The window scrolls so fast at times that it is difficult to keep up - especially as many are treating it as a chat room, in spite of your notice that it is a Blog. Comments should relate to the session (practice or race), not to what underwear Fernando was wearing last week or "where can I find a link" or "I raced here on PSP" The site itself is fine Keith, just a little tidy up is all that's needed.

It would stop me from making rubbish jokes and make us work hard on our comments.

I think you can over "tweak" things sometimes, and that this basic format is very good. I think the Forum posts need reorganising and as we often see a rush of news, sometimes posts are missed, perhaps make the forum posts section on the home page larger or catagorised.
