Some guys in MMSC stream noticed that RaceAuthority webpage is working again, and its true... Anyone explain it please.

Might just be a random reason why it's open, but maybe something is going on. Time will show

Arrrgh! Don't get excited guys.. I needed to turn the site back on temporarily, so that I could show it to some of my potential clients. I'm touting for web development work at the moment and the CTRA site is a pretty useful site for demonstrating some of the things that I do.

It doesn't mark the relaunch of the CTRA. I would dearly love to, but the CTRA is much too time-consuming to run properly.
It would worth it though, but its your decision

Who cares? i know that quite a few people put a lot on hours racing into CTRA and to see your name up there after all this time is quite satisfying. Especially coz no one can catch up

someone in the german forums said that he knows that there is some work and that the owner of CTRA has changed, but he's not allowed to tell more...

Page saved for posterity. Something to show the kids (not that I've got any...or plan to )

The wobble mostly affects much lower licenses than yours, targeting the more casual rather than the most enthusiastic CTRAers. It's enough to undermine the quality of the data so that scraping would be useless while still serving up stats to be proud of for those people that have stats to BE proud of. I thought carefully about how to implement the wobble
