What you get

A line per country
The first country in the list wears the highlight, and every line carries its flag, name and value at its head.
Passes flagged
The editor flags each time one line passes another, and the music can drop on a pass.
Text at the moment
Pin one line of text to a year and it shows as the race passes that year.
Ends as a line chart
The last frame is a finished line chart, so the same chart works as a still.
