FOTA Fan Survey

[Mazda Baiter]

Autosport said:

Formula 1 fans have been urged to let the sport's leading figures know exactly what they think of grand prix racing, and how it can be improved, in the biggest ever survey.

The Formula One Teams' Association (FOTA) has teamed up with electronics company LG and AUTOSPORT's sister publication F1 Racing to conduct the most in-depth research into how the sport can be made better.

The survey went live on Tuesday and can be accessed at: www.lgf1racingfansurvey.com

Available in 16 languages, fans will be asked for their opinion on favourite drivers, venues, how the sport's promotion can be improved, insight into how they follow the sport and what improvements they would like to see to improve the spectacle.

The results of the survey will be taken on board by FOTA and used as a blueprint for making F1 better in the future.

Andrew Barrett, the VP of Global Sponsorship for LG, said: "LG is delighted to be working with F1 Racing and FOTA to hear from F1 fans around the world.

"In everything LG does we place consumer insight at the heart of it, and we welcome the opportunity to learn more about what F1 fans want from their sport and sharing those views with people that help shape the sport."

As well as contributing opinion that could help make F1 better, everyone who completes a survey will have the chance to win $1000 worth of LG goodies.

It is pretty easy, just make sure which end is agree and which end is disagree!

Yep - IIRC it swaps ends at least once

I had to double check every time.

It's the sort of thing the FIA would do.

The survey just went on, and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on,and on

then I got bored after 50% and canned it..

Yeah way too long

[mattikake]

Huh? I got to "If the following were available to you how interested would you be in each of them?" which I was presented 5 OPTIONs so I gave them, and then despite changing several options that were not to me, it kept saying I could only answer 3 questions. ... but ... it ... was... an... option form...??? I have to list 5 of 5 options.

As a guy on a web design course, I decided to show my appreciation of such dickwadness by uploading a nice little virus to their site.

5 mins .. way past my attention span for a survey. Would never do one normally but as it was for F1 I was interested..

I got the same error - it was actually the question below which was at fault. They indicated the wrong question was at fault.. poor code really.

[crofty1984]

Christ that survey's boring. only halfway through.

[rednotdead]

crapped out on me with 'Processing' so binned it. Pretty poor survey in terms of layout and moving the options around.

It does that when you haven't filled in all the fields properly. It tells you in the tiniest red writing in the top left of the page.

The thing is, with people not bothering, is when nothing gets done, who are they going to blame?

+1

Plus the most disappointing aspect for me was that there was no 'free form' box to add comments at the end.

[Gillet]

They seem to have ignored some really important questions, and concentrated on "environmentally freindly" stuff, and who the sponsors are, i didn't even realise LG were sponsoring that survey untill it asks me, had no idea they had any links with F1.

If i was that bothered about the environment i wouldn't be an F1 fan.

They also still seem convinced that KERS was a good idea, where was the "what a waste of time and money that was" option.

[paulmurr]

Crapped out on me too, about half way through.
