GPG Nations Cup Rd 4 Chinese GP – Race Day
Part 1
Hello once again, and welcome back to Shanghai. We are now set for the start of what should be a cracking race. San Marino took pole position, and starting next to them on the front row will be New Zealand. Behind them on the second row will be Monaco and China. Who will be our winner after 36 laps of racing? I guess we’ll find out later as the RD is now ready to get this race underway.
Weather Report
The cars have returned from their warmup lap, and we are now ready for the start. San Marino is on pole, with New Zealand starting alongside, and Monaco and China behind on the second row. Once all 5 lights go out, we will be underway.
The race is go!
De Boer in the Netherlands car looks to have made a good start, and is already trying to find a way past both Tafuro and McGregor.
Unfortunately for the Dutchman, he has no choice but to stay behind the two.
The pack is all close to each other as they negotiate their way through the Spiral.
Ihara in the Japan car looks to have been involved in an incident that has also involved Nikolov in the Bulgaria car.
As the replay shows, there was contact made between Ihara and Nikolov, sending the Japan car spinning out, and the Bulgaria car airborne.
Nikolov was able to make it back onto the ground without any damage occurred, even if it is in the sandtrap.
Fortunately, both cars are able to continue on.
Scott Dixon in the New Zealand car is our current race leader.
Tung in the China car is doing his best to keep close to Grimaldi in the Monaco car while also defending from Tafuro in the Italy car.
It looks like there has been contact between Aspenstrom in the Sweden car and De Boer in the Netherlands car.
The contact sends the Sweden car wide, and Aspenstrom ends up losing the position to De Boer while recovering.
Back to the front, and it seems Silvestre in the San Marino car has lost second place to Grimaldi in the Monaco car.
Aspenstrom has lost even more positions since going off not too long ago.
The replay shows that he had ran wide on the exit of the hairpin.
Dixon in the New Zealand car takes the fastest lap.
Taytoh in the Ireland car wants his chance to try and get by Aspenstrom, but he isn’t able to make it by.
As a result, Hatfield in the UAE car has managed to close in closer onto the back of the Ireland car.
Behind him however, is a train of cars just waiting to make a move.
1.5s currently separates first and second.
McGregor in the Australia car now sits in front of the Italy car.
Tung and Silvestre look set to drag each other down to the hairpin.
Tung wins the drag, and slots into 3rd.
McGregor meanwhile just watches on.
According to the timings, Keranen in the Finland car has managed to get by both Kederer in the Germany car and Domenech in the Argentina car.
It’s very close between Kuei in the South Korea car and Paddock in the Great Britain car.
Here is how the current top 10 have moved since the race start.
Ihara in the Japan car has managed to close the gap between herself and Nikolov in the Bulgaria car.
With the race now 3 laps in, let’s take a look at the current standings.
Silvestre in the San Marino car looks to have lost another position, this time to McGregor in the Australia car.
He tries to fight back, but is unable to retake the position.
Dixon again takes the fastest lap.
Domenech in the Argentina car has slipped back to 22nd.
We ride onboard with Tafuro in the Italy car as he chases down Silvestre in the San Marino car.
It’s looking likely that we may see a passing attempt soon from the Italian.
Further back, Cremasco in the Brazil car is doing his best to close in onto the back of the Netherlands car.
Tafuro has managed to get by Silvestre.
From first to sixth within 4 laps is not what Silvestre and Team San Marino would’ve had in mind.
McGregor and Tafuro have both moved up a position. What has happened to the China car?
The replay shows that there is a trail of smoke coming from the back of the China car, which had caused Tung to slow down slightly and allowed cars to get by.
All the drivers behind Tung will need to take caution.
Which to the looks of it they have managed to do so.
Tung finally pulls off to the side of the track and retires from the race with a Water Leak. He’ll be gutted with this result.
Back to the action, and it looks like Taytoh could be in a bit of trouble.
He manages to continue on, but it looks like De Boer in the Netherlands car was caught up in the process.
From what the replay shows, it appears that there was contact made between Taytoh and Cremasco, which caused the Brazil car to run into the back of the Netherlands car, sending De Boer wide.
No doubt De Boer will be slightly annoyed by what had just happened.
Aspenstrom and Hatfield look to be engaged in their own battle.
Which is won by the Swedish driver.
Silva in the Portugal car is next in line to take on Hatfield.
Domenech in the Argentina car has managed to catch up to the back of the Bulgaria car.
Let’s take a look at the current standings.
It’s time for our first break of the coverage. We hope to be back soon.

Team China
Such a shame to see Cheng retire from the race in such a strong position. For our home race, it's not only a crushing blow for us, but for the fans as well who all came to see us do well. We'll regroup and hopefully be back stronger in the next race.

Girard has managed to get by Silvestre, and the timing shows that Briere in the Canada car has taken to the pits for his stop.

Not bad. A spin, & yet almost caught up to where we qualified. Hope Ihara drives well without further incident. Maybe points are possible if a high attrition rate

Part 3
Welcome back once again.
Silva in the Portugal car is looking for his move on Silvestre down the straight, and looks to have made the move stick.
Behind them, De Boer is looking for his chance to get by Kederer.
But wait, Keranen in the Finland car is looking to make a move on both the Netherlands and Germany cars.
The Finland driver goes up the inside.
And succeeds in getting by, while De Boer was able to get by Kederer.
It seems Ihara in the Japan car was able to take advantage of the situation by gaining a position off Kederer.
Not contempt with passing Kederer, Ihara looks for a passing move on De Boer, and succeeds in getting by the Netherlands car.
De Boer decides to try and gain his position back from Ihara.
But is unable to do so, and ends up losing ground to the Japan car.
It’s getting close between the cars near the rear of the field.
Silvestre looks to be in danger of losing another position, this time to Keranen.
The Finland car succeeds in getting by, leaving Silvestre sitting in 13th.
Still not much is happening out at the front of the field.
We have a battle on our hands between Cremasco and Aspenstrom.

Silva looks to have slowed up a bit, which has allowed Cremasco to retake his position back, and now gives Keranen a chance to make a move.
Cremasco manages to hold Keranen back, but isn’t out of the woods just yet.
Being in 14th is not what Silvestre would be wanting right now.
At the front of the field, Grimaldi looks to have made up ground on Dixon.
Pitlane is about to get pretty busy as the second round of stops is now underway.
We could be seeing our first lead change of the race right here. Grimaldi has closed in onto the back of Dixon, and now looks to the inside down the straight.
He goes up the inside into the corner.
And makes the move stick.
However, the move was for nothing as now both Grimaldi and Dixon are in the pits for their second stops.

3 seconds difference between Dixon and Grimaldi, but the Monaco driver is running out of laps to try and mount a challenge for the lead.
We are now on the final lap.
