 Update: We've now added a Self-Installer. This is especially suited for people with no technical knowledge. Just double click the file after it's been downloaded and follow the instructions. When PCM is launched, make sure to choose OfficialRelease.cdb in Options -> Database.
You don't need both the .zip and the .exe. You only need one of them - choose yourself.

It's been a month and some weeks since our first version of our 2009 DB. Back then, only very few teams had presented their new shirt, not to mention their rosters. We knew that before-hand, and we hope that you guys enjoyed playing with it to limit the 'waiting time' for the proper 2009 databases.
Either way, it's now time for the V2, bringing even more of the good stuff to you. However, there's still some teams which haven't realised that we're in 2009. Therefore, there's 25 teams in the DB which still use their 2008 jersey. However, as we're adding these to the V3 of the DB whenever they are released, we'll make sure to post them at the forum too with the correct filenames, so you can easily implent them to your game without having to restart. That's a promise from us :)
So, what does the V2 include? We've previously presented the final team list and a list of new races. To that list, you can add the Spanish race Volta da Ascension. Other than that, there's no changes. So, let's go to the specifics!
