    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.

They had a few demo races of F5000 at Melbourne during the F1GP weekend. Was great to see them going around again (if only on TV). Don't think they would compete with modern technology though. The combination of those huge back wheels, big engines and little front wheels just wants to make the go straight ahead. Would have liked to see and hear them at a track though.
 
Took me right back ........:jump:............ sitting in one is a bit of a culture shock with an auluminium tub that only comes up to hip height and one's feet in line or ahead of the steering rack!!
Some really serious racers in action as well.
 
McLaren M10B!
The best looking F5000 of the lot, and the tub for these cars were used as the basis of the contempory McLaren F1 cars.
This is 'Sandown Park' Tasman Cup round, 1970, Team VDS, Teddy Pilette driving.
