What timing... This is unfortunately a totally separate issue with our hosting provider. Their datacenters are having failures today with servers going offline and one of our servers got hit.
We will restore races from 1pm GMT to run within a few minutes on another server. Earlier races will need to be postponed.
Update: We have now performed all necessary intervention to get the service running normally for those whose races were set to run on the affected server. Normal service is resumed.
Here is the message from our hosting provider:
datacenter
According to current knowledge, there was a power failure at 11:00 am in the DC7, DC10 + DC12. The consequences was a failure of the core networking equipment at the site, which led to a short-term outage of the entire network connectivity in Datacenter park location.
In the meantime, the power supply in the three affected data centers could be provisionally restored (without UPS protection).
The cause of the failure was a strong voltage reduction in the local power grid. Why it has caused a power failure despite our UPS backups, is still under investigation. Currently, the restoration of the secure operation has top priority.
Our technicians are in the process of determining how many servers need to be manually checked after the power interruption.
Also, I've just updated the schedule for 'International F1 League' and 'formule 1 league'. The races will happen tonight/tomorrow.
