*The first 32 managers in the season standings after Race 2 will take part in cup competition (this is considered stage 1). The initial pairing after Race 2 will be done as follows: the first 8 of the season standings after Race 2 will be seeded like in any common knockout system whereas all others will be randomly assigned.

New liveries are added as an on-going basis, so if you think any are missing, please don't hesitate to contact the graphics team, or post a request in [http://www.gpro.se/forum/ViewTopic.asp?TopicId=5195 this thread]
