1. Open the DB you want to edit in the PCM Fast Editor.
2. Go to STA_race and click "Add". A new line with the ID already filled will appear.
3. Fill the line. Here's a brief explanation of each column: gene_sz_race_name: Name of the race gene_sz_race_name_nolicence: Just put the same thing of the above one Country: well.. the country - see STA_country for the country IDs fkIDnewUCIclass: choose the category of the race: 1.HC, 2.1 - see STA_UCI_class for this fkIDseason_class: 0 First and last stage: skip these for now Popularity: whatever you want the popularity of your race to be gene_i_number_stages: number of stages of your race, 1 if it's a classic game_b_isactive: make sure it's ticked/has a 1 gene_i_min and max cyclist: minimum and maximum cyclists per team in the race gene_sz_mail_organisateur: email of the organization, put whatever you want gene_ilist_fkID_team: list of teams that will appear when you play your race in single play and choose 'Real teams' fkIDLastRaceLeader: 0 constant: whatever you like - basically it only defines the name of the race logo file, if you have one (* the race logo file should be placed on Program Files/Cyanide/PCM11/Gui/race_logo) local_temp_count: 0 gene_sz_classification_xml: the file that will set the bonuses (points for points/KoM classement, time bonuses, etc).. normally each race category has one, and the major races have their own. gene_f_organisateur_coeff: 0 gene_sz_variant_xml: the name of the files ruling the variants, if you have them for your race, and also the name the Startlist file for that race should have gene_b_aso: organized by ASO or not; gene_b_ForceProTour: if ticked, Pro Tour teams are forced to participate in the race.
4. Now, move on to STA_stage. Again click 'Add' for a new line, and add one line for each stage you have. Now fill the line: Race: choose your race in the dropdown menu/add the ID of your race Gene_i_day and month: well... day and month gene_i_computed_date: month number x 50 + day number. E.g.: March 15th = 3x50 + 15 = 165 gene_sz_stage_name: name of the stage that will appear in-game fkIDstage_type: 1 for road race, 2 for ITT, 3 for TTT fkIDrelief: 1 for flat, 2 for hilly, 4 for mountains gene_sz_stage_filename: the name of the file of the stage in Program Files/Cyanide/PCM11/CM_Stages Region: normally the country of the race, but if the race happens in a specific region (e.g. Vuelta al Pais Vasco) you can add a specific region (for country, see STA_country, for region, STA_region) gene_i_stage_number: number of the stage in the race, if it's a classic it's 1 feat_f_wind: power of the wind in the stage (from 0 to 100) feat_f_direction_wind: 999 for a random direction of the wind. Between 0 and 359 if you want to set the direction of the wind in your stage. Use it if you want to make realistic crosswinds in a special stage. gene_b_selected: ticked/1 gene_b_ladder and ladder_md5: not ticked and nothing gene_b_fake_stage: if your stage isn't 'real', tick it to hide information (e.g. mountain names etc) gene_f_time_gap: in-game time for a gap to be established in the results. Normally 20/15 for flat stages, 10 for hilly and 7 for mountain. 0 for ITT and 20 for TTT. Constant: nothing fkIDclimat: the climat of the stage, if you're using lists you'll see the name of each climat, just choose the one according to your race, if not take a look in STA_climat gene_b_hascobble: tick if the stage has cobblestones gene_f_mountain: Allows you to define which attribute (hill or mountain) is used by the game's AI when calculating effort. At 0 (or close to 0) it is the "hill" attribute; at 1 or close to 1 it is the "mountain" attribute gene_f_uphillsprint: Between 0 and 0,7. A 0,7 value will change the "Sprint" characteristic into "Hill" characteristic. Most of the time this attribute must be set to 0, but if you have a flat stage which arrives at the top of a little climb, set it to 0,7.
5. Go back to STA_race and fill in fkIDfirst and last_stage. If the first and last stages do not appear in the list, disable the 'lists in grid' and manually insert the ID of the first and last stages.
6. In the menu 'Database', click "Save the DB" or "Save the DB as", if you don't want to overwrite your initial file (I'd recommend the later)
7. Choose your DB in the game, play
Btw, don't forget to place the stage files in CM_stages. Good luck!

Bike racing has always held a special fascination for me, and I derive immense pleasure from immersing myself in the excitement pokedoku, strategy, and sheer adrenaline rush that this sport offers.
