Does anyone know if this is possible? I've tried the Custom Championship Creator for rFactor but it doesn't work.

ReadMe for the Unofficial Championship Creator for Game Stock Car 2012
Created by FerrariMan96
--------------------------------------------------
Thankyou for downloading my program/batch file!
TBH I don't know why I'm thanking you because I get 0 benefit out of this (RaceDepartment must earn more from the ads due to you visiting the page that this was hosted on) but, hey, anyway, thanks!
Anyway, onto more important matters.
This batch file was 'inspired' by CTDP's Championship Manager NX for rFactor that allowed you to create championships for rFactor with ease, as you were able to select cars and tracks and other stuff through I nice simple and clean user interface, rather than having to go and manually create the .aos files.
Being a batch file, this does not have the same clean UI that CTDP's Championship Manager has, but it's not too bad. In any case, it's better than going and creating the .aos files manually because the program does all the 'formatting' manually and any user inputs are made via entering numbers, Ys, Ns, or Xs through the keyboard and pressing enter. Simple :).
So, have fun with easy creation of championships :P.

--------------------------------------------------
Usage:
1. Make sure that the package extracted to a clean directory (i.e. with nothing else in the folder). This is highly recommended because the program creates and deletes temporary files and directories in the location of the .bat file
2. Change the text in the config.ini to read the directory of your Game Stock Car 2012 install (including the actual GSC2012 folder). For most people, this will be "C:\GSC2012", "C:\Program Files\GSC2012" or "C:\Program Files (x86)\GSC2012", or perhaps you're like me and use a special "GAMES" directory, in which case you would have the game installed under "C:\GAMES\GSC2012". Also, DO NOT USE QUOTES!
3. You are now able to run the batch file! You can run it normally by double-clicking on the .bat file, however I recommend that the program is launched via the shortcut, as this makes the window and font-size larger and uses a nicer Yellow-on-Green colourscheme :)
--------------------------------------------------
Troubleshooting/FAQ:
Problem: The list of tracks doesn't show up!
Cause: The directory specified in the config.ini file was probably incorrect.
Solution: Check that the correct directory was entered in the config.ini file. Also make sure that there are no spaces before or after the directory and that it is on the top line of the file.
Problem: My championship doesn't show up in game!
Cause 1: You have the wrong rFm loaded in game.
Solution 1: In the Main Menu of Game Stock Car 2012, press one of the arrow buttons in the bottom-left corner until the name of the correct rFm for the cars to be used in your championship shows up.
Cause 2: You terminated the program premeturely.
Solution 2: In the folder that the batch file is located in, go into the tempfiles folder and there may be a file with the extension .aos. Depending on where the batch file was terminated, you can manually copy it over to the rFm folder in your Game Stock Car 2012 install. However, I recommend just starting again.
--------------------------------------------------
IMPOTANT NOTE:
The program supports the use of add-on tracks, as it scans all tracks in the Game Stock Car 2012 installation directory specified. It does not, however, support the use of mods that contain additional cars - not that any exist as far as I know. Why would you want them anyway? The stock content is great! Modding is what rFactor is for :)
--------------------------------------------------
Changelog:
Current Version: 1.0
Planned updates:
When Reiza release the Mini Challenge DLC I will add the functionality for using the Mini Challenge Cars for a custom championship. Currently, if you select the Mini Challenge option, it will give a 'this is not available yet' message.
--------------------------------------------------
Known issues:
None, other than that the Mini Challenge cars are not yet available so I was unable to make the program write the information for using those cars in a championship.
Please notify me of any issues you find via PM at RaceDepartment.com.
