    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.

Finally!!

Due to that fact that our '24 Hour Sports Network' runs repeats of everything at odd hours, I stumbled across the VIR Rolex round and finally watched a proper race out of the USA at a civilised hour!!
I still detest those dumb Daytona (NASCAR??) Prototypes but with several different chassis/engine combinations the racing was good, but the GT cars were even better.
I do like the way the Rotary engined cars are able to compete (brilliant sound!!) with the Porsche and BMW entries, but the best part of this coverage would have to be the circuit, fantastic layout in a beautiful environment.
One place I would really love to run the RS or even the Duke around for a day or three.
Commentary wasn't too bad either, but of course one of the team is an Aussie.
:ernae:
 
I was there at the South Paddock near the Oak tree Turn wombat. VIR is a curious course. The Grand Am and GT cars have to race the full 3.27 mile circuit. If they raced the shorter 2.25 North course only, the GT cars would beat the CP cars and that is not supposed to happen. But s'truth, DP cars are all about top speed only, given a twisty, short course and the GT car's handling would make them the favorite. It's a beautiful layout for a road course though, the bee's knees are the AMA cycle races, closest thing we have to MotoGP.
