GrandPrixGames Nations Cup Season 3 [Round 17 - World Grand Prix - Abu Dhabi: Race pg 81-82!]
Posted by GPG_Nations_Cup
8th isn't that bad, but we were hoping for a little better for the race. Well, at least we manage some points...

Monaco GP
Unhappy with our second stop. To make an early second pit, especially at the same time that our direct opponents was truly a mistake, and that's my own fault. But our pit crew was also too slow, which cost us at least one place in the standings and maybe two.
4th was definitely not what we expected for our home race, but it's still a good bunch of points.
@Connor : nice coverage, really interesting comments (not a boring race at all
)
@Soutsen : AFAIK that's not possible to custom races like you said in GP4. It's the same strategy for all teams and the computer decide how to tweak it itself.

Team Argentina
Luckily the boost served to the race because we finished 11th after having started 16th. So we have to improve a bit in the qualifyings because lately it seems that we are failing in that...
Now the team will work hard on the car to see what can be improved in the Italian GP.
@Connor: Great coverage

Huh, yeah I've wrote absolute nonsense. Because of the lack of practice of playing the game I am just totally forgot that we can't configure the computer opponents before the race in the GP4 at the moment. And I'm not going to lie: sadly sometimes even I do not understand, what kind of gibberish did I wrote. So excuse me for trying to be Einstein in the wrong matter - I believe, if there only such a possibility was existed, it would have already been used in both GPGSL and GPGNC series. Silly me

That's not nonsense. We all would love to custom ourselves our own settings for cars and pit stops, but GP4 just can't do it. 
Better use some boost for next race ...
Points position with no boost - I can live with that

Team Ireland
Outstanding result for our young Irish charger. This was a team effort though as the pit work was outstanding in gaining places on both pitstops.
The only way to avoid the one stoppers is to check that all car fuel loads are around 3rd distance whilst the cars are on the grid. If not then the game will need to be re-loaded. If there is still a one stopper then the game needs restarting but enter Sunday warm-up, then the race. Failing that, edit the perf qualy values to get the correct grid and keep starting the race until all cars are on the correct fuel strategy. Once in a while in the GPGSL one stoppers were unavoidable even after all these steps were taken. For that reason we moved to one stop races, but me thinks we may revert back

Round 6 Monaco/Monte Carlo - Netherlands
After failing to pit twice, team Netherlands were awarded a penalty of 15 seconds after the race. A complaint was lodged about the severity of this penalty, and thus the stewards have decided to reduce to penalty to 10 seconds. This action was not taken lightly and was only arrived at after extensive scrutineering and testing behind the scenes of the scenario. Netherlands have accepted this penalty and therefore finish in 9th place as opposed to 12th. The apologies of the GPGNC go to USA, Great Britain and Argentina who all drop a place following this change. We are sorry for the under-thought decision that came after the race, and will now ensure steps are taken to prevent this sort of incident from occuring again. The full official results are displayed below:

Our pace is really strong so far, but the season's still long. We've got to keep on working hard to stay on this level.
Austria could be booted out? If that's happens then who'll take the spot?

I was thinking that. If Team Canada joins (or rejoin, due to having been in before being removed), will Canada be able to keep the points gained before leaving, or be forced to start from 0 points due to having a new owner?
And if Canada doesn't enter, are all the files for Team China currently where they need to be (car livery and driver helmet) so China can be race ready?

I see. Last I checked, Incident 2k9 had helped me with painting a car and helmet, so I may need to ask him for the tex files for both car and helmet. I'll wait for the news regarding team Austria, and team Canada's decision on joining before I go ahead and ask gor the files.
