Sounds like this will be part-time for lots of people, which may make it difficult to keep it up-to-date with too much information. Because of this I would be wary of trying to run before you crawl. Entry details are simple - a link to the right place on the organiser's web site, for sale details could be good, but would need to be very regularly updated (another source of income maybe?), forum and billboard - isn't that the same, basically this place? Live MST times I would think would be quite expensive (and besides, are many people really going to watch other regional championships live on MST?) Reports would be simple enough - get someone along to the races, and write stuff - but this would have to be impartial, not influenced by championship organisers. Another thing that was mentioned was pictures - that could be good, but you'd need to find a photographer for each championship that could supply same-day photos to the site in an alright size, perhaps they could then sell the full-size ones through the site? |

1.) Ian, PM's have been sent.
2.) If a few people from each championship are included as suggested so there is multiple people there and then 1 of them updates it it should be fine. 3.) I know Jeff Glendall from www.autoimages.co.uk covers all the combe races and a few other ones I am sure there is at least 1 photographer for each area that is a regular, if not more. 4.) Live times may be a bit essesive, but qualifying times and race times post race along with the report would be good enough to show people the pace and paint a picture along with the images. Failing all this, if each championship just develops its own website, you could use the URL as a hub for accessing formula ford links ? |

Everyone is making good points. In response to Paul Rayner in particular - yes, we're aware it's a massive task which is why we're not launching into it without thinking about feasibility.

If you mean were people discussing the club and website - not as far as I'm aware. This (the website) was an idea Redracer57 was keen on and I was happy to support him in. Bringing it to Ten Tenths was the natural progression.

Wow! The start of this thread caught my attention with what is a good idea. It sounds good to get a website up and running along with a club. The initial cost was a couple of thousand pounds. We now seem to be talking £10K-£12K. Do we believe this cost is realistic or will it be more like £50K on completion? Is there noone out there with the experience of web design that will be a less expense?

*First time have read this thread!*
It seems an exellent idea, it can raise awareness, and report races. Not only that we could build in a how-to section to help peolple less techically minded, i.e a resourse for an FF1600, or propctive racer. If a club was forme with a joining fee of £20-£30 say, and we could get 200 members in the first year (realistic) then tis will go some way to capital investment in the website. We really need a tie-up with companies such as DT, Avon tires, Mintex etc, with discounts to members to make it viarable for the member, this coupled with the "backup" for other members, and a website could make it a must for any FF1600 team owner, or competitor. |

The historics have their own,
www.historicff.org.uk this is designed only to give an outline of what the championship involves, not a race collaboration/administration site. Besides we are mainly polishers, who turn up to let the racer boys think they are quick !!!! JW |
