It looks really good, I really like that I can watch your videos in full-screen now. I'm glad the features,breaking news and industry news has been broken up better, and that its all on the same plain.

Overall looks really good, no real complaints

Very well layed out and easy to use. Seems a lot smoother too for some reason.

Not sure if it's just the beta version but it seems to be really slow on my computer. Also, seems to be a typo or something...bottom right says "Quad Corner"?? Silly

Also noteworthy -- we'll be launching a full mobile site soon. It should work very well on hundreds of different devices. All video defaults to HTML5, so it's i-friendly, and it falls back on Flash for devices that can't handle HTML5.

The mobile Racer X Online will be very comprehensive. Anything you can do or see on the full site, you'll be able to do on the mobile site. We hope to open beta on it by tomorrow, but it may be early next week.

I'd prefer all the facebook / twitter / online poll stuff to be compressed in to a link tab so you have to click on that tab if you want to see all that stuff ( personally I dont ) rather than it taking up space on the page.

When I clicked on it it reminded me of the transworld site.

Looks good. Seems like it has more info towards the top of the page instead of off screen at the bottom.

250T's allowed in the lites class please. Okay, thanks!

The videos used to play on our work computer, but stopped about 5 weeks ago (of course a law enforcement computer limits computer videos). I can get the ones from TWMX to work though.

It's pretty cool - the videos are a bit of a struggle when blown up that big if you have a sub-standard computer or internet connection.

Hey Bryan, I was shocked enough when you signed up. Now call me really shocked. Wink

Looks good, i like the layout but it seems extremely slow compared to the other one.

I really like it much better than the current one.

One suggestion though: when you scroll over a tab, I really like how it pops up a window with the information for that tab, without having to go to a separate page, and the way it's presented with the options on the left, then latest update in the middle, and older updates to the right is really nice. However, when going from the full page width pictures on the main page to the pictures for the "latest" section of each tab, the pictures seem very underwhelming and unimpressive. You have twice as much space for text of previous updates than you do for the latest update. When you scroll over "Racing", for instance, you get the list of options on the left, then a small picture of the Yamaha Wake-Up Call from New Zealand and then a bunch of other text taking up half the pop-up page. I would make that pop-up page larger (i.e. taking up more space down the screen), put a larger picture of the latest information on the top and then older updates in a smaller section to the right or under the picture for the latest. Hope that makes sense.

Keep up the great work guys.


Oh and BTW, the electronic magazine is the greatest thing ever! LOVE the text feature in the Zinio edition.

Am I the only one who doesn't like the way the latest/top stories are displayed? That 6 item menu switch thing... I know a lot of sites are using this format but I hate it...

For whatever reason it's always a bit slow on my computer and I'd rather be able to read the big headlines right away than navigate through that menu... Overall it looks better than the old one but is not as convenient to get scoops quickly.
