motorsport_websiteJust about finished my motorsports calendar. I've added options for links, mostly aimed at the BBC website, which have highlights of previous races, but no logical way of finding them, so this should keep them all together. I opened the ability to post links to anyone, but left them invisible until I approve them, so the page doesn't get abused by dirty spammers.

Other than adding links, the whole thing is automated, after the initial entering into the database of the various events. This also means it's very easy to include another series I may decide to watch, or if one is requested by anyone. The calendar counts down to the next event, and automatically produces iPlayer links when available, and removes them after 7 days, when they are deleted.

It needs tidying up, especially on the style front, both visually and code (I added inline styles rather than using up the main stylesheet, when I should have really added a unique stylesheet for it but realised too late as I expanded it), but for now it does its job.
