Sorry, I haven't been online since yesterday afternoon. I didn't have all the files I needed! I'll get them to you sometime today.
Also, GameSlayer, never sent me anymore laps! But I want to include him in the race, so this is what I'll do:
Late submitions are good until noon today, board time. So he still has time to submit those final laps and then I'll use his fastest lap from what he has already sent me for qualifying. Since this is his first race in the series and I realize that it can be a bit confusing and so if I do not receive anymore laps, then I'll just place him at the back of the grid and use the ten laps he has sent me as his race laps instead of using his fastest lap for qualifying.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, GS, but I never received your final set of laps.

Qualifying so far! Rocha 1:17.546 Vincenzi 1:17.676 Finlay 1:18.424 Glanville 1:18.672 King 1:20.689 Dalby 1:20.961 Adeneken - Still waiting for race laps! 2hours 40 minutes remaining for late entrie submitions! GS, don't worry if you submit late laps. If you are as fast in race trim as you are in qualifying, you should still fair pretty well! You are in the race no matter what, as I've stated above!

I'm sorry that I have to do this to Game Slayer but I just realized that his qualifying laps are not consecutive laps so we can't use them as race laps! I'll need a set of ten consecutive race laps to allow him to finish the race. He has qualified on the grid however, but since his race laps aren't in yet, he will be at the back of the grid for the start of the race. Game Slayer, I'm hopping you get this in time so you can submit your race laps!Here is the final qualifying grid along with Grid dissadvantage points. Rocha 1:17.546 Vincenzi 1:17.676 +.1 Finlay 1:18.424 +.2 Glanville 1:18.672 +.3 King 1:20.689 +.4 Dalby 1:20.961 +.5 Adeneken 1:17.680 +.6 Good luck in the race everyone!

The results are in!!!
Comentary: Weclome race fans to the 2005 British GP at the beautiful Silverstone circuit and what a gorgeous day it is! Qualifying for this race was absolutely astounding as the top driver were mear tenths of a second from one another. Here is how they will line up for todays race! Rocha gets pole by Vincenzi less then 2 tenths. Finlay sits in Third just shy of 8 thenths back. In Fourth is Glanville who is 2 tenths behing Finaly. King and Dalby are 5th and 6th respectively. But on the back of the grid is a newcomer to the WSRC, Michael Adenekan. His qualifying time would have placed him third on the grid, but he was a late entry so he is placed at the back of the grid. I susspect that we will see Adenekan make his way up through the field as he's much faster then some of the guys in front of him. Well, the the race is about to biging. The lights are on!... And we're racing at Silverstone! Oh my goodness, Michael Adenekan car has stopped on the grid! What a terrible way to start his season. I'm sure he is very upset about that. Rocha, takes the early lead but is followed closely by Vincenzi, Finlay and Glanville. King and Dalby finish up the field. Lap two, Rocha extends his lead by a few thens of a second. Vincenze is getting preassure from Finay and Glanville! King's pace picks up a bit and Dalby's no faster then the lap before putting a couple of seconds behind king. Lap three, Rocha is now two seconds ahead of Vincenzi and Finaly putting a lot of pressure on Vincenzi. Glanville is almost 8tenths behing Finlay. Five seconds back we see King followed by Dalby, about four seconds be him. Lap four, Rocha now three seconds ahead of Vincenzi and Finlay who are side by side, a mear two one hundredths of a second separate the two. Glanville sits two seconds back from them. King, now six seconds back from Glanville leads Dalby by almost five seconds. Lap five, we are at the halfway point and Rocha now four seconds ahead of the duel between Vincenzi and Finlay, neither one wanting to give up their position. These two are giving us some exciting racing!!! Glanville site two seconds behind them and ten seconds back is King followed by Dalby who picks up a seconds on King. Lap six, Rocha is five seconds ahead of Vincenzi and Finlay who are still not giving one another any room!!! Glanville holds steady behind them and dropping off from the rest of the field is King and Dalby. Lap seven, Rocha holds his lead and Vincenzi and Finlay are just as determined as ever! I don't know how they can keep this up!!! Meanwhile, with the two of them battling it out Glanville closes in on them a little. Some 14 seconds back we seen King still leading Dalby by four seconds. Lap 8, Rocha's lead has opened up to almost seven seconds and I just can get over the fight we have for seconds place! It's has been non-stop!!! Everywhere you go, there's Vincenzie and Finlay, side by side! Just incredible!!! Glavnille is now within a second of them so they better whatch out or they will see the black and red Arrow's fly by them!!! I've got so say that King and Dalby must be dissapointed that they cannot keep pace with everyone else. King. himself, has been doing so well in the mid season and it's starting to unravel for him. Lap nine, two to go, Rocha holds his lead to the fighting duo of Vincenzi and Finlay. But at any moment Glanville could strike and pass they them both! King and Dalby finish up the field with one lap to go! Here he is , on his last lap and Rocha, has won the British GP and by almost 3 tenths of a second Vincenzi holds off Finlay, followed by Glavnilel a seconds back. King crosses the line 21 seconds later and five seconds later we see Dalby. Race fans, it just doesn't get any better then this!!!! Unbelievable!!!
The final results are as follows:
Rocha 13:03:816 Vinceizi 13:10:814 Finlay 13:11:286 Glnaville 13:12:524 King 13:33:825 Dalby 13:38:459 Adenekan DNF
Fastest Laps
Rocha 1:18.117 Vincenzi 1:18.462 Finlay 1:18.850 Glanville 1:18.625 King 1:20.461 Dalby 1:21.076

Post Race Press Conference!
WSRC: Welcome gentlemen to the WSRc British GP post race press conference and a welcome back Rocha and Vincenzi.
WSRC: Rocha, You lead from start to finish and made it look easy! Tell us how you prepared for this race!
WSRC: Vincenzi, you had quite a challenge on your hands with Finlay. things certainly have changed since the begining of the season! Did you ever think that a Porsche driver would be challenging you for a podium finish?
WSRC: Finlay, You have done a remarkable job and have improved quite tremendously from the begining of the season. Tell us what it was like, racing against Vincenzi?
WSRC: Rocha, Both you and Vincenzi are tied for third place in the championship after sitting out the mid season and your teammate, Glanville has held the torch for the team since you've been away! tell us how you feel about your chances for the rest of the season?
WSRC: Vincenzi, With your absence, the other teams have pulled ahead a bit on the Constructor Championship and tied with Rocha, for third, in the Drivers Championship, where do you see Team Audi, in the near future?
WSRC: Finlay: Do you feel that with Rocha and Vincenzi back and the fact that you were able to preassure Vincenzi throughout the race, give you the confidence to that you and team Porsche are not just another team in the field?
WSRC: Finlay, also, tell us were you see your team in the coming races! Are you feeling another victory coming to you?
WSRC: Vincenzi, With the field closing up in the points, every place matters! You must be thrilled that team Audi is back in the hunt! Give you final thoughts for todays race!
WSRC: Rocha, again congratulations for winning the British GP! Please give us your final thoughths?

All other driver post their comments:
King: I was pretty dissapointed with my results today! Myteammate was much faster then I was and we were running the exact same setup so it's all on my shoulders really! I'm happy for Finlay and very excitied that team Porsche got another podium finish this season. But with team Arrows back in full suit, my hopes of our team bringing home the contrsuctors title is looking a somewhat bleak! Hopefully we can find the chink in their armor soon!

First of all, it's really good to be back. After my crash at Barcelona, I was unable to race for the next race and then our car started to have a few stablility problems that left us out of the other races. It went to show this race aswell, with the obvious superior car from Arrows. As for the question, I never doubted the capabilities of the Porsche engines and drivers. I think it's great that they are able to come close to the front field now and compete for a good place on the championship.
Well, I never aimed for a constructor championship. Even though it would be really good, with one driver this would be really hard. My aim now is to get the best possible place in the drivers table, if possible the cup.
I'm glad to be back, today's race was really exciting as we saw and it was a great battle back there holding Finlay. The car was not up to what I wanted and I only developed its full potential on the last lap with the 1:18.462 I did. So now we gotta do a better job setting up the car and hopefully grab a win there next race.

I checked and everything seems to be in order. If anybody has new liveries I'd like to have them in a zip file apart from a wad file. I am hoping to come up with a WSRC mod with a few extra goodies So Rocha, you got a new car, if I could have that, and I'm also waiting for Game Slayer's livery too.
