About
FlatSpot.club is an independent home for Formula 1 history – built for fans who love the sport not just for what is happening now, but for everything that led to it.
This site exists because Formula 1 has an incredible history, and great stories deserve to be easy to find, easy to understand, and fun to explore. FlatSpot.club brings together important races, memorable debuts, technical turning points, remarkable people, forgotten moments, and the kind of details that make the sport richer the deeper you go.
At its heart, FlatSpot.club is about discovering what happened in Formula 1 on this exact date – and using that as a doorway into the wider story of the sport. Some readers come here to look up a quick fact. Others arrive for context, nostalgia, or inspiration. The goal is to serve all of them with clear, useful, original content that makes Formula 1 history feel alive.
Join the club
FlatSpot.club is meant to be more than a website. It is meant to feel like a club.
The “.club” part matters. This is a place for readers who want to do more than just visit. Supporters can create an account to help the site grow and become part of the community around it. That can include commenting on posts, suggesting new article ideas, proposing “On This Day” events, taking part in polls about future topics, saving favorite pages, and getting member-focused updates as the project develops. Over time, the ambition is to make FlatSpot.club more interactive, more useful, and more community-driven – while still keeping the reading experience clean and enjoyable.
The creator
FlatSpot.club is created and run by Steffen Madsen, inspired by a simple combination: a love of Formula 1 and a love of building things on the web. That spirit still defines the project today. The aim is to build something genuinely helpful for readers who care about Formula 1 history, context, and storytelling. This is a long-term project, shaped step by step with care.
“I like Formula 1. And web development.”
– Steffen Madsen, Creator

Content creators
FlatSpot.Club is designed to be easy to cite. Each date has its own hub page, so the same URL works year after year when the calendar “comes around” again. That makes linking straightforward for media, blogs, and social accounts posting “On this day” content.
If you enjoy the site, you are welcome to join, support it, and help it grow. And if you spot an error, have an idea, or want to suggest something new, you are very welcome here too.
Because the best kind of Formula 1 history site is not just one you read.
It is one you return to.
