  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

-With the new rules, looks like the grid will be "reset" - it will be interesting to see which team is on top after the first 5 races!
-Red Bull beginning to look like a whole new team.....?
-Can Williams take it to the next level?
-Both LeClerc and Hamilton really didn't seem comfortable in the 2025 car....Was Ferrari concentrating on 2026?
-Cadillac......(And I do love Bottas on a side note :))
 
FE driver Lucas Di Grassi reckons the new Gen4 FE car, with 4WD and 600 hp will be faster around tracks like Monaco than a 2026 F1 car..
 
All major racing series - NASCARE, F1, "Indycar", GT - suffer the same fate as other sports. Once sponsorship steps in everything becomes secondary to marketing, merchandising, and profit. If you want to enjoy actual racing attend local club events and vintage races, a weekend costs a tenth as much and is ten times more interesting.

F1 has claimed to be a "test bed" whose technology trickles into street cars. Pray tell - what is the relevance of "push to pass" technology on real world cars?

Hmmm...To be a kid now and karting still requires sponsorship.....I know of 2 kids in karts that are really trying to hustle just to sustain their racing....
 
Running the entire second sector with only half power... Spa really showed how flawed the current rules are..
