With Finlay and I onyl getting ten points and Rocha's victory give Arrows ten, we didn't gain any points on BMW Arrows. That's really going to hurt us! I don't think we will be winning the Constructors championship. There would have be an utter disaster for us to even have a chance at winning it!

Welcome Gentlement! It was another eventfull race here in Hungary! Rocha came away with much needed victory today.
WSRC: Rocha, Over the course of the week, in testing and in qualifying, then in the race, where did things seem to come together for you? Was it the car, the track, what?
WSRC: Vincenzi, your Pole hadyou pegged for a great performance today, but Rocha seemed to have made up time since qualifying to take victory here today? What can you say about this?
WSRC: Finlay, a superb result today! yet another podium finish for you today! It looked like Glanville was going to run away with it until he spun midway through the race. Take us through those laps and when you ultimately snapped third from him?
WSRC: Rocha, Team Arrows suffered slight setback with Glanville getting blacked flaged for bad lap data! How does this effect the team morale, knowing that Vincenzi, who is tied with you for second, has moved closer to Glanville in the points?
WSRC: Vincenzi, your threat is real now! Only 14 points separates you and Glanville and there is plenty of races left for you to make up that gap. What can you say about this?
WSRC: Finlay, Team Porsche didn't quite get enough of a break today with Rocha coming home with the win! It's looking quite insurmountable that any attach on team Arrows wil garner enough points to win the Constructors Title! What can you say about that?
WSRC: Finlay, your final thought for Team Porsche today?
WSRC: Vincenzi, and your final thought on coming in second?
WSRC: Rocha, it's another win for you! Lets have your final thoughts of the day?

I'm gutted! I was reviewing all of the lap data, from the race and found that I to have caused an infraction in the rules! My lap data looks good, when it comes to the times and fuel consumption. But I then took a closer look at the plank wear and realized that I emailed Vincenzi one of my test laps, from earlier, in the day. You can see that the plank wear in lap six is .04 and .03. Then in lap seven, even though the fule cosumption is correct, the plank wear is .01 .01. I looked a little closer at my save files in GP4 and sure enough, I copied the wrong file to Vincenzi for verification. The result, this only leaves Porsche, 6 points, gained from Finlay's third place finish. So the team has actually lossed ground on BMW Arrows in the constructors race! Needless to say, this really sucks! Results have been edited to the following. Drivers Points Glanville 78 Vincenzi 64 Rocha 64 King 59 Finlay 53 Dalby 35 Bolman 19 Byrne 7 Basford 6 Constructors points Arrows 142 Porsche 112 Audi 64 KDR 35 Nokia 19 Clownpaint 13

Well, what can I say? His car was a bit unreal today. I won't comment beyond that...I'm glad to have taken my 3rd pole of the year though Things are indeed looking good, aren't they? Gotta be careful now, cause even thought he gap closed down considerably, Rocha is stepping on my toes, so gotta do better! Well, I'm glad to have taken once again, a good position on the podium. I'm kinda bugged cause due to some problems in the past, I wasn't able to have a good amount of points...just the fact of not finishing Hockenheim, made me lose 10 possible points...my gap could be of 4 points instead of 14...as I said, gotta do my best now.

No, thats cool dude. Should've checked before submitting anyway. Didnt really have the pace or the ability on this circuit as it turned out. Found it really difficult to be consistent. Congrats to Henrique, excellent drive. Opens up the championship somewhat eh

Yeah, it really does. I lost out on this as well. I could have had a one up on you! I could have legitimately gotten more points then you for the first time this season and closed up the points gap! Oh well, it wasn't meant to be for either one of us I guess.

WSRC: Rocha, over the course of the week, in testing and in qualifying, then in the race, where did things seem to come together for you? Was it the car, the track, what? HR: Ahh, the car for sure. After my qualifying run the gearbox got back to normal, so I could use the 7th gear on the race. And also, we were testing some parts of the 2006 car on this race, which seem not to have worked properly on the qualifying. I could even lower Vincenzi's pole-time! I believe that this, added to my will of catch my teammate on the WDC, helped me getting such performance and beat Vincenzi here.
WSRC: Rocha, Team Arrows suffered slight setback with Glanville getting blacked flaged for bad lap data! How does this effect the team morale, knowing that Vincenzi, who is tied with you for second, has moved closer to Glanville in the points? HR: I'm deeply sorry that this happened to Brian too. I recall seeing that dreadful flag when I was opening the last lap of the German GP. I thought my championship hopes were gone for good. Of course I could catch him back with today's events, but I'm not happy at all with the way it happened. We needed the points if we wanted to ensure our Constructors' Championship. You may say, "yeah but King was disqualified too so your lead actually increased". But if it was up to me, everybody would finish and get the points. Anyway, I hope Brian get good results on the coming races (preferrably second with me on the high step ;D) so we can get clear of Vincenzi on the Drivers' Championship and of Porsche, on the Constructor's Championship.
WSRC: Rocha, it's another win for you! Lets have your final thoughts of the day? HR: It was a great race for me after all. Even though Brian was disqualified, I got all the points I needed, and I ruled the race nonetheless! One thing that I want more than the WDC, though, is win 2 or more races in a row. Don't ask me why, I just feel like it!

WSRC: Finlay, a superb result today! yet another podium finish for you today! It looked like Glanville was going to run away with it until he spun midway through the race. Take us through those laps and when you ultimately snapped third from him? the start was good, although brian obviously made a better one and was able to pass me. on this track its near impossible to pass so i had to sit back and try and maintain the pressure on him. then yeah! off he went which let myself and my teammate through for some very much needed points! i must say i was a little bit miffed to see glanville get ahead of me though...
WSRC: Finlay, Team Porsche didn't quite get enough of a break today with Rocha coming home with the win! It's looking quite insurmountable that any attach on team Arrows wil garner enough points to win the Constructors Title! What can you say about that? it would appear that we dont have the outright pace at this stage of the season...arrows are very quick at the moment, as are team audi. its going to be very difficult to take points away from arrows if we continue to finish behind them.
WSRC: Finlay, your final thought for Team Porsche today? well...its disappointing to hear that king recieved a black flag for his efforts, and of course that doesnt help our constructors championship campaign.
