I haven't recieved your laps Diogo! I can give you until Noon today to get them in for a late submittion.
Matt, I got your files but you didn't send laps seven and eight or your qualifying. I'll give you the same time frame as Diogo to get those files to me.
Edit: Crap, looks like I forgot to send you my qualifying hotlap Diogo so I just sent it to you and gave myself a penalty.
Good luck guys.
here is the qualifying results so far.
Glanville 1:23.726 Dalby 1:32.339 King 1:28.948 (late file submition)

Post race Press Conference!
Welcome gentlemen to the French Grand Prix post race press conference. Glanville was our winner today and the Porsche drivers Finlay and King finished seconds and third respectivly.
WSRC = Glanville Congratulations to your second win in a row! You were fastest in Qualifying and fastes in the race. Take us through that opening lap where you had trouble and Finaly was able to slip by?
WSRC = Finlay, You had the pace but you two had a couple of moments out on the track. Can you take us through those?
WSRC = King you finished a distant third! Can you tell us what went wrong for you today?
King = Well, I'm a bit disgusted with my performance today. I fought with the car on many occassions. I think I only put in a few decent laps but other then that it was hardest for me to keep my speed up in the first sector. It wasn't until the final lap that I really started to feel comfortable with the track and the way the car was performing.
WSRC = Glanville, now you lead the world Championship! You must be very pleased! Though with rumors that Diogo is coming back very soon, maybe even in the next race in Britain, do you think you will be able to give him a good run?
WSRC = Finlay, on lap 6 you went off and lost much needed time to Glanville! Can you take us through that moment? What went wrong?
WSRC = King, Team Porsche has really benefitted from much of what has transpied this season. You are closing the gap on Team Arrows now only 24 points behind! Could there be a possibility of a Constructors title?
King = Well it's too soon to tell! Much could happen late in the season but as things stand they look pretty good? The team has done an exceptional job and we've had some really good races. with the possibility of Diogo coming back things could get mixed up a bit but we will do our best?
WSRC = Glanville, we are just past the halfway point in the season, can you feel the hopes of bringing the World Championship to team Arrows and to your home country?

I am praying for a dry race next round!!!!
I am chuffed that I can stay on the track for 10 laps in the wet as I usually struggle, but I find it very difficult to fine tune my setup to get a lot of pace out of the car, making me so uncompetitive.
It's been an experience this season!

Post race Press Conference! WSRC = Glanville Congratulations to your second win in a row! You were fastest in Qualifying and fastes in the race. Take us through that opening lap where you had trouble and Finaly was able to slip by? Well, what can i say? Everything went perfectly this weekend. We had a great package and the car really was very competitive, even in the hazardous conditions. The team did a great job. I'm chuffed to get my second win. I was very slow off the start line and had Finlay come up on the inside. He was ahead almost instantly and then Lonnie with a very late braking manuveur managed to pass me into the hairpin. Looked great even from my position. First lap was a toughie for me WSRC = Glanville, now you lead the world Championship! You must be very pleased! Though with rumors that Diogo is coming back very soon, maybe even in the next race in Britain, do you think you will be able to give him a good run? Never thought i'd be leading the wsrc, makes me very proud. With Diogo coming back things will be more difficult, but if i can just do my own thing and hopefully take some points off him, i could win this. But theres a lot to do yet. To be honest, i think Belgium is my next really good track, i'm not too great at Silverstone so should be interesting. It'll be damage limitation there i think, i'll be happy with 3rd or so. WSRC = Glanville, we are just past the halfway point in the season, can you feel the hopes of bringing the World Championship to team Arrows and to your home country? Well, you've got to admire the determination and dramatic improvement of the Porsche lately. It's going to be difficult to maintain the constructors championship with Henrique still unavailable. But who knows maybe he can be persauded to return!! We'll have to wait and see.

yeah, i got a great start, was able to pass glanville into the first corner, very close racing and im surprised we didnt touch. i knew i had to settle down and find a rhythm and try and keep the lead, but glanville was always challenging putting me under huge pressure and he finally got past in a well timed manouever. he was obviously faster than me but i felt that if i kept pushing a bit it may put him under a little pressure, and maybe he would make a mistake, but he didnt and full credit to him today! it happened in the chicane after adelaide hairpin, and that was a really difficult corner because the downchanges had to be near perfect or else the car would become unbalanced. unfortunately in my haste to slow the car down, i changed down one too many times, the back end started drifting out and i spun off into the gravel trap, fortunately not damaging the car. the team thought there was damage and called me to come in but that would've meant losing places to king and dalby, so i pressed on. very difficult conditions today, im pleased with 2nd.

I made a mistake in the points as I never took in to consideration the points for the US Grand Prix so the season results look like this. Brian Glanville 57 Lonnie King 43 Diogo Vincenzi 38 Henrique Rocha 36 Iain Dalby 29 Matt Finlay 28 Daniël Bolman 19 Reece Byrne 7 Jack Basford 6 Constructors Title Team Arrows 93 Team Porsche 73 Team Audi 38 Team KDR 29 Team Nokia 19 Team Clownpaint 13 WOW! I never thought I would be sitting in second place in the championship! Although with Diogo coming back, I don't see that staying that way for very long!
