Not everything's ready, not all is looking or working fine. But that's it: we are now Autosport-Atlas

So like Sauber-Petronas & Cooper-Climax, Atlas are the engine behind the Autosport machine?
EDIT: I think it looks superb. Split up into sections - no pop-ups
Hmmm... need a rant... um.. there should be more orange on the page.

These are minor concerns though and I would assume I'll get used to them in time.
edit: I just found the F1 homepage. Think I'll make that my first port of call then!

And the price is that we no longer have the latest postings on the fora; this I really miss.

I wish the Autosport Atlas logo was a clickable link to the main page. It's such a big target, it's easier to click there and jump back to the main page.

1) MAKE SURE YOUR BROWSER ACCEPTS COOKIES FROM AUTOSPORT-ATLAS.COM
2) If you have been registered or subscribed to Autosport.com - give it a few minutes. We are fixing this error right now.

For all the people who can't log in, are you definitely using your email address rather than user name to log in?
Yes. Can't log in using e-mail address. Also received nothing when querying for the password through e-mail.

I am looking forward to enjoying the new site once it's gathered some momentum and all the bugs are worked out.

7 advertisement banners on the front page????
And we're back to scrolling I see. AtlasF1 was one of the first sites to utilize 1024x768, which was great. Now it isn't even 600 pixels wide and the extra space is taken by banners, the result is having to scroll down to read the news........

If my Atlas subscribtion was up for renewal now, I wouldn't renew it...I may get used to by January, but right now, it looks cheap & horrible...the attempt to more or less directly mix Autosport and Atlas' sites is pretty dire.

First impressions count when it comes to websites, and mine was 'I love it!'. Congrats Bira (and team). I look forward to poking around and watching it evolve.

So do I need to use my Autosport login? I don't remember that...does this make my Atlas login useless now?

That's what's happening to me. I figured there would be an Atlas login field for us die hards

Anyway, it looks good, the site that is.

Now, I have a small issue. I have NFI what e-mail I first used to register at Atlas, I never use it as Atlas worked on the username theory, not the e-mail theory. As a result, i can't login.
So i checked the e-mail I have registered at Atlas through this BB and it does not work, it still says "Invalid E-mail". So where do I go from here??
'Fisti is a bit lost.

Not that I've found too much to frown about thus far, but I am a perfectionist (and by gosh I'm not the only one around here...).

Maybe it is an interim design?
I wish the site luck... I come and go from it... my subscription will lapse when it is due for now. I just don't feel its worth it any longer; my interest in motorsports ebbs and flows quite regularly and I just don't find myself reading the articles enough to stay on. That's no fault of anyone at Atlas, to be fair.

I can only hope that the page design is done by the same person that did autosport, and you have the good sense to change it. Doesn't take much, just use the whole goddamn page to get rid of that cluttered mess. Is that too much to ask?
Please, get rid of the unnecessary margins and free the space for the site. And the front page is a mess, too.
Oh, and it looks like there it's not a "magazine" anymore, just a news page. That was the weakness of autosport against atlas. Apart from the horrible and cluttered layout.
But please, consider removing the margins from the sides of the page and the top and using the whole page, just like atlasf1. This was the reason behind autosports crap interface and you seem to have carried it over.

And I too hate this business of new windows; God knows how many are no open on my computer.
