I leave my PC (i7 2600K) on 24/7 and even though I might do a re-start, I NEVER turn if off. NEVER. I often have FSX Accel running and just minimize it, go surf forums, go to bed, wake up next morning and FSX is still there - minimized. Nothing 'bad' happens. Or has ever happend in the last 10 years. Just one of those things people don't understand - that it is better to leave PC on (idle) than to shut it off and subject it to HARMFUL temp changes and then to voltage/current surges when you turn it back on. Of course if you have a laptop things are 'done' different.

Thomson Road - http://www.racedepartment.com/downlo...nd-prix.13694/
Fast and dangerous :-
It is a street circuit, half of it a twisty old road through the jungle, and the other half a newer, straighter section. It was used between 1961 and 1973, when it was cancelled due to financial and safety issues. It was badged as the Orient Year Grand Prix, the Malaysian Grand Prix and finally the Singapore Grand Prix once Singapore gained its independence. It measured just over 3 miles in length, or 4.865km, and featured sections such as The Murder Mile (the main straight which had a hump halfway along its length which caused the cars to take off at high speed), The Snakes (a series of twists and turns as the track climbed up through the jungle) and Devil's Bend (the most dangerous corner on the circuit). Seven lives were lost in the circuit's 11 year history. There were no run-off areas, and most of the fast bends were surrounded by trees.

I remember when John Surtees ran amuck with this T70 in the Can Am!
This is something of a handful on the Ring but I guess it would have been so IRL.
