    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.

I really like that circuit!!
Shame the idiotic regulations only allow restricted use of the letter box slot on the rear wing, it would increase overtaking to an acceptable degree.
Very interesting news regarding Newscorp and 'A.N.Other' wanting to buy into the F1 ownership.
:kilroy:
 
No matter what you think of the "look" of the current crop of cars, I'm always struck by how immaculately they are prepped.
The parts are beautifully made too.
When they leave the pits for the first time, they gleam as if they just left the floor of some motor show.

Hats off then, to the lads who can overnight turn this

Bernie Ecclestone said:
There have been so many rumours out there lately and I go along with Colin Chapman - why spoil a good story with the truth?
 
Remember the Schumacher/Senna - Benetton/McLaren Ford fiasco....I wonder if that situation exists today...:ques:
 
Hmmm....
I wonder if Ferrari is eyeing Nico Rosberg to replace Massa...:ques: :monkies:

I'm sure every driver on the grid wants to be in a Ferrari, but no one wants to be the #2 next to Alonso.. The ones that want to be, do not deserve that seat anyway! :icon_lol:

Yep, beautiful pieces of engineering! Every part is as strong, aerodynamic and light as it can be.
 
Tried to record it, but the crappy dvr (My second, the first was even worse!) only recorded the first forty minutes of the pre-show and GP2 races.. Had to buy the race from my provider to see it..

Note - D'Ambrosio qualified 20th but penalised five grid places for ignoring yellow flags in second practice. Kobayashi failed to set a Q1 time within the 107% requirement but allowed to race at stewards' discretion.
 
Kobayashi had some practice runs inside the 107% so they decided he wouldn't hold up the traffic too much.
I'll say...
Just like Webber in China, a full set of fresh rubber made all the difference, with a points finish!
