To all F1 fans,

I'm currently under-taking some research on the British Grand Prix which should help us in the world of economics, and those in senior roles within Formula One to understand what fans want from the British Grand Prix. If you could take 2 minutes to fill in the questionnaire posted on the link below, it would be greatly helpful.

If the link isn't a direct hyper link, copying and pasting this into your address bar will do the trick.

Thankyou ladies and gents!

Kind Regards,

Had some really useful information from other forums! Hoping this can provide the same information!

Get cracking guys and girls

I've been to Silverstone 18 times, no 19 if you count a Moto GP, but you see you've now confused me with copying and pasting requests maybe I'll have a look in the morning when the wines worn off

[B.Brusby]

Sorry, what do you mean I've confused you with copying and pasting requests? Haha, nothing wrong with having a few glasses of wine and filling in questionnaires.... I suppose :')

[racechick]

Well I've now filled it in. Age? Why does age have to be an essential question??? Anyway. Good luck with the research! Silverstone is brill!! Not sure the questionaire brought that out. It's amazing!!!

[B.Brusby]

Thank you very much for filling it in! appreciate you taking the time. The demographic questions (such as age) are just to help me identify if there are any trends between the age of people, and the consumption method they use.

Thanks again!

We're now almost at the recommended amount of responses for a reliable quantitative piece of research! Mostly, thanks to the users of this forum!

All you taking the time to fill this in, it really is appreciated! Keep them coming, last hurdle now.

Many, many thanks!

...recommended amount of responses for a reliable quantitative piece of research!...

Out of curiousity, how many is that?

I filled it in,

Hi Sagi, the recommended amount for a reliable quantitative study is 100 + responses currently on 71, so almost there.

Ryry, thanks for taking the time! You're help will go a long way

Thanks everybody!

100? I guess that makes sense, as it's easy to calculate percentages!

If I get the chance I'll fill it out, but I have no idea where you are getting the figure of 100 as being the figure needed to make it a reliable quantitative piece of data. Reliability of quantitative research is not simply based on the amount of responses; acceptable reliability of quantitative data depends on what margin of error you're happy to live with, and can only be calculated if you know the rough number of the overall population you're trying to represent. Even then, this is only part of the story. If this is for an academic piece of work I'd be careful to ensure you can justify your logic in choosing the nice round figure of 100 for a number of responses to aim for.

Zurich_allan: I understand what you mean in terms of identifying the total population of who you're aiming at to distinguish what represents a reliable piece of quantitative research. However, is anybody realistically going to able to identify how many Formula One fans there are in the world? I suppose that can be left to speculation. Also, you probably wouldn't have known this from the forum thread, but this is only an undergraduate piece of research so there is not as much pressure to gain thousand upon thousands of responses. Also, I had to consider the ethics involved with the research and I would have to go through all sorts of clearances if I wanted to get more than 400 responses.

On another note, I would be greatly appreciative if you could find the time for this questionnaire as I feel you're feedback would be really interesting!

Thanks for your post,

Yeah, identifying the true population in that sense would be tricky. I suppose it would be possible through compiling worldwide television ratings at least as a guide, but if it is for an undergraduate dissertation there's probably not too much of a requirement as long as you have a healthy sample size and display when writing up that you have factored in the margin for error and so acknowledge the limitation of your research. That's what I would tell my students anyway. I tried to access the questionnaire through my phone a moment ago, but it isn't showing up properly. Will do it using either my laptop or work computer tomorrow when I get the chance.

[B.Brusby]

To be honest, I really hadn't even considered including the margin for error. I certainly will now, thanks for that! Really appreciate the feedback. Ok, no problem. Once again, I appreciate you taking the time to help me out.

Kind Regards
