Some owners of the rare Ferrari 288 GTO met to drive their beauties on the legendary N??rburgring Nordschleife. Withe plenty of prancing horses hitting the track, the cold and windy fall day in the Eifel mountains turned...
Due to some malfunction in the script, the poll was automatically closed at the 200. vote instead of 48hrs. It happened while I was sleeping so my apologies to those who were not able to vote. I think the trend of the...

Unfortunately, the RSC forum is still down. The latest bit of info is that the RSC team has isolated the exact problem with the database and is busy fixing it. Meanwhile, the? members of the busy RSC leagues are asked to make their way to the RPM forums where the league activity has been relocated until the forum is back up.
As some of you might have noticed, the RSC forum is currently on the fritz. After a hardware failure in the data center, the RSC crew is busy on getting it up and running again. The data is restored as we speak, a process that takes longer than initially expected.
“The RAID arrays are having to be rebuilt from scratch, and the data recovered manually, due to the datacentre causing us some extra problems on top of the initial hardware failure.? We are unsure of the ETA of a completed solution.? We will update this information as soon as we have a better estimate available.”
That’s the latest bit of info, to keep up to date about the situation visit racesimcentral.com
