The race has Finally Finally been won. Very exciting race but this is what i have to say to Oulton Park, 
F..................................................ck
F..................................................ckWelcome back for the round 5 Nations Cup race at Oulton Park. After McGregor showed fantastic pace in qualifying to put the Australian car on pole one wonders if he will cruise away from the field to victory today. Apart from a great time by McGregor the rest of the field were very tightly packed within a second of each other.
So it is down to the start where the drivers wait patiently for the off.
And go and Vanthoor has got a great jump off the start.
It looks like Tafuro is going to attempt to go round the outside of McGregor
And Succeeds
Vanthoor has climbed three places into 12th from the first corner
Oakley going up the inside of Stein
Stein however can carry more speed out of the corner as does Ward but there is no room to make a move
They are scrapping at the back as well
The front four
Into the last corner Zakes makes the move on Xanthis
In the forefront looks like Xanthis is coming back at Zakes while Vanthoor is under pressure from Stein
Nothing there into turn one for Xanthis though
Standings after the first lap
Vukcevic having a peek up the inside of Maverick
Stein is pushing hard he locks up. It just is not a Nations Cup race without England, Ireland and Germany fighting with each other
We are brought a replay, which is Xanthis going off
That car is done, Xanthis the first retirement on lap 3 in the race
During the replay Paddock ran wide and rejoins at the back
Jantsher gets by Carreiro at the final corner
Into turn one Heart makes his way by Copeman
Copeman being slow out of the first corner has in turn slowed Hunsley which Jantsher capitalises on
Hunsley locking up brings Carreiro into the picture
During all this it looks like Maverick must have gone off he is down to 5th place
Nightmare for Oakley, the home favourite has a brake problem
He is able to nurse it back to the pits but he is way back now
Antunis gets by Carreiro
Vanthoor has spun but is safe, that wastes a good start
Carreiro flies into the barrier, which is the end of his race
Yoshimoto has managed to hit the stationary Carreiro and lost part of his front wing. He will need that replaced
Vanthoor passes the wounded Japanese Car
A pretty innocuous spin by Heart
Horvath under pressure locks up
Off screen Heart has had an accident and retires, you would of thought the earlier spin would of counted as a warning to the Canadian
Looks like the pressure has got to Horvath he drops to 11th
Standings after lap 10
Looking to make up for dropping places Horvath has pushed too hard, His race is done at the same place as Carreiro who we are happy to say is ok after his heavy collision with the wall
Just like Yoshimoto did to Carreiro, Hunsley does to Horvath, he will be pitting at the end of the lap to replace the wing
Just as soon as Zakes moves into the last point’s position he bins the car
Another accident at Oulton Park
Stein now occupies 8th which at the moment seems to have a curse on it
McGregor just not showing the pace from Qualifying as Vukcevic is having a look
And he is passed at the last corner
McGregor will not give up the position
Vukcevic hangs on
Ward offers the Irish who have come to see their man hope sitting in 9th with Stein in his sights
Maverick is closing on Urazel
You can see 4th to 7th all within close proximity of each other
Tafuro trying to lap a stubborn Yoshimoto
But succeeds
Standings on lap 20 just before the expected scheduled stops
Join us after the break for more action from the Nations Cup

We were going well until that crash but hopefully if we can just keep the car out of the barriers we might be able to scrape some points.

Welcome back to the Nations Cup. It is time for the first scheduled stops and with all the accidents I think it is safe to say more drama is coming
Razak is the first too pit from 7th
Disaster for McGregor, water leak, he retires from third
Tafuro has hit the barrier..... He gets away with it though. He did this in Montreal it would appear Tafuro lacks concentration when leading
It means Vukcevic is right up behind the Italian now
Stein pits from 6th
Razak retakes his place comfortably
Tafuro re laps Yoshimoto
Vukcevic pits suddenly it has turned into a possible race leading stop
Maverick also pits
And rejoins safely
Here is Tafuro into the pits on the next lap, it doesn’t give Vukcevic time to get a lap out
De Boer pits also
Vukcevic is coming down the start finish straight
But Tafuro is exiting the pits he keeps the lead even though he regains second since Urazel is last to pit
De Boer rejoins just behind Maverick
Ward has managed to get by Stein from his pit stop
As Urazel pits all eyes are on Maverick, has either done enough for 3rd position
Urazel is exiting the pits but where is Maverick
He comes out just ahead that was tight
Standings after the pit stops
After a great pit stop the Irish car has fallen foul of an electrical problem
He is not the only one Urazel has a throttle problem and Maverick moves into third
De Boer passes Urazel
And Stein gets by Ward, relief for the German
Urzael could not quite make it to the pits he retires
Ward does manage to nurse the car to the pits
This moves Oakley into the points
Vukcevic has the run on Tafuro
And gets by him, we have a new race leader
Tafuro makes a mistake in trying to get back past Vukcevic and its cost him
He is out
A very bold marshal moves Tafuros car as De Boer steams past
Oakley pits from 7th
And rejoins in 10th place
Fastest lap by Vukcevic now he has clean air
Vanthoor applying pressure to Hunsley
Finding a way through for his efforts
Oakley now taking the defensive line against Ward
Antunis now holds the 8th position
The Standings at the half way point and there are only 14 runners left
Yoshimoto makes another pit stop, will they have fuelled him to the end?
Another setback for the home fans, this one is permanent though Oakley is into the wall and out the race
The replays show that somehow Ward missed that tyre off Oakley’s car
Vanthoor does not avoid it though but somehow comes away unscathed
It is time for another break here in the Nations Cup coverage. Will there be anybody left by the end? Tune in after the break to find out.

Damnit! The tension! 
3rd seems great but with all those mistakes I cannot believe Team NED will stay safe till the end, knowing our luck!
If you are racing, keep on racing and get some points!

With a second set of scheduled stops and just over a third of the race to go lets rejoin the action to see if there will be any more twists and turns in this race
Demoralising for Hunsley as he is lapped
Razak the first to stop again of the scheduled stoppers, this time from 4th place
Vanthoors luck has run out he is in the tyre wall
And retires from the race
Vukcevic pits from 1st place
Maverick now takes the lead
Immediately runs wide though and clatters the barrier but somehow keeps going
Copeman rejoins from his pit stop in 10th place
Maverick pits
Which leaves De Boer to take the lead
Vukcevic passes Maverick before he rejoins the circuit
Maverick rejoins in 4th place
Ward now into the last points scoring position
Copeman keeps ahead of Jantsher
De Boer is staying out
Paddock pits, quiet race but he has the chance to leapfrog Antunis with a good stop
Ward pits allowing Copeman to get up into 7th
Jantsher pops out ahead of Paddock
De Boer pits, will the extra laps get him past Maverick
Vukcevic regains the lead
Stein pits from 3rd
Maverick manages to keep 2nd place
De Boer rejoins in 3rd
Stein rejoins in 5th place
Antunis pits and manages to keep ahead of Paddock and even takes the position from Jantsher
Standings after all the scheduled stops have been completed
Antunis is protecting his place as best he can
Which gives Paddock a chance to get close to Jantsher
And Antunis some breathing room
Vukcevic has a comfortable gap back to Maverick
Paddock very close to Jantsher
This has sent the Austrian sideways was there contact? No clear replay to see
Paddock looking at Antunis now
Copeman going sideways as well
Antunis collides with Copeman, nothing broken on either car
This brings Copeman back into the scrap between Brazil, New Zealand and Austria
Ward joins in
And falls away almost immediately as the others make moves on each other
Stein is trying to make an impact on the gap to Razak
The tyre wall takes another driver. This time it is Hunsley
With that retirement half the field has retired
Maverick laps Yoshimoto
Antunis clips Copeman... Naughty
Both men survive though
Standings with 5 laps to go
Disaster for Copeman, he has lost the back end into turn one and is facing the wrong way, his chances of points ruined
Paddock wants more than just 7th
Yet Antunis seems to have found some cushion by the end of the same lap
Last lap for Vukcevic
It is between Ward and Jantsher for the final point’s position as they enter the final lap
Congratulations go to Mirko Vukcevic of Montenegro. A great faultless drive that sees him take victory at Oulton Park
Maverick comes home a safe second
Followed by De Boer
And Razak who had a very quiet race
Stein will be delighted with 5th
Ward just cannot get close to Jantsher. Is the marshal passing on Team Irelands tactics?
Antunis keeps hold of 6th from Paddock
And Jantsher manages to keep the final points place
The Final Standings
And Fastest Laps
That brings an end to our coverage here in Great Britain. Well done to Vukcevic who managed to take home the victory in a race that many will want to forget in a hurry. Zandvoort next for these drivers and teams where we may start to see our contenders pulling away from the rest of the field. Until next time goodnight

Didn't I say that I would leave the track again? 
I'm just glad that it didn't have any consequences this time. Again a podium, 2nd place...I'm very satisfied with that.

How is it Ned has zero points? :/ Didn't we just finish 3rd! And I thought I scored a point in an earlier race as well
