Special Server Maintenance
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.
- 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.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- 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.
Stefan Johansson drives the legedary [F1] Ferrari 156/85
- Thread starter Panther_99FS
- Start date
When my memory is still correct the Ferrari 156/85 wasn't a very successful car. I recall they had an awful lot of problems with the fragile engine, especially in the last part of the season. So I think the word "legedary" is a bit misplaced here (and misspelled?).
Stefan Johanson was definitely a talented driver, but he also had an unhealthy amount of bad luck. When he finally arrived in a car in which he could have shown his potential, he first had to remain in the shadow of the late Michele Alboreto (Italian driver in an Italian car) and later was in a team with the dominant Alain Prost, after which he was soon replaced by the very talented Ayrton Senna. Some guy just have bad luck.
Cheers,
Huub

If he had any luck at all Huub it was inevitably bad!
I still remember him hitting a fairly sturdy Deer at the proper Ostereichring (1987?) when he was with McLaren.
That car was comprehensively trashed as was the deer.
You're right about the156/85, not a happy car at all.
We have an example here in Oz, it appears regularly at the Philip Island Historics.
And I snapped a couple of images of it in 2019, complete with Stefan's name.
