All,
By now you are all probably aware that we've had some scheduling turmoil recently with one of the servers crashing badly.
We have had some good news, and the light at the end of the tunnel, for once, is not an approaching train.
Both the servers will, by the middle of next week (week starting 30/03/09), be up and running. However the rebuilding will take place on Tuesday 31/03 (when we have an event scheduled - of course)
In the meantime, the single server resource we are running still forces some changes to our schedule, but hopefully nothing too drastic. The server we are all having to use does not have everything uploaded on to it that the one that crashed did.
Because of that, here are the changes to the schedule that I've proposed to the Server Admins which I think are more than reasonable considering the disruption we've suffered.
1. CotM Mustangs @ Hockenheim National Sat 28/03 to go ahead - Default skins only to be used
2. Escort v Capri @ Silverstone 88 Thu 02/04 - Postponed
3. All-In Sprints @ Nurburgring GP Tue 31/03 - Moved to Thu 02/04. My rationale for this is to run some default, easy to set up races while the new servers are bedding in, as we start our new CotM series on Saturday 04/04, and the first race requires both a new track and a skinpack.
I believe the above is a decent compromise which gives us some decent and varied events while not overloading server admins or being unreasonable with resources/demands.
If anything changes regarding the above scheduling, I will update you here as well as on the relevant event thread.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
