That was a close shave. I was doing my lap, and thought I was just doing really poor the whole track and then when I crossed the finish line couldn't even understand how I got that time. Anyway, about 3 hours to go ;D

I've compiled the results and sent them to Vincenzi and Finlay for verification. This was a nailbitter! Everyone was very competetive!. This will be fun to comentary! One of the closest finishes this season! Even third and fourth were very close! Two hours remaining for the final submitions deadline. There is still time to enter this race! Who knows, perhaps the late entery could put a difference on the outcome. Dalby, we wish you could participate! If you've got time, post your laps!

You mean that crash through 130R! I think the right rear tyre lost air pressure and that cause the spin. It had been feeling a bit loose since I went off earlier in the race. And on the last lap of all thing! ;D

Fixed that issues Viper! Welcome WSRC fans, to the 2005 Japanese GP. It a beautiful sunny day in the land of the rising sun! Testing this week has shown some impressive times and the qualifying grid looks very competetive for this event. On pole for the seventh time this season is Diogo Vincenzi of Brazil followed by his fellow contryman, Henrique Rocha. Both are looking for a strong finish here today. In third spot Matt Finlay followed by Lonnie King and in Fifth place if Brian Glanville. Glanville's qualifying of late has been a little slower then the rest of the field. Something I think he may not be accustom to, having many higher qualifying rankings earlier in the season. Anyway, here we go! One light, two lights, three lights, four lights, five light and there off! Rocha has the early lead over Vincenzi followed by Finlay King and then Glanville. Lap two, Rocha still holding off Vincenzi. Finlay is in third and Glanville takes fourth away from King. Lap three, Still only a second separates Rocha from Vincenzi. Finlay opens the gap from him and Glanville and king is close behind. Lap four, Rocha and Vincenzi are seperated by a mere 4 tenths of a second! Finlay is starting to pull away from Glanville and King. Lap five, Rocha opens the gap by a few tenths over Vincenzi. Finlay is now about two seconds ahead of Glanville King is just over a second behind him. Lap six, Rocha now has a second on Vincenzi. Finlay, in third, now has almost three seconds on Glanville. King gets a little off line coming through the S's and then again just before the underrpass. That's going to cost him big and it does. Now some 25 seconds back from Glanville! Lap seven, Rocha loses a few tenths to Vincenzi on that lap. About nineteen seconds back Finlay, is still about three seconds ahead of Glanville and King has a lot of catching up to do. Looks like he picked up some gravel from lap six as he strugles to maintain control of the car through 130R. Lap eight, Rocha opens the gap again, over Vincenzi. Finlay loses time to Glanville but still holds on. King may be in trouble! His times are back up their but it's sertainly getting interesting for him through 130R. Lap nine!, A seconds separates Rocha from Vnicenzi. Finlay Loses more ground to Glanville but still in third. King may be having tyre preasure issues but he's still moving fast and sets his personal fastest lap of the race. Lap ten, Rocha crosses the line one seconds ahead of Vincenzi to win the Japanese GP. Finlay takes third, Glanville takes fourth and King has a horrible crash coming through 130R. He couldn't handle it any longer! Whatever was happening to his car in the last few laps finaly did him in. What a horrible way to finish a race! Well this certainly puts the drivers title in an exciting positions for the final round of the season, two weeks from now, in Australia.
