I look forward to it (and I also hope it's not Cheng that gets hit with the penalty for only 1 stopping).

Weather:
Welcome everyone, due to some major problems with our satellites the coverage of the race had to be delayed, but we're finally here after all, Gerard Hatfield is at the pole position today, and he is one of best drivers so far this season, right beside him is the home driver and one of the most experienced of the series, Maikel de Boer
And, they're off, Hatfield and De Boer are side by side
And the rookie manages to stay ahead
Meanwhile Nikolov is trying to overtake Keranen
But, he is left with the outside line, Domenech is also going for the overtake against Cremasco
Nikolov is able to beat Keranen
The same goes for Domenech, 1x0 to Argentina against Brazil
Dixon is the fastest man on the track after the first lap, and as a result he is pushing McGregor for the 3rd place
Good job by Dixon, is the first of many overtakes that will sure take place at the same spot today
Unseen by the cameras, Tafuro was able to overtake the debuting driver of the race, Carlos Rodriguez, and is now in 5th
This is how the race has progressed for the top 10 so far, a good job by Kederer
Nikolov is off the track, not a great start for him
He is able to return, but only at 22nd, maybe this will be a wasted boost for the Bulgarian
Domenech is overtaking Tung, good job by the driver
Franz F-F is also doing the same, but against Silva, who is now a driver of the GPGSL as well, and must be a little tired of travelling from Melbourne to Netherlands
The Swiss driver completes the overtake without much problems
The top 3 is really close at the moment
And De Boer wastes no time, as he goes for the lead
He is through, the Dutch driver is leading his home race
Dixon is trying to use the overtake to gain the position as well
But Hatfield is able to hold the 2nd place
Domenech shouldn't be doing that, he lost the control of his car and is now off track
And nos he is facing the wrong direction
As Nikolov, he is able to return, but in last place
We're back just in time to see Dixon overtaking Hatfield for the 2nd place
Keranen overtakes Kederer and is now inside the top 10
Hatfield is now facing McGregor, and behind them we can see that Ihara is also trying to overtake Rodriguez
Both drivers are successful with their maneuvers
Ohh!, Ihara missed the braking point
Hopefully, she is able to return without any damage
But has lost some positions
Rodriguez is having quite a busy race, soon enough he'll be facing former champion Aspenström
Nikolov caught up to Girard, the Frenchman has won this race last season
Keranen overtakes Kuei without any trouble
Nikolov is now is front of Girard
Grimaldi overtakes Tung
The same goes for Franz F-F against Briere, the championship leader is out of the points today
Silvestre goes for the overtake against Silva
But the portuguese is able to fight for his position
Silvestre has won the battle, and now Silva have both Viljoen and Nikolov right on his tail
As we see the standings so far we can see that Tafuro and Ihara are both overtaking their oponents
Unseen by the cameras Silva took his position back from Silvestre
Nikolov overtakes the San Marino car, and start his chase for Silva
He is able to pass by
Viljoen tries to overtake Silvestre, but the two are side by side
Viljoen made a mistake, and is now out of the track
He is able to return, but ends up on the other side of the track
Girard gained one position with all this
Dixon is getting close to De Boer, and we may have a fight for the lead
Not much of a fight, as Dixon easily overtakes De Boer and is now the leader of the race
We'll be back shortly for the part 2

GPG Nations Cup Season 4 - Round 13 - Dutch GP - Race day Pt2
And we're back for the second part of the race, just in time of seeing that Grimaldi is right behind Kederer
We can see in his mirror that Grimaldi is looking for a opening
And he goes for the overtake
But Kederer is willing to fight for his position
And he manages to stay in front, good job of our reigning champion
On the next lap however he is facing yet another try by Grimaldi
And once again he is able to remain in front
Grimaldi has two tyres off track after the battle with Kederer
And he goes for a walk on the grass
He returns right behind Tung
Ohh!, we have a yellow flag on, and both Briere and Nikolov are facing the wrong direction
As the replay shows, Nikolov went for the overtake but the turn was too small for both cars
They have to wait for everyone to pass by
And are able to return, Nikolov at 21st and Briere at 22nd
Franz F-F is the first one to stop for the pit stop
And while everyone else is also doing their pit stops, we have a message, something happened to Franz
And is end of race for the Swiss, but what happened?
He left the pits and lost control after just two turns into the track
And ended up hitting the wall
As we see the standings after the first round of stops we can see that Girard didn't stop
Girard already had a problem this season with a penalty regarding the pit strategy
Ihara makes the fastest lap
Domenech overtakes Silva
Tafuro seems to be going for an overtake against De Boer
And he is now in 2nd
Girard's strategy is not paying off as he now has lost two positions, his tyres must be almost at their end
After overtaking Girard, Kederer and Grimaldi are now ready to resume their battle
And Grimaldi goes for it
And he is able to pass by this time
Kuei goes for an unscheduled stop as she has some problems
Meanwhile Girard must now deal with Cremasco and Tung
And they're both through
Nikolov, Kuei and Domenech are all overtaking Girard as well
McGregor overtakes Rodriguez
As Girard finally goes for his pit stop, we can see that Silva is trying a move on Silvestre
And he is able to overtake him
Nikolov overtakes Tung and is now trying to overtake Cremasco, behind them Kuei is going for the overtake against Tung
Girard is being overlapped by Dixon
And Hatfield is able to gain one more position as he overtakes Rodriguez
Nikolov got through Cremasco, and the Brazilian will now be pressured by Kuei
She tries it
And is finally able to overtake him
The second round of pit stops is now underway
After he leaves the pits McGregor goes a little too wide and end up spinning
He returns in 13th
Dixon sets the fastest lap
As all the pit stops are done we can now have a look at the standings
Team uruguay did a good job as Rodriguez is now up to 3rd
Silva overtakes Girard
Hatfield overtakes Rodriguez and is no inside the top 3
As we see how the race has progressed so far, we can see that Keranen and Tafuro have both won 5 places since the start of the race, McGregor on the other hand lost six places, most of them due to his spin
Silvestre overtakes Girard
De Boer is now being pressured by Ihara
The Japanese girl goes for the overtake
Great job by Ihara, she is now inside the top 5
With just one lap to go she is now right behind Rodriguez
She goes for the overtake as we enter the last lap
And she makes it, she sits now in 4th, Rodriguez is in 5th, a great position for him
And that's it, Dixon has won the GP, congratulations to all the New Zealand team and to Scott Dixon, who should be now the new leader of the championship

not a bad result :D
Extremely pleased! Way more than we expected from the car, having the newest spec Chevy certainly helped a lot and managing a tidy race was crucial. The fact that we climbed up to 3rd until the final laps is very encouraging for the rest of the season and sets up a great base for S5.
Well done team, chivito for everyone!
Stats: 139 Starts / 7 Wins / 9 Poles / 5 Fastest laps

Yesssssssa!!!!! Very pleased with to score a win at last! Hoping to have snuck up a bit on the championship table
Team China
14th. Pretty disappointed to miss out on points, but that was the best Cheng could do without boost. Hopefully we can get a better result in the next round, so we'll start planning for then.
Also, regarding the penalty for France, seeing that they finished a lap down, I don't think the penalty is going to affect their overall position unless the split between France and Canada at the end is less than 10s. So what would the best outcome be for the penalty?
