First of all we would like to excuse us for the lack of updates. Since september, very much work has been done behind the scenes for infof1.com, so we are happy to announce a major change this summer.
We are aware of the current problems with the site, and therefore wish to introduce infof1, generation 2. It will include a close coöperation with f1technical.net, with the remaining of all current stats online. There isn't yet set a release date, but as soon as we have one, you will be informed about it.
In an attempt to keep you better informed, there has also been made a plan to structure things better, especially with the "all cars ever" and "all drivers ever" sections. You will have a better overview, and stats will be completed up until now.
If you have any suggestions or remarks, you are free to react to webmaster@intof1.com. There are also several opportunities to help us get this site on top of things, so if you wish to help, you are free to mail at the same address, without any obligation.
