I was going to sit down and do a season review for 2024... but then I thought, 'What do I actually remember of the season?'.

Well, here goes... in no particular order other than my memory.

Lewis announces he's going to Ferrari.

The Christian Horner incident.

Adrian Newey leaving Red Bull rumors...  then he did.

Verstappen dominates the season and wins WDC.

Sergio Perez forgets how to drive a car.

Tire management.

Skipping Martin Brundle's grid walk anytime it came on.

Skipping Danica Patrick.

McLaren winning Constructor's title.

Lewis wins a race.

Carlos wins a race.

Stroll runs into things...

DRS / Flexi - gate.

Norris wins a couple.

Alpine got better.

Aston Martin didn't.

We have a new sponsor, Plastic Model Republic!

Check them out....

So folks might have noticed that some things have changed recently, mostly on the non-Forum section of F1M.

I've updated the software that runs that portion of the site.  Its was going to need to happen at some point, and I will also need to do another update but I can wait on that.  I removed some of the old content, things like the Hobby Shop list, updated other content, like the F1 Kit Database, and created a new feature, the Resources.  F1M members can add or update information in these sections, its moderated so I'll need to give it a check before the changes appear.

We're back online for the most part. 

Things will be a mess for a while.

The F1M Forums - forum.f1m.com - and F1M - www.f1m.com - are now completely seperate web sites.  Logging into one will not log you into the other. If you cannot log into the F1M Forums, go to https://forum.f1m.com/app.php/user/forgot_password to change your password for that site only.  Changing your password here will not affect your Forum account.

Also, I have disabled account creation on the F1M Forums for the moment while I work on bugs.

I might update this article with more information as things change or I find other items that need to be communicated.

The F1M Forums are now located at: https://forum.f1m.com/

This should fix the issues we've been having.  It has also been upgraded to the latest version.

I will post a bit more later.

Can anyone please tell me if the 1/24 Italeri Porsche 956 kit's plastic was designed by them, or is it a re-box of someone else's molds?  I know it's not the Tamiya kit, I have 3 of them, but would like to know both the source of the moldings, and if anyone has any experience with the kit and how it was to build.

Thanks very much, in advance.
