17th doesnt give us a great deal of hope, but at a track where we just dont know what to expect, who knows? Points could be on the table, if things fall Girard's way......

A top 10 while unboosted is way more that what we were expecting, now the goal is to keep the points finish until the end. Stay out of trouble and bring 'er home.

Round 5 - Chinese GP - Zhuhai - Race Day Pt 1
After some strong performances by home driver Cheng Tung, all the chineses here today are expecting a big win, Tung is the current leader of the championship, and with only he and Cremasco with a full boost today, he has great chances of winning the race
All the cars are ready to go, red lights are on
And here they go, Cremasco goes for the outside
Cremasco takes the lead, good start also by Couthard, he sits now in 3rd, and a yellow flag is on, let's see what happened
Seems like McGregor was trying a overtake on Rodriguez, but changed his line a bit too harshly, De Boer had nowhere to go, and contact was made
McGregor did go a little airborne
De Boer braked, and Ancevski didn't expected for that manouver
The Serbian drive has nowhere to go, and his front wheel hits the Dutch car, sending Ancevski airborne
As he goes down, his suspension is gone
And is end of race for Ancevski
Right in the second turn we have another problem, Silvestre forgot to hit the brakes, and hits Kuei
The impact sent reigning champion Hatfield into the sandbox, luckily he was able to return, but lost some positions
Tung is trying to get his position back from Cremasco
Vukcevic may be doing his last race of the season, and his mind doesn't seem to be in the right place as he loses the breaking point
He rejoins in last place
Cremasco with the fastest lap
Both Kuei and Silvestre are in for the pits, to fix the broken parts of their cars
A sad accident happened, a marshall was hit by McGregor's car
Vukcevic trying to regain some positions goes for the overtake against Hatfield
Good job by him
Here is how the top 10 stands after the first lap
Tung and Cremasco are already way ahead of the other cars, Coulthard and Ihara doesn't seem to be able to catch them
Silvestre returns in 20th and Kuei in 21st
Tafuro goes for a little walk outside of the track
He rejoins in 19th
Nikolov won the last race, but today his car is struggling to have a good pace, he goes for the overtake against Ana
And does a good job
Meanwhile Hatfield overtakes Vukcevic
Kederer is having a quietly race so far, without a boost he wants to keep it that way
Silva tries an overtake on Ana
He has no lucky and now may be facing Keranen
And Keranen manages to pass by Silva
Vukcevic once again outside the track
Silva tries to do a little payback on Keranen
But has no lucky
2 laps later it's Keranen's time to attack Ana
And he goes through
Grimaldi is right in the tail of Kederer
Oh no! Grimaldi brakes a little too late and hits Kederer
The German goes into the sand
And returns only in 18th
Grimaldi was able to continue in 5th
Silva tries to overtake Ana
And he is now in 14th
Briere is looking for a opening by De Boer[
He tries it
And has no lucky
Now he has to look out for Girard
Tafuro once again goes outside the track
As he is returning to the track, Kederer is passing by
That was a close one, almost a contact was made beetween them
Keranen tries to overtake Nikolov
No lucky though
We'll be back in no time

Round 5 - Chinese GP - Zhuhai - Race Day Pt2
We return just in time to see De Boer trying an overtaken on Mcgregor
The Dutch however has no lucky
Keranen was finally able to pass Nikolov, and sits now in 12th, a gain of 10 position
Hatfield is trying a overtake on Ana
But contact is made
And Ana ends up facing the wrong way
He rejoins in 18th
Briere is able to overtake De Boer without much problem
And in the next lap he goes for mcGregor's position
But contact is made, and both cars are now in danger
McGregor rejoins in 11th and Briere in 8th
But seems like they'll be gaining a position as we see smoke comig out of Rodriguez's car
Meanwhile Tung has the fastest lap
Rodriguez isn't able to take his car to the pits, and is now the second car to retire of the race, second DNF in a row for them
Top 10 after 20 laps, Great job so far by both Briere and Girard
Briere is the first one to stop
Everyone else is in for the pits, including leaders Brazil
Which means that Tung is the new leader, he need an amazing lap to return in front of Cremasco
Tung goes for the pits
As Cremasco is storming through the starting line we can see the Chinese car coming out of the pits
But Cremascos manages to stay ahead of Tung
After the rounf of pit-stops, here is how the standings are now, we can see that Girard lost some positions, and Keranen sits now in 8th, fantastic job by team Finland, starting in last place
As the race goes really quietly, we see that Cremasco is closing on Kuei, this might be the chance that Tung was expecting
The Chinese driver is already reducing the gap
But Cremasco is quickly in overtaking Kuei
But Tung is really looking for an opportunity, the gap now is less than 1s
And Cremasco will be facing more traffic ahead
As he goes for the overtake on Silvestre
But Silvestre is overtaking him back
The Brazilian won't be happy with this manouver of Silvestre, Tung pass by without much problem
And here it is, Tung goes for the overtake on Cremasc... no, wait... it's not Tung, it's just Vukcevic being lapped by Cremasco
As we see Tung closing on Vukcevic, a yellow flag is on
Nikolov has a problem with his transmission, and it's off
Briere and Keranen doing some great job today, Keranen gained 14th positions
Tung wasn't able to close on Cremasco, and the Brazilian wins the Chinese GP, it is the first win for Brazil since season 1, and the second for Cremasco, he had won one with team Mexico in season 3
Tung finished in 2nd, 4th podium in 5 races for him
Coulthard finished in 3rd
Briere had a problem after the race, but did manage to finish in 7th

Quite happy with Girard to come home in 10th - kept out of trouble, whilst others found it themselves. Good day for the French.

Team China
We gave it our all in the race, but in the end it seem Team Brazil were just better than us. At least it helps keeps Cheng in the championship lead, and we've probably increased it as well. Now to look ahead to the next round.

Pretty funny to see South Park characters standing on podium xD
Bring on next race! (If Montenegro is out and possibly I'm in)

First of all we like to apologize to Milos for his DNF. I had no choice to let the throttle go to avoid spinning in front of the field, the Australia car forced our hands in this!
But we are very happy to have only substained minor damages to the car and were able to keep going! 6th is an amazing result for us and will be cherised!
If you are racing, keep on racing and get some points!
