GPG Nations Cup S2: Finished! S3: Annoucements/Signup pg 52! (4 SPACES LEFT)
Posted by GPG_Nations_Cup
Its the penultimate round of the Nations Cup. We are in Japan. Can Alpenstrom put himself into position to win the championship in the race. Lets find out.
The weather is terrible today and its not going to get any dryer during qualifying
Hunsley sets the marker time today
Which is toppled by Marinescu
Vilela destroys that
Only to see Silva go a fraction faster
The next man along Antunis sets an even better time
Before Tafuro is the first to disappoint
Alpenstrom puts in a solid time to go provisional second
Before Maverick right behind him takes the pole
Only for a few seconds before Kamikaze crosses the line
Edvardsen shades ahead of Maverick to move into second
De Boer so very nearly takes pole
That is a terrible lap by Johnson
It is because he spun it that could cost him with the weather being so bad
It hurts Brilley and Byrne though
Standings with the first runs all completed
The track has got much worse and noone is improving
Well one man does and that is Johnson who gains one spot
With the rain tumbling down noone can improve on their laptimes and so its just a run around although a few people get a bit lively
So here are your official standings

Satisfied with 4th. That gives a good chance for another podium before the season ends.

Very good second place 
Too bad Sweden is in 5th! Dissapointing to see Germany behind Sweden, so it might be up to us to hold Sweden from claiming the title here!!
If you are racing, keep on racing and get some points!

Frustrated to have had a wet Qualifying. Our French team had been planning and hoping for a dry session, to allow the boost to power us along this fantastic circuit.....
10th place is tolerable for now. We shall see how we go in the race, and then maybe get our man Girard in for some contract talks....

It is race time in Suzuka. We had a wet qualifying but that is not going to matter to much since the weather is not much better today
And with that its go here in Suzuka and Edvardsen finds himself blocked out of going right up the middle of the front two
Its De Boer who takes the lead into the first corner
Jantsher has had a great start
He has done what Bautista did in the Moto GP and gone into turn one too fast and he collects Maverick
Who brings the championship leader with him!
Maverick forces himself back in with the pack as everyone is bumping and jostling in the first couple of corners
Byrne ended up running off in all the confusion
Tafuro tucks up the inside of Girard
But Girard fights back to take it back
Nikolov tries to go around the outside
McGregor tries this too
Nikolov could not hang on around the edge whereas McGregor does make the move
Edvardsen pulls up alongside Kamikaze
He looks to dive up the inside at 130R
Kamikaze shows some real kamikaze spirit staying with him around the outside to keep the place
Maverick goes around the outside of Copeman
Silvestre runs wide but keeps ahead of Nikolov. It has a knock on effect further back as Marinescu and Kederer squabble
Marinescu should leave Kederer some room and they collide
The log jam means Copeman bumps Johnson who connects with Maverick
And its Maverick and Marinescu who suffer from that
Both men rejoin the circuit right in front of Alpenstrom
Kederer on the start of the next lap runs wide though and rejoins the circuit after his trip through the gravel in 18th
Standings after the madness of lap 1
Silva has a look at the inside of Edvardsen but thats all it will be
Nikolov goes around the outside of Vilela
Hunsley makes the move on Vukcevic
Who appears to be struggling in the wet as he locks up and slides off the circuit before the chicane
Into that chicane Hunsley runs it wide
It gives Johnson a chance to make a move at turn 1 which he makes
Vukcevic ends up rejoining in last
Silvestre passes Vilela at 130R seeing some stones in the wet today
Hunsley holds off Copeman
Silva does around the outside of Edvardsen
We see Jantsher taking Byrne as he tries to work his way back through the field
Hunsley again holds of Copeman he just refuses to let the American past
Alpenstrom takes Maverick further down the field as he is looking to get his second hand on the title
Only to have Maverick fight back and take it away from him as both men hope for a way back today
Jantsher pulls out of Brilley's slipstream
And makes the pass and looks to push on
While Brilley falls to Byrne but there is contact
Maverick has to swerve to avoid Brilley
Alpenstrom connects with Kederer
And again Maverick is spun around its been a terribly unfortunate day for Switzerland so far
Girard goes around the outside of Edvardsen for 4th
Alpenstrom makes a mistake in the poor conditions
He is back on circuit in front of Vukcevic
Johnson takes the tenth spot by passing Silvestre up the inside
Has Copeman finally made his way by Hunsley
The answer to that would be no still not quite able to pass him
He has a go into the chicane and comfortably makes the pass
Jantsher might be able to follow him through
Hunsley gets a better drive out of the chicane and manages to stop himself dropping another place
A loose wheel strikes for Silvestre and he is forced to retire
Jantsher does pass Hunsley further around the circuit though
Silva takes a defensive line to keep Girard at bay
Johnson goes around the outside of McGregor now as he continues his climb
Girard used the slipstream of Silva to make the pass at 130R
Edvardsen is making a dive on Silva in an attempt to get back the place at the chicane but Silva having the inside on the second part and the better drive hangs on
Girard wastes no time closing in on Kamikaze and is alongside the Japanese driver on the way to spoon
And makes the pass at Spoon
Johnson still on the attack is alongside Nikolov
And they are still alongside eachother as we come to the chicane
Johnson will have to yield though and wait for a better spot
Hunsley not able to put up the usual defence we seen at 130R and Kederer goes by him
Alpenstrom takes Marinescu at turn one as a dry line starts to appear
Maverick follows him through shortly after
Standings with ten laps gone and the pit stops to come
Time for a break The next two parts will be up tomorrow
And with that its go here in Suzuka and Edvardsen finds himself blocked out of going right up the middle of the front two
Its De Boer who takes the lead into the first corner

nooo its going down to last race, i hope some nordic god stops the Netherlands :P
What shall I say to this. Again we have a good pace, again we had a good position, again we were up to grab a bunch of points and again everybody seems to think that white cross on the Swiss car is a target. I guess it is a good decision to quit the series after this season. At least this way people will end to shoot at our car.

Welcome back it is time for the second part of our rainy weekend in Japan
It is time for pit stops and it is McGregor who pits first out of the top of the field
And rejoins 14th
Its not long before the leader pits
In fact we are seeing the rest of the top ten save for Antunis
So De Boer rejoins in second with Antunis now holding the lead
Girard and Kamikaze rejoin as is from before the pit stops
In fact so do the two pairs of Silva and Edvardsen and Tafuro and Johnson
Nikolov keeps ahead of McGregor who suffered a little traffic on his outlap which probably kept him behind the Bulgarian
We are seeing McGregor and Copeman pit again
De Boer makes the move on Antunis to recapture the lead
At the end of the lap though De Boer and Antunis collide but no damage as De Boer tries to pit
We see others pitting again perhaps due to confusion over the track conditions. We are seeing dry lines
As Antunis goes back into the lead
De Boer is out in 4th
And Maverick who has not flinched in all this comes up to 6th
Johnson manages to come out just in front of Hunsley for the tenth spot and in fact beat Tafuro in the pits this time
Antunis finally pits leaving Kamikaze to take over the lead
Maverick also decides to make his first stop today
Antunis finds himself in second
Edvardsen leapfrogs ahead of Silva
And Maverick takes up the final point place for now
Kamikaze pits from the lead
As Johnson takes an off road trip gifting the spot back to Tafuro
Antunis has the lead yet again
Kamikaze rejoins and is within touching distance of Girard and De Boer
Kederer takes 13th from Vilela at 130R
Tafuro is struck with a transmission failure and thats the end for him today
Johnson enjoyed it so much the first time he felt like doing it again dropping more places
Girard has gone around the outside as we have seen a lot today at 200R
De Boer has a think about passing back but is just too far away
Antunis pits again from the lead
Girard has the lead for the first time today
Maverick pits again from 8th
Antunis rejoins in 6th and will be happy with how that has all worked out
Jantsher now takes the final points scoring place
Since Maverick is now in 14th place after the stop
After the mess of pit stops here are the standings
Silva got a wheel on the grass and is sent sideways
And comes to a stop in the gravel
Girard has been slowly pulling out a lead
Silva is back on circuit way down in 18th
Kederer moves into 10th because of the Silva mistake
Maverick wants points today and is going around the outside of Copeman
Alpenstrom makes it past Hunsley and is still looking to claw his way into the points
Maverick is blisteringly quick right now
Whereas Alpenstrom has much to make up on his next target
Jantsher and Nikolov are side by side through 130R
Its only until Nikolov had to yield at the chicane that Jantsher could claim 7th
Maverick shoots around the outside of Kederer to move into the points
Girard makes Vukcevic the first man to be lapped
Silva has himself in a fight with Byrne
Neither man budging through spoon
But Silva manages to utilise the inside line and get back something he lost but it is almost impossible to get back up there now
Especially since Byrne plans to fight back for his spot
Time for the final break before the conclusion of the 16th round of the nations cup
It is time for pit stops and it is McGregor who pits first out of the top of the field
