@Brad P Looks good...
My suggestions are below,
1. What do you think abouth that change to node icon with
fa-flag-checkered
https://fontawesome.com/v4.7.0/icon/flag-checkered/
2. Countdown for home page like this,
View attachment 174437
3. And maybe just a little touch to body background: (You can use F1 circuit png for each F1 race
start with Barcelona-Cataluny)
