go in the performance file and edit them so all drivers have 15400 of performance. They'll be slower then you, but fast enough so that you don't get to lap them in 11 laps...I think...there's the pitstop problem though...maybe 15000 will work better...dunno...
But it's really a bummer that you are driving with AI cars...do you have gp4 tweaker reloaded installed correctly, etc?

Perhaps I can send you my tweaker setup folder if you need.
Files recieved from:
Dave Carr-Smith Adam Rouse Bruno Castello Flavio Santos Diogo Vincenzi Matt Finlay
Any files submitted now will be subject to a 12 second penalty as well as a grid penalty. Basically, Matt Green, you have until I begin to write the race report, probably in about 10 hours time.

2006 WSRC USGP
Diogo Vincenzi continued his dominating form as he takes his first USGPP victory and is now all but certain to take the drivers championship for the second year running.
Qualifying was an eventful affair as Bruno Castello and Vincenzi traded fastest laps until a late flyer from Vincenzi sealed the pole position with a 1:07.833, a mere one tenth ahead of Castello. Matt Finlay of Holden grabbed third with a 1:08.545, edging out Dave Carr-Smith of Vodafone Audi by 0.041 seconds. However, it transpired that after the session, the brake ducts on the Holden challenger were deemed illegal by the race stewards and Finlay would start from the back. Carr-Smith was next quickest, just 0.013 seconds ahead of his new team-mate Adam Rouse. Kyle Schroeder of Rhino Racing took 6th place with a 1:11.127, and Flavio Santos completed the timed grid. New man Blake Haswell was a non participant in qualifying as the damage from the practice accident with Rouse proved too much for the team to repair in the limited time available. Matt Green of Audi would also start from the rear of the grid after engine troubles kept him sidelined.
As the lights went out, it was Carr-Smith who made the best getaway and he passed Castello and Vincenzi up the inside into the first turn. A clash of wheels between Castello and Vincenzi saw both men take to the grass and this allowed the rest of the field to pass the pair. Everyone that is, except Schroeder who stalled it on the line and would become the race’s first retirement.
Lap one was frenetic as Vincenzi and Castello sought to make up for their clash, and this they did, slicing through the field like a hot knife through butter. Their progress was aided by Carr-Smith who made a mistake at turn 7 and this dropped him towards the back. As the field crossed the line to begin lap two, the order was; Vincenzi, Green, Castello, Finlay, Rouse, Carr-Smith and Santos. However, Green was sizing up Vincenzi and he made a classic slip-stream manouever to take the ever changing lead into turn one. Finlay, in a carbon copy of Green’s move took over third from Castello. Green extended his lead slightly over Vincenzi, the gap at 0.4 seconds, but it was Carr-Smith who made the next pass, managing to take Rouse and Finlay on the main straight before turn one. Carr-Smith into third then! On lap four, the gap between Green and Vincenzi closed to just 0.06 as Vincenzi attempted to pass Green’s Audi into turn one, but the move was unsuccessful. Carr-Smith, Finlay, Rouse, Castello and Santos completed the top seven.
On lap five however, Vincenzi snuck up the inside of Green into turn 7. Vincenzi was through and into the lead once more. Carr-Smith continued in third as Finlay and Castello pitted, and there was almost disaster for the Holden as Finlay had a massive moment on the pitlane entry, the car snapping sideways and glancing off the wall and any advantage Finlay had over Castello was gone as they entered the pits nose to tail, and exited nose to tail – Castello in front. Lap six saw Vincenzi, Carr-Smith, Rouse and Santos pit, Green continuing on for another lap. There were nervous faces in the Audi pit, would Green be able to keep the lead once he made his stop? The answer was no, Vincenzi did it easy in the end and held a 5 second advantage over Green, who was now under fire from Carr-Smith and Castello.
The next twist in an eventful race came shortly after the pits as radio chatter between Green and the Audi pits suggested there was some sort of problem with the Audi. On lap 10, Green crossed the line behind everyone except Santos, blue smoke escaping from the exhausts. Castello moved into second ahead of Rouse and Carr-Smith, all three fighting desperately over the remaining podium positions. This battle would be resolved on the final lap when Castello crossed the line a mere half a car length ahead of Carr-Smith and Rouse. Finlay finished a distant fifth, that contact with the wall perhaps doing some damage to the suspension of the HSV. Green would cross the line in 6th, smoke now pouring from the car and he parked it by the side of the track. Green would subsequently be penalised 12 seconds by the race stewards for continuing with a car that was posing a danger to others. Santos completed the order coming home in seventh and last of the runners in an eventful grand prix!

Dang, that was a nice report mate. And I'm really glad to have taken the win here at the US GP. It was very hard work this weekend to get the car up to where I wanted. Woot! Now I have 32 points of advantage, hehe BTW, for the ones that were bitching about the gaps used at the start due to qualifying order, if Bruno hadn't started second, he would've lost 2nd place to Dave

Press Conference
Diogo, yet another win here today to add to your tally, but it wasn't all plain sailing, especially in the early stages. There was alot of pressure from your teammate, and the others weren't too far behind either.
An incident with Bruno at the start of the race and it looked all over for you guys! It looked as if you simply closed the door on him, did you know he was there?
Ok, and we saw you pit on lap 6, one lap before Green, was there any concern that you might not retain the lead once he had stopped?
Talk a bit about the balance of the car, the performance of the tyres, because we saw some fellow Bridgestone runners struggle with the degradation of the soft option out there in the hot conditions.
Did the team tell you to ease back once it became clear that you would win the race and the fact that Green had technical problems?
*******************
Bruno, second place once again, surely that first win is just a matter of time?
Talk us through the incident with Diogo at the start of the race and did the contact affect the handling of the car at any stage?
And again, the battles with Dave, Adam and Matt at various stages through-out the race could've gone either way, tell us about them from your point of view.
As the team manager of Raltwest, what did you make of the decision by Schroeder to pull his team out of the race citing tyre problems as the reason? You both run Michelins, was there any problem for your cars?
********************
Dave, welcome to the press conference.
An eventful race on your behalf, you even took the lead at one point, did you think that you may just have a chance at winning this race?
But you then had a moment, and the others got by, including your teammate, was there any sort of handling imbalance with your car, it looked like you and Rouse were struggling at certain points in the race.
You must've been in a good position to see the clash between Diogo and Bruno, what did you make of that?
Ok, and then the battles through-out the race with Castello, Rouse and Finlay, what was your take?

It's great to be back at the highest step of the podium again today, specially in a circuit I had not raced before. The start of the race was particularly difficult. We actually had a good start, but Dave was able to pass myself and Bruno into the first corner, and I had to actually take the foot off a bit to avoid spinning. We were running with a more oversteery car today then usual so I had to be careful.
Matthew had a great performance today, and while I saw him coming, blocking him could have produced a bad result for the team, but while I braked as late as I could he had the upper hand there. Still, I think he had a slightly smaller traction for the infield, cause I was able to close in on him again and pass him on turn 7. In the end though, this was a very competitive race as we all have seen, which means we have to work hard for France, which once again, is a track I never raced on.
Actually, I didn't see him at all. He must've been on my blind spot as we entered the corner, cause I just assumed there was no one behind and closed in the corner. Gladly, the car was running very well today and I was able to regain the positions to take the lead again.
Not really. I made sure to have a good in-lap, and I also did a pretty good out-lap, so I felt that it would work out well. Still, had he passed me, I would be in slight advantage since my tyres would already be warmed up, while his would be colder for the first lap.
The balance wasn't all great during practice sessions, but we managed to improve a lot for qualifying, and on the race the car felt perfect. We had to be harder on the tyres then usual here, due to all the heavy braking, but the tyres held up pretty well. Again, our car tend to go real easy on the tyres, so I didn't have any problems. We actually considered taking the harder compound into the race, but while it had better traction, we weren't getting the same speed out of it.
They told me that I could relax a bit, since Matthew was dropping behind, and Bruno and Dave were having a battle behind me, but they asked me to keep the same pace as before to avoid any risks. I actually ended up setting the fastest lap of the race during the second stint, so I didn't really back of.
