Post Race Press Conference:
WSRC - Congratulations gentlemen! Despite the final outcome it was some what
interesting!
WSRC - Glanville, congratulations on the win! You were off pace from Rocha, as was everyone else! With everything turning upside down in the final lap, are you suprised to have won like this!
WSRC - King, you finished second today after starting fifth on the grid. Were you a bit suprised to find yourself finishing the race on the podium?
King - Absolutely! With Vincenzi and Rocha in the field and my teammate, Finlay, performing better then me all weekend, I really felt that I was going to be finishing up the field. It's unfortunate however, to see such results in a race. Naturally you want everyone to come home without any issues and let the race be as it may be! But I'll take what I can get though I don't fee completely deserving of this finish.
WSRC - Finlay, you were running in fourth ahead of your teammate and spu twice in the closing laps! Can you give us a bit of detail as to what happened?
WSRC - Glavnille - You now lead King by 17 points in the Drivers Title! With seven races to go, do you feel confident about your chances of winning the title?
WSRC - King, As I just mentioned to Glavnille, 17 points separates the two of you. Do you see any hopes of catching him to make a run for the title!
King, well that really is a tall order! Glanville has outperformed me in just about every race! Yes, I'd like to win the title, but with seven races still remaining and my teammate hot on my tail, not to mention Vincenzi and Rocha are both within striking distance, I can only hope that things improve for me!
WSRC - Finlay, do you have anything to add to that, being that you are only six points behind King?
WSRC - King, well the results today pull Team Porsche that mucht closer to Team Arrows in the Constructors Title! What are your thoughts?
King - Well, it's fantastic! Every bit helps. Finlay has done an oustanding job durring the mid season! For both of us to finish on the podium again is great! With a few solid victories we could catch up to them a bit! But we've got to keep the momentum going!
WSRC - Finlay, Your final thoughts on your performance today?
WSRC - Glanville! You've got the last word! What can you tell us about todays race?

Reporter: Rocha, what happened today? HR: No comments. Reporter: Do you think FIA found your fuel illegal? HR: I've told you, no comments. Reporter: Rocha, give us at least a word! HR: It's f*****g frustating when you're not totally responsible for being black-flagged.

Post Race Press Conference: WSRC - Glanville, congratulations on the win! You were off pace from Rocha, as was everyone else! With everything turning upside down in the final lap, are you suprised to have won like this! Yes, my teammate had proven his ability to pull away and take this race with ease, at least from me. Certainly Vincenzi could have tormented him for it though. I'm really surprised i was in this position. WSRC - Glavnille - You now lead King by 17 points in the Drivers Title! With seven races to go, do you feel confident about your chances of winning the title? To be honest, looking at the table now, i feel much more comfortable. I'm not untouchable by a long shot, but i as long as i can keep coming up with podiums or 4th places i'll be able to keep in contention for the title. WSRC - Glanville! You've got the last word! What can you tell us about todays race? Well, what can i say. I came to this race expecting to finish 4th or so, to win the race was something incredible for me. I feel sorry for Michael, Diogo, and of course Henrique. He was on fire in this race, and really deserved the win. Poor consolation for him, but i'm glad i was there to take the win and at least keep up the fight in the constructors.

WSRC - Finlay, you were running in fourth ahead of your teammate and spu twice in the closing laps! Can you give us a bit of detail as to what happened? i know, totally my fault. i jusy got a bit....overeager on my downchanges into the first chicane and the car just snapped away. very frustrating, then next time around i knew i had to try and make up a bit of time, losing 10 seconds hurts so i tried to minimise the time loss, but unfortunately i spun again and that pretty much sealed it. last lap i pretty much cruised as brian and lonnie were too far ahead.
WSRC - Finlay, do you have anything to add to that, being that you are only six points behind King? i think for me the championship is perhaps a tad unrealistic because all glanville has to do is finish basically. he's very quick, but my goal is to match him on the rest of the circuits. we've had some great battles this year.
WSRC - Finlay, Your final thoughts on your performance today? disappointed obviously, the car just wasnt working all weekend...we'll look foward to hungary now.

WSRC - Diogo, your comments on this race? Most unfortunate. During the qualifying runs we were having an excellent time, the car was running very well, but it seems the current car is having problems. When the race started, the launch control went dead and the car died too. We tried doing something on the pits, but it was too late already. We are currently looking into bringing back the same package we used at Imola that proved to be our best to date. I think using that package plus the engine that we used here in Hockenheim our chances will be vastly improved.
WSRC - Glanville has also now gotten a very large lead on you and Rocha... Yes, that's true. There's still a chance for me to get the championship but I can't afford to lose any races from here on and hope the results come into my favor. That's why Audi will be testing extensively during the next 2 weeks in hopes to win the folowing races.

I made a miscalculation in the drivers points.
Drivers Points
Glanville 72 King 55 Vincenzi 46 Rocha 46 Finlay 42 Dalby 32 Bolman 19 Byrne 7 Basford 6
This didn't effect the constructors points I had done the math correctly there.
