[edit] alignment

I don't like how the template uses horizontal centering on several of its fields. See Mesa Marin Raceway for a particularly bad example. On my monitor I can't follow which field relates to which data. The template should have the field name at the top of the field IMHO. Why is it set to be centered?

It's based on the way the template the old F1 template worked, although I agree it would be much clearer if it was top aligned. AlexJ (talk) 15:22, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

I think the horizontal alignment was set because you start getting way too long on the template if you overhead the categories.Gateman1997 (talk) 17:18, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

I mean that the field names should be aligned straight across (to the left) from the top piece of data to its right. Royalbroil 17:27, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

I believe the image on the right shows the changes that Royalbroil is proposing. AlexJ (talk) 17:35, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Exactly. Thank you! Royalbroil 17:49, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Ah I see. The new one makes more sense. Gateman1997 (talk) 20:00, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

AlexJ, would you make the change since you appear to be versed in this template? Royalbroil 20:04, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

I would, except I can't see what bit of the template is making it do that! The image to the right was photoshopped to show what it should look like. Perhaps a post at WP:MOTOR is needed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by AlexJ (talk • contribs) 21:59, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
