    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.

'USF1 - Car Without A Wind Tunnel'

Will be interesting to see how the CFD designed cars will do!
Nick Wirth is a pretty capable designer; his '95 Simtek F1 car wasn't bad, but there was no money to develop it. His Acura prototypes seem to do well in the ALMS series.

Ah...wind tunnel would be a good place to start spending a few pennies - from the outset.
 
I never thought much of the Bodine Bros. as drivers, but Geoff Bodine changed the world of bobsledding forever. His sled, designed and tested in a wind tunnel, caused every other sledding body in the world to redesign their sleds to catch up, which they did.

So maybe old Peter needs to get in touch with Geoff Bodine and get a wind tunnel to test the cars. Maybe they should have Geoff look over them and do a redesign.
