Kyle Dell'Aquila's reminds me of Madmax. I'd saw that one is best.

Wow. A lot of really creative unique entries this time. And a lot of crappy red Ferrari's….AHHH!

Cacysunlee,
Thank you for the useful comment. I will look at this much closer. :)

To All,
I definitely realize that the contest has outgrown the format. I really underestimated this years response. Big changes to the format are in the works for Blender F1 Challenge #10 primarily related to the gallery display. Unfortunately, I am more of a designer than programmer but I am learning. ;)

But please, don't let the format stop you from submitting a vote. This years Challengers deserve it! Pino's suggestion above about using the Voteform for viewing seems a workable alternative to the main gallery interface.
I appreciate your patience.
Ciao for now.

BTW, Zoran's vehicle reminds me a Spitfire airplane :)

All flying vehicles must not be considered F1 cars. Hovercraft vehicles are ok, but the others, with flying abilities can avoid traces or can't follow traces perfectly (they can cheat), so does not fit into car racing requirements.

Conclusion: Zoran have a great vehicle and scene (I like it alot) but does not fit into theme.

Whoah! Lay off on the design will ya? It is hard to believe that so much criticism could be generated over a free service being provided to the community. Thanks for doing it Curtis!

+7 gustav – if you could actually click through the images instead of having to open each separately, it would be a lot easier. I had to force myself to do this. Though there were so many good entries!! Lots of scrolling (especially in the vote list, I had to use the browser search function a lot) just kills it somehow.
Anyway, the whhole thing is FREE and helps people get exposure – and probably is a lot of work for the F1 challenge guys, but as the thing grows, it might be worth reconsidering the design :)

Tip for those not liking the gallery. Head over to the voting form; http://www.blenderf1.com/voteform2009.htm. After each checkbox there is a link "image" that can be midclicked so you can preload every image. I think this mostly solves your issues.

I can only vote if I have seen them all, with this gallery that takes ages…
