  • 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.

2026 New F1 Car Design

Unimpressed!
100mm narrower and 200mm shorter.
The 50/50 power split makes no sense at all and the 'active aero' appears to be an unnecessary complication.
JV made much the same comments (I like JV, he tells it like it is!) and went further.
In his view if the ICU will be using 'sustainable fuels' then why bother with the battery pack?
Less weight and one less problem to worry about.
He was quite scathing about the 'push to pass' gimmick as well.
I still think my previous post about using an F2 type of car as a template stands up.

The sustainable fuel thing might be the reason we see manufacturers like Audi entering F1. The combustion engine might not be as dead as it seems at the moment. Domenicali even hinted at a return to just combustion engines if the sustainable fuel thing works out.

Trading in DRS for a 'push to pass' system' and active aero? Not sure about those, time will tell.
30 Kilo's lighter is only a start, should be at least 100 IMHO.

Yah, it seems to me that F1 appears to get more like IndyCar with each new rules change....
Or am I incorrect?
