post race, yup. Some of you have given me race perfs - that's fine. Still waiting for some though - if you could let me have these, that'd be great
BTW, there's an issue with the pit strategy thing - i didn't realise it's not possible to set individual car pitstops. (unless somebody can tell me a method to do it!). If there really isn't a method, for this race, a 2 stop strategy will be used (which is what most people who've told me so far wanted anyway)

It's no big deal, Adam.
I was just wondering if the spots where used correctly, that's all. I didn't mind Team Ireland using our car as well, we're glad to help wherever we can

mod update - sorted the swiss helmet issue (me being a nonce forgot to unzip the helmet folder, so when i went through putting helmets in, i missed it), Ireland car is in-game (customs let it go after a thorough inspection!). All i need to do is sort out a few tweaker positions, and also sort out the fact half the textures are HUGE, and then i will release a beta version. it will be lod0 only - i don't have lower lods for some of the shapes, but that's something i can work on later

I'll try to find some time to make a little picture tutorial tomorrow in how to make the .tex files smaller.

GPGNC Round 1 – Race
Welcome to Sunny Surfer’s Paradise, for round 1 of the Nations Cup
The grid is lined, up, ready for the start, with Kota Razak on his shock pole position, with Ukyo Yoshimoto alongside. Behind them, the Madagascan driver, Zakes and the Brazilian Antunis are also hoping for a sniff of victory
And the Lights go out! It’s a terrible start for Yoshimoto from 2nd, as Zakes gets a brilliant start from 3rd
And Zakes is on the inside of Razak into turn 1 – he takes the lead! Further back, Yoshimoto fends off a fast starting Jantsher
Jantsher has to then fend of f Antunis, as Stein attacks De Boer
Hunsley jumps Burazel
The field are all through the first turns cleanly, as Burazel snatches 14th place back from Hunsley
Oakley goes past Stein, as De Boer attacks Jantscher
The leading trio already breaking away from 4th placed Antunis
The top 6 after lap 1
7th to 12th after lap 1
And the rest of the field
Into Turn 1, Xanthis clips Vukcevic, spinning the Montenegro car
Ward makes up a place
On lap 2, the British car’s engine expires. Terrible luck for Oakley, who was hoping for a strong race performance
Oakley’s retirement causes chaos into the fast chicane, as hunsley and Paddock go heavily over the curbs. Copeman for USA spins
And is forced to wait as the field passes through
Paddock then bins it
Razak puts the hammer down in an attempt to catch Zakes
A replay of the 2nd lap incident
Razak sets another fastest lap
Vantsher dives up the inside of Antunis into turn one, elevating the Austrian to 4th place
De Boer and Stein are immediately on the tail of Antunis, who appears to be struggling
Stein attacks De Boer
Xanthis drops it at the fast chicane, after Copeman taps him
Another retirement on lap 5 – an oil leak knocks Nathan McGregor from the race
Vukcevic attacks Heart of Canada
Who defends well into turn 2
De Boer isn’t as lucky, as Tafuro forces the Italian car past into turn 1
Hunsley attacks Vanthoor into turn 1
A small queue is forming behind Antunis. Tafuro, after passing De Boer is very quickly onto the back of it
Stein makes his move on the grid straight
Heart takes a whack from Vukcevic
Tafuro makes it past Antunis
De Boer makes a mistake and clouts the wall
Copeman finally dispatches Xanthis
Maverick has a good look at Urazel’s car into turn 1
However, he costs himself time, and now Vukcevic is all over the back of him
The walls claim another victim, as Heart crashes heavily
Razak has a lucky escape, as he tries to bring down the gap to Zakes
Vukcevic forces his way past Maverick
And then makes short work of Urazel
Battles all the way through the field as Vanthoor chases down Huntley
Huntley manages to fend off the Belgian, and then attacks Ward into turn 1
Razak, after claiming the first GPGNC pole position, continues to make history as he makes the first GPGNC pitstop
He rejoins in 8th place
Vukcevic also makes a pitstop
Stein and Jantsher now fighting over 3rd place
Urazel having a slightly lonely time now Vukcevic has stopped
Jantsher off the hook, as Stein pits
Followed by Tafuro
After a slow stop, Stein then compounds the German team’s misery by stacking the car on his outlap
Zakes pits from the lead
Yoshimoto pits from 2nd He rejoins in front of Razak, who has been stuck in traffic
Jantsher takes the lead… when will he pit?
Urazel makes a stop
Vanthoor continues on – running a longer first stint
Hunsley retires. The south African’s suspension had enough of being bounced over the harsh kerbs…
Ward dives down the inside of Switzerland into turn 1
Heartbreak for Madagascar, as the gearbox fails.
The top 6 as half distance approaches
Maverick crashes out of 14th
Razak sets another fast lap, as Jantsher continues. Is Jantscher going to make his first stop soon?
Vukcevic passes Urazel again. A gutsy drive from the Montenegro driver.
Razak makes a 2nd stop
Jantsher finally pits. Despite the magic data saying 0 percent of drivers would make 1 stop, it seems Jantscher is proving it wrong
Yoshimoto loses concentration for a second, and hits the wall hard
Antunis takes the lead, having also not pitted yet
Tafuro is chasing Jantsher hard for the lead.
Copeman locks up. Manages to get away with it

His mistake goes unpunished, as Tafuro makes his first stop
Vanthoor follows him in
Urazel is catching Razak very quickly
But is called in for his 2nd stop
Copeman pits from 7th place. A good recovery so far from the American
Horvath climbs to 3rd through the pitstops
Razak pits again. Seems the magic data hasn’t worked properly… GPGNC invigilators will investigate this post race
Vukcevic is running 5th, yet to stop again
Huge drama! With only 9 laps left, Jantsher hits a wall, wiping out the front right of his car!
Horvath has to take avoiding action, as he passes to take the lead
The new top 3, Horvath, from Tafuro, from Vanthoor
Razak fends off the attentions of Urazel
Copeman surprises everybody by setting the fastest race lap
Ward has spent most of his race in traffic, and is still running 9th
Horvath makes his 2nd stop, elevating Tafuro to the lead with 6 laps to run
Vanthoor is catching him fast – can he defend?
He dives for the inside
They’re side by side
Vanthoor makes it stick! Brilliant driving by the Belgian
Razak running 3rd
With only 5 laps left, here is the top 6. (pitstop information inaccurate, due to game quits)
Looks like Razak is going to have to work to keep 3rd place. Horvath and Urazel catching fast
Horvath has a look at Urazel, costing both drivers time
The final Lap
And the chequered flag! Congratulations to Laurens Vanthoor, race winner
To Paulo Tafuro, 2nd place
And Kota Razak, who held off Urazel to claim 3rd
Here is the final race result:
Thankyou for joining us for round 1 of the GPG_NC. It may have been a bit rough round the edges, but it generated a thrilling race! More race photos here: [smg.photobucket.com]
See you all next time for the Brazilian GP from Interlagos

12 DNFs? I really hope that it won't go on like this! Very disappointing, though. I knew that it'd be a hard day with not having spend any points on the race perf, but it looked not bad in the meantime. But the crash then stopped all hopes for a point. At least I haven't waisted any boost points

Hi guys
This is how i set the magic data - not a clue why it didn't work for pitstops - any suggestions?
And here is the championship table with remaining perf points after round 1:
Quick note - since greece didn't have an owner for race 1, the car wasn't eligible for points. No performance points were added over the base perf in the performance file, however points were deducted from the total available balance. Greece will be eligible for points at next race, since an owner has been found.
Portugal still seeking an owner, and will remain ineligible for points until one is found

To retire in our opening grand prix was not what we were hoping for down under. We hope for better in Brazil.
