No, honestly, thank you very much for these statistics. Very interesting to see.

I checked the bottom of the list, the three worst entries were all 1930s Grand Prix crashes. I am disappointed by that, it was a tough project.
One could possibly conclude that, the longer entries are online, the more they've been clicked. (*surprised Pikachu*)
The 1930 Crashes are extremely valuable. But probably not to the majority of (modern) motor racing fans. On the other hand, those who actively search for pictures from that era will cherish them even more.

Thank you.
But...
Can you tell me the views about the entries I posted here? Particularly, the Tordi/Buscherini ones.

Not too bad for a relatively niche accident. The number of views last month was 11 each for both entries, so it seems more people have viewed them this month.

Thanks a lot for that.
I hope I didn't ask too much...

Someone shared the Neil Bonnett Talladega wreck from 1993 on the NASCAR reddit and it has over 500 Upvotes so I’m guessing that’s gonna have alot of hits at the moment.

We have a new host now, so I will let you know. If The Stig from Top Gear is emailing us, that must be good right?

Some entries don't show up on a Google Images search, though.
Like this:

And...
Can you tell me the views of this entry, please?

If the stats are correct, then 82 clicks in August.
What do you think of that?

It's good, even if it can't be found on Google Images.

Absolutely
I feel the CPdB is perceived completely differently throughout the motor racing community. Which was certain to all of us from the getgo.
What do you think about advertising it a bit more?

How shall we advertise it? Even if famous people have given it their blessing, photo companies have not, so I'm still a little worried

I'm surprised nobody asked to remove anything yet.
Let's hope it continues like that...

Yeah I hope so too! Very much hoping that the big photo companies realise we are doing them a favour, rather than doing them out of money
