About fifteen seconds after a race ends, you guys have a news article up with the winner's name in the headline. It takes about two weeks for NASCAR to upload its races to youtube, so the only option I have to avoid getting spoiled is just not browsing the news page.

 

Is there any way to filter news for certain series? I know you can show all indy news, dtm news, etc, but is there a way to show everything but NASCAR and indy news? If not, is there any chance of it being added?

Don't go on a news site if you don't want to know news, simple

It's currently possible to access pages for a few individual series (we've got plans to roll this out soon so that you can do it for every series in the near future):

 

http://www.autosport.com/f1/

http://www.autosport.com/wtcc/

http://www.autosport.com/wec/

 

We've also got plans for the longer term around being able to better customise the homepage to choose which series you show. This would have to be done in advance - otherwise by the time you get to the page to try to get rid of a series the headline would already be showing below!

 

It's very tough to work out a way to avoid spoilers on a news site. As there are so many people who want to see the name of the winner as quickly and clearly as possible when they come to the site, there's not much that we can do to protect anyone who comes to our site and wants to avoid that information...

Thanks for that Grayson.

 

I'll be looking forward to the front page updates! It'll be nice to be able to keep up with everything, and just disable the series I have to watch on delay the day before the race is run.
