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.
- 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.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- 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.
BMW Hints At Possible Arrival To NASCAR As New Manufacturer

Why would BMW even consider such a parochial series?
The NASCAR 'Target Audience' are just not into the BMW niche, BMW don't build 'Trucks' and they seem to be fixated with the EV market.
Maybe it's BMW USA clutching at straws, but let's not forget that BMW jumped (or last I looked) ship from the expensive domestic DTM.
Smoke and mirrors IMHO!

Audi will leave at the end of the year, leaving BMW the sole manufacturer in DTM. BMW officials said they don't want to be alone, so they will most likely leave as well, which means DTM's death.

They have built a prototype, so who knows? And committing into Cup Series doesn't mean they will have to run trucks as well.

Interesting.....
That being said, having BMW enter NASCAR IMHO would definitely up the "interesting" factor. I guess how the 2022 NASCAR "car" pans out (which as I understand it, is heavily based on the Australian Supercars model) will dictate a BMW decision....
