Maybe a random or alternate background image behind the search bar?

XBOX SUCKS!
It would be nice if we can get different images of race cars on the main header behind the Search bar. Any web master can put several images into a folder, and create a php that would randomize/alternate between images every time a page loads up.

It's a suggestion, though. If no result, I won't pressure you. Thanks!
 
It is, mate ;)
Try refreshing the page, or exit your browser. I don't know how much is changes, but it does.

It was like that on GTP9(previous version), my guess is it's easier on the servers only having to load one image so he changed it for GTPX(current version).

It did with the last version of GTP, but now it's solid with the Lexus race car.
 
The image no longer cycles. It appears that the first one that loads is the only one you get until you leave and come back.

Edit: Looks like it's another case of Jordan caching things to ease server load.
 
Yeah, there's an Enzo, the 458/Enzo/Viper, Orange HPA TT, SLS AMG, Lexus SC430 Super GT, and a Viper. That's what I think.

And that's not true TB, I had the 458 Italia, then clicked back to the Forums and got the SLS.

Really? I'm just getting the Enzo. It sounds like what TB said.

Yes. really. Then I came back to this thread and it was the 458.

Then, while writing this post, I had the SC430 Super GT, and when it was posted, I had the Dodge Viper.

I'm actually already doing that, but it doesn't work as you expect because the images are being served from a network of content delivery servers around the world, and a certain image may get "stuck" in the cache for a while. In this situation, a better solution would be to randomize the images via JavaScript, but it's never really bothered me enough to tinker with it.

For fun, see what happens when you try refreshing the image directly on GTP's server and from the CDN network.
