Is there a way to download the Race Series information as a flat file DB?

I want to put together a Track Guide, which would tell you by track and layout which category, series, and race number it appears in, along with the event type, Lap, PR, Reward, Fame, and cars Available.

I was thinking that this would be helpful for players interested in running certain tracks in certain cars. For example, If a player has little experience at Nürbergring, and wants to practice, say prior to Stage 5's generations challenge, then they could look at the track guide and find races at that cuircuit with cars with similar PRs to the Hommage.

I have been trying to do it manually, but that is very time consuming. The data is here, on Wikia, just locked in the HTML format. If it were available as a CSV format, then it could be brought into Excel and sorted fairly easily. It could then be shared back to the community.

Also once the data is extracted, it isn't that difficult to rearrange the data so that you could see it by car or by event type, etc.
