A Conversation for The Bahrain Grand Prix 2004 Race Report
Good work.

A couple of small points:
"and everyone has pitted twice by Heidfeld by lap 28."
If you mean that Heidfeld was the last to pit how about going for something along the lines of "Heidfeld's pit on lap 28 finished this round of stops."
Cut this bit - "His place was taken by a cone on the track at turn 4, as they both stand the same chance of ever being World Champion."
there's no need to kick a man when he's down and it spoils what has been a fairly balanced piece of writing.
Other than that it's good, the short sentances give a sense of excitement.

Also I don't think your name needs to be in the title, it's already on the right hand side as author 
The easiest way to get the table of results in is to make it in word then save it as html, open it in notepad and copy everything between the and tags (including them) and paste it into the bottom of your race report.
Give me a shout if you can't get the table right and I shall see what I can do

Good work.

Ok, I just had a quick look at the HTML that word spits out and it's nowhere as clean as it used to be 
I have created the code you will need, the tags are as follows:
- This creates your table outline
- This creates a new row in your table
- This creates a header cell within a row
- This creates a data cell within a row
Don't forget that you must close the tage in order eg.
- open the table - Open row 1 - Open cell 1 row 1 - Close cell 1 row 1 - Open cell 2 row 1 - Close cell 2 row 1 - Close row 1 - Open Row 2 - Open cell 1 row 2 - Close cell 1 row 2 - Open cell 2 row 2 - Close cell 2 row 2 - Close row 2
- close the table
I've done the code for the results table just copy and paste it into the bottom of your entry. Don't forget to make sure your entry is in GML mode! Also you might like to put a header before it, to do this use the Put Your Title here or Put a sub title here

Thank you! I think I've made all the changes now. But I still think my sentence about Coulthard was the best in the report.
Good work.
E G Mel Posted Apr 29, 2004
I'm not saying it wasn't a good sentance or that I don't agree with it
It's just that up until that point you have a very balance report showing little favouritism, to add the jibe about DC didn't add anything to it.
