opps Egon I must have missed uploading that result I should have it done by tomorrow.

Thanks for that one

[quintin cloud]

All fixed Egon the results should all be online, Btw I have also uploaded the South Afrrican 2 seater result aswell.

[quintin cloud]

Well it has been quiet some tome since I have done a major update to my webpage, and here it is
1936 results have been uploaded to the internet, as well as the Minor race, Voiturette results.
The 1940 and 1941 results and tables have also been updated.

A BIG Thanks must go out to Gerrit Stevens for his help in the update and Leif for the AIACR Drivers table.

The 2004 season results and table has also been updated and checked so there should not be any problems there ;)

Why do you have "3 Litres Supercharged , 4.5 Litres un-supercharged" as the formula for your "unofficial" championships for 1934 thru 1937 seasons?

[quintin cloud]

The Main reason is to keep the pages in inline with current day motor racing, if you look at Voiturrette reuslt they will show that racing was done with 1.5 Litre car with no Supercharges, and Cyclecars were 1100cc and smaller.

Quintin,
What our friend is trying to say is that 1934 -37 was the period of the 750kg formula and the 4.5 litre u/s 3 litre s/c formula only came in in 1938.

HI Guys

I have now fixed the above issue up, now 1934 to 1937 will read that the racing was 750 kg racing formula, I have also updated the 2005 tables to show what is currenty happening aswell.

Quintin, please change "trail" to "trial" for 1894 Paris Rouen.

[Kvadrat]

Grosvenor Grand Prix link (http://members.fortu...949/1939gro.htm) doesn't work.

I think 'Voiturette' name isn't correct for all the thirties because at that time these cars were called simply '1500 cc', weren't they?

[David McKinney]

They were still called voiturettes in the 1930s

[Macca]

Quintin, in the 1966 season summary it says that Stewart escaped from his crashed BRM at Spa just before it caught fire.

It didn't catch fire; Stewart was released from the car by Graham Hill and Bob Bondurant after being trapped for half-an-hour.

I don't have many sources, but there's no any mention of voiturette at all in what I have. All sources refer to '1500 cc' or 'light car'.

[quintin cloud]

Ok all fixed up, both South African results now work.

Kvadrat they are in fact the same thing but two different names.

At one time there was light cars, voiturette and cyclecars racing in minor races in there own classes and later there became less entryies and from there they changed rules to make numbers. some of the races were sometimes support races to Grand Prix events.

[quintin cloud]

Hi guys

Finally the 1948 Grand Prix results is now on the web. Thanks must go out to Gerrit Stevens.

Some News, after picking up lots of ad related issues in how the page is showing itself to the world, I have finally had enough of the problems and I have now gone and enquired about hosting the page some where else, of which the webpage will be as of now on be at it's new address:

http://www.formula1results.co.za

The page is not yet active it should be in the next week or so, I know that there is some memebers of the TNF that make links to my webpage for specfic reuslts, I will be email you with the new links.

This wegpage will have NO ad's and I am going to give it a bit of a face lift, not to much just a bite fresh look.

I will let everyone know when it is all completed and moved across.

[quintin cloud]

Ok, it is offical the new url http://www.formula1results.co.za is now up and running,
If any one is using the old bookmarks please update, the old webpage location will still be running until the end of April.

[uechtel]

For some reason I have problems to reach the post-1950 seasons from the main page now. Maybe this is intentional as we are supposed to concentrate on the real historic epoches



Besides that your page is always a very helpful source everytime when I need a quick look up for a certain result. Thanks for all the work!

Ok.... when you mean post 1950 seasons, how and where are you going so that I can see where the bug is.

Thanks for the heads up uechtel

[uechtel]

The problem is, as you see on the left top of the page, that the links to the years from 1960 onward are "behind" the frame with the intorduction thread, but for some reasons I have no navigations bars any more there. I think I remember I used to have them in the older versions.

[Vitesse2]

Working fine for me on Firefox 11 beta 8 - including the scroll bars.

ok, what browser are you using? With IE3 onwards it is ok , the old netscape from 2.x - 7.x it is ok, i never tested it on googles browser, or Firefox.
The code is setup as standard html protocol.

[David McKinney]

I'm OK on Safari

The later years are hidden, but I can scroll across to reveal them (and open them)

[uechtel]

I am very embarassed, but it seems that I have been victim of the different monitor size and resolution settings I have in my office computer. Looking from my home computer with its lower resolution I have been used to see a scroll bar at the right of the frame



while with the higher resolution of my office PC the frame fits in its full height, so no scroll bar there.

So my error and my apologies for the confusion.
