    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.

F1 Cult Heroes

Pretty strange selection Ed.
Gilles Villeneuve, Kimi Raikkonen, Ronnie Peterson, Dan Gurney, Jean Alesi and maybe James Hunt are on my list, but the rest are 'not quite right'.
:redfire:
 
Nigel Mansell deserves to be on the Cult list.... He created his own 'Cult' following with his style and his accomplishments on-track.
After F1, his 3rd place finish in his Rookie drive at the Speedway was legendary. He was the epitome of Guts & Grit!! I was lucky enough to see Mansell win his first Oval race in Milwaukee '93. There was never a doubt in his two years in CART that he was a force to be reckoned with. A driver I will always respect.

Possibly the most ill mannered, ignorant and thoroughly unpleasant man I have EVER spoken too!
And dumb as a bag of hammers into the bargain.
Almost every driver in the CART round at Surfers Paradise were great ambassadors for the series and their countries, shame Mansell was the one spoiler.
Mario Andretti made a telling comment on Mansell, he could never understand why the who man made such a great start in his first season of CART just lost interest and contributed nothing to the team in the way of development second time round.
You want a cult hero?
Mario Andretti is right up there with the best.
