seems some Scuderia Alitalia cronies are selling "Drink! Feck! Arse! Girls!" t-shirts in the parking lots during qualifying and the race, seeing as they've got nothing else to do by that time in the race weekends :lol:

The fact that Melrose himself showed up to race day for the Bathurst 24 Hour race in that shirt is entirely unrelated :lol:

Made a bit of a mess at the bottom with the F1RWRS tables, if someone could line the F1 results like ive done with the F3 ones that would be helpful. I dont know what ive done but im scared to change anything incase it all goes a bit loopy on me :lol:

It's nowhere near as rejectful as the ARC logo. To be fair, the ARC logo is intentionally bad.

So... what can we do with the "random" Wiki entries? Compile them into a "random" section of F1 Rejects terminology?

F1 Deprivation
HWNSNBM (which now says more than merely "HWNSNBM is awesome"...)
Papaya
Papaya cannon
Baker's Law (one I've just made)
Bathplug (another one I've just made)

I wholeheartedly endorse this Wiki entry.

Well I'm looking to refine the RWRS table on the front page and get rid of the individual driver/team links there so it's a bit easier to navigate, so with the space that creates, we can have a nice little table underneath with them all there!

All pages are in the Misc category except for HWNSNBM, which is in Real-life drivers because he is a real-life driver (I can't tell you the name for security reasons).

Also Diniz, I think you should do the pages for F1RMGP teams and the enduro results.

Within today or tomorrow, I'm planning to launch the wild-mass-guessing page and import things from old wiki - stay tuned

Enduro results will follow very shortly. Then I'll crack the teams' pages.

I think I know the one you mean, but... it was a bit disorganised, wasn't it?

Incidentally, "wild mass guessing" seems to have crept into the F1RMGP Wiki page. Who are James Legard and Jonathan Allen? There's only one radio commentator, and that's Jimmy Allinson. Was his name not already a clue as to a potential real-life counterpart...?

Changed it. They are the reserve commentator(s) and grid walkers.

How about getting rid of the table altogether and put some big shiny buttons in their place?

Kind of, although it would need a few more links in it, as well as all the F2 and F3 drivers, teams and records pages being done first!

By all means, go for it. The current one I designed to replace the original page which was even more basic. What exists now is about the limit of my wiki programming skills so if you can make something better, that would be brilliant. I did have an idea to have a 'road to the F1RWRS' graphic with the info for each series represented like a flow diagram, with F3RWRS and RoLFS at the bottom, followed by the F2RWRS and then F1RWRS at the top. But whatever, I'm sure it's going to be better than my efforts!

Couldn't figure out how to stack floating tables so had shite all over the place on the Beta test.

Took me an hour to come up with the idea that wiki stacks the tables horizontally rather than vertically

Is it just me, or is the wiki not working? Ever time I try to access it, the wiki refuses to load

EDIT ---- It was just me :oops:

I like it like that - you can't miss it. It would be nice though kostas if the other (active) series got the same treatment. Great Work, keep it up!

I thought about that, but consider this - the page would be a MASSIVE long list of these. I'll keep the idea of big images for active series but re-design it a bit.

Stupid question: is there a deeper reason the fonts for the three series are different? Because to be honest, it would look ... more seriously (using this word in combination with a virtual racing series just feels silly) :lol:

... if we were to use a unified font.

Other than that it is pretty much awesome.

Yes there is actually, I wanted to give each series its own individual identity by using primary colours (F3RWRS was supposed to be blue but I had a mind lapse and put green by accident) combined with different fonts.

Also, I should probably explain the 'History' placeholder that goes nowhere at the moment. This will be a new page for each of the RWRS which gives brief details of and links to all seasons in that series, and a list of former drivers in the series.

AndreaModa · Post by **AndreaModa** » 18 May 2012, 22:59

I'd also like it Kostas if we could include the drivers, teams and records pages for each series in these images, otherwise it's going to be a nightmare trying to navigate to some of the older ones that maybe aren't competing in the current season.

What we have at the moment is too much information, and what you've proposed perhaps has not quite enough. We need a balance between the two I think!

EDIT: although having re-read your last post it seems you intend to do that with the 'history' pages.

the Masked Lapwing · Post by **the Masked Lapwing** » 19 May 2012, 03:33

If I'm honest, I prefer the current main page, although the driver and team lists should be gotten rid of. But if we do use the new one, can they at least use the same bloody font?

dinizintheoven · Post by **dinizintheoven** » 19 May 2012, 14:12

How about - red, green, blue for F1/2/3RWRS, then F1RMGP can keep the immense gold (#DCC232)?

Any other major alternative championships (F1RGP2C, REECCS) could have their own colours as well. That said, the REECCS should be red and gold, like the flag of Glorious And In Not Any Way Repressive At All Soviet Union Of Communist Greatness Against Capitalist Pigs Of Evil West.

Seeing as I've just designed a ton of logos for Viking Racing, I should do the same for the F1RMGP series. It'll take, probably, five minutes.
