Driver profiles (pics)

[phil-ray]

me and mel where talking last event about getting a driver profile section up and running. mainly of the regular udc guys but we could branch off to some of the ama guys maybe

so be prepared to get your photo taken at some point during the next ama / udc event.

its to make spectators know who is who out side of the car.

just a little warning to the drivers to get the comb and gel out for the next events :cool:

lol this could be embarrising

It will be done in the best possible taste, this is also a chance for the UDC drivers to promote them selves in relation the marketing their car, skills for furture sponsorship.

I think those head shots should be paired with a pic of their car, preferrably in action, but not necessarily. Possibly easier to get a cool pic in static position.

the possiblilities are endless, although it all depends on how you wish to do it, in what format, with what technology and who will be updating it!

lol you take a photo of me and my shiny dome will provide you with a nice flash back!

mel im happy to upload and maintain that section of the site if you can get a system up and running.

yea cars should be along side the pic but its the only link i could find of the D1 guys, on friday to show the type of pics of people i was after

i think the way it is done here is done well

i like the way that you can see all the drivers, then when you click on a driver's face, it gives you a bit of a biog about thereselves with a photo of there car in action, and driver specs down the right hand side, probably not that overly required, but still makes it look a hell of alot better!

darren mcnamara being one of the drivers from the south, though his profile is a bit on the small side compared to the likes of Rhys Millen's profile

kinda shows how it can be done good, and done very well, and tasteful to both degrees

and not hard to get the info from the drivers also, pen, piece of paper, and ask them the questions between there driving scessions etc, would not take to long

the other thing i have noticed is the driver pics are in current order of there standing in the championship, and change accordingly, yet again quite a nice small touch

Again, it depends on technology, spend time to build an application to handle this so any one can manage it, or do it by hand (basic HTML) which would be quicker in the short term.

Anyone else know a bit on programming to lend a hand?

[wayne]

Now THERE'S a question! Anyone?.........

[Nicky]

Id love to be of assistance, but I'm just getting used to adding pics in my posts :l: lol

[bibby]

im not overly good at the programming, but can set things up ok once a format has been started!

[mel]

Anyone, please.......... Wayne, do you remeber the wee app I had a few years ago which I was working on for the drivers results, maybe that would do?

@ Wayne.. have you been pressing buttons on the test site yet :mad2:
