    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.

Massa's condition is improving

Hey All,

I saw this this AM on CNN - talk about bad luck - a spring from a car (his teammate?) in front hitting his helmet hard enough to apparently fracture his skull... hitting the wall was probably not that bad compared to the spring - man - I hope he recovers well.

Being somewhat facetious maybe F1 needs to smarten up - put fenders on and windshields in front call themselves NASCAR Europe and go on racing!

Don't know about fenders ed. They can't get those wheel fairing things on without braking a wheel off....(Alonso).

The spring was from Rubens (Brawn GP).
Here is a video which shows everything: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MgVjMkKx5U&fmt=22

He was unconscious after he was hit by the spring and he was standing on the throttle and brake.
There will be always a risk, no matter what they do and something like that is very unlikely. It's only scary that it happened one week after the tragical death of Surtees.
