GeneRally Career 2 [excel]

Hi Everyone,
I figured it best to just use the same topic as its still the same basic 'tool'. Finally, after being at 90% for months, and having tested and tested in recent weeks, I think the 2nd version of the GeneRally Career is ready for release.
Following the release of the first version I created at the start of the year, the feedback indicated you wanted more flexibility for customisation. So I went away, and starting with just the basic concept started essentially from scratch.
When I reviewed the first version, one of the key areas that hindered the customisation was the tier system I had used, with the option of starting in one of the 5 classes. This also meant a perhaps unrealistic tier system, how many have got to F1 through NASCAR?
Gone is the pyramid format, and now we I've used a linear 10 class progression. I've reworked the XP, simplified the race information areas (I hope) and developed a fully customisable career with an easy method of refreshing it each year.
To do this I've created a few 'presets' which I plan on adding to as and when needed. But I also invite you all to create your own presets and share them here with others.
Hopefully GeneRally 2 will be out for release in the not too distant future, at which point I will revisit GRC version 3.
Once again the combined documents are too large for the forum, so I've uploaded them onto my skydrive. Any problems, just drop me a message

This requires Microsoft Excel to run I know nothing about programming and can use excel at work so that is why it uses this.
Hi All,
During a few boring days at work, I've been working on a Career mode document, its taken a while, and a big redesign, but I'm pretty sure its ready now.
There are 21 categories, each of which can be customised, as can the tracks. By getting good race results, you earn XP to unlock higher categories. Each race result needs to be entered, but can be done at the end of your season (A print sheet can be printed onto 2 sides of A4 to assist in setting up the seasons).
All results are tracked and statistics are kept as well as those of your competitors. Driver files are included although unfortunately these cannot be edited in the Excel document. An option file is also included, but not essential as the setting I recommend can be found in the document.
A full explanation can be found on the 'About' page, I strongly suggest you read this first.
Feel free to take a look. Hopefully you will find this fairly easy to use, relatively self-explanatory, and error free. But if there are any issues, don't hesitate to let me know!
There are two versions available, one made up of real life classes and tracks, another using cars and tracks from the monthly CoM & ToM elections!
Unfortunately they are large in file size, so I have uploaded them to my SkyDrive, which will hopefully work as an alternative. Also I recommend to install a fresh version of GR so as to not ruin your current game!

I tried to make something like this before, but it was an epic fail 
Sky Drive download appears to be okay, I'll try it now! It's nice to have a purpose to race, rather than just running random races or series.
Otherwise I think it is very well done, a good first concept
