WSRC - Vincenzi, congratulation to your victory hear today! That brings your season victories to six. One ahead of Rocha. How do you feel going into the final two rounds of the season? Thank you. We did a great race today and it was good to win here at Spa. I think we are ready for the next two races, specially with the new car. Hopefully I can win the two next races and have more vitories then Rocha in the end!
WSRC - Vincenzi, You've closed to three points on Glanville and Rocha is two points behind you? Rocha will be fighting you every step of the way and Glanville will surely be trying to defent his lead. What are your thought on the points race? Today's race put us exatcly in the place we needed to be. Ahead of Rocha, and with a smaller gap to Glanville. All the team needs now is keep doing the job and get the results we need the following two races.
WSRC - Vincenzi, congratulation once again! You have the last words! Well, I am glad with the performance today. Everyone did a great race, specially in conditions like this with a lot of rain coming down. Lonnie finishing third was also good cause it brought us closer to the championship battle. The car was also really well setup, I had no problems of balance, which is sign of a good job from the team. All in all, perfect race for us today.

Lonnie, in your commentary, you said that I was two poles short of Rocha. That's not really true. We both have six poles now. You must have looked the total poles from the team, and that's 8 cause of the two poles from Glanville in mid-season

I'll make the correction when I post the results in the news archives.

I'm still waiting for Lex to post his responses to the press conference questions, before I post the news update.

WSRC: Rocha, You put in a valiant effort today. You and Vincenzi rocketed off the starting line, leaving the rest of the field in your wake. Obviously, I'm sure, you would have liked to have won this race. You were hold onto Vincenzi for a little bit but then started to fall back off the pace. What would you say attributed to this? HR: I don't know. The car just slowed down.
WSRC: Rocha, only two points behind Vincenzi. It's a close points race to the end of the season. Give us your take on the turn of events that have brought the drivers championship to where it is today? HR: My absence on 3 races and my disqualification on the German GP. Even if I hadn't taken part in those 3 races, I would have a 10 points gap to Vincenzi and 2 victories in a row, thing that I desire since the start of the season. Now I'm just pi$$ed off with the result of that race.
WSRC: Rocha, your final thoughts on todays race? HR: I lost. As simple as that.

I dont think we should have more wet races until we have some sort of decent system to control the level of rain on the track. I've got screwed by the system in this race. I even got lapped in that race. I just think that its not really fair. Spa happens to be one of my favourite tracks and one that i could've challenged for the win surprisingly and yet i was lapping on average 12 seconds a lap slower than Rocha and Vincenzi. Whats that about?

Well I know this may sound unpopular to some people, but what if we cut out rain altogether? There really isn't a way to lock in a specific weather pattern in GP4, that I know of.

Indeed there isn't. The only true way to get everyone in the same playing field would be indeed to cut rain off the whole thing. I personally don't mind it, but I can see how some people would not like it. In the mean time, I'll see what I can find about weather editing in Gp4. If I can find a better system, I'll present it later. For the time being, we could put the next two races on dry? Wouldn't be a big loss IMO. Then we can see for next season, what we'll be doing about it.

Dont get me wrong, i dont mind driving in the wet, in fact sometimes it can be an excellent and enjoyable challenge. My problem is that the weather conditions seemed to be different for everyone. I'm happy to race if everyones racing in monsoon or light drizzle, as long as the storm clouds arent just over me

yeah, for me i choose the medium blue wet weather (not monsoon, but not light drizzle either), but i wouldnt cry if we decided to cut rain once and for all.

I'm happy to race if everyones racing in monsoon or light drizzle, as long as the storm clouds arent just over me We can't garantee the same weather for everyone though, that's the problem. I had rain set to 100% but I can't deny I waited for the best condition to go out and do my laps. It was in wet weather, but I found that sometimes I was good in it and some not. I think dropping the rain for the next 2 races would be good and then we can discuss it for next season well. I don't feel totally good about dropping it though, cause i think it makes things more real. Let's wait and see how it looks for Suzuka before we decide something though...hopefully it wont rain there

Well one of things I notice when loading a track is this. If you reload the track weather a few times, you will notice that there are some forcast that call for one type of rain pattern throughout. Beit medium rain or sometimes heavy rain. I think what we can do is. If the race admin calls for rain then we would all setup GP4 so that the weather forecast shows All the bars full of the medium blue color and nothing else! It just takes a few reloads to get this setting most of the time. It's this rain pattern that seems very manigable in 100% weather.
Does this make sense to everyone?

Yeah, it makes sense. Not sure if it's 100% foolproof though as there were times that I could not do so well in the circuit then others, even looking for the full medium blue bars...
