F1GP2 Are there default setups for computer cars?

Does anyone know if the computer controlled cars have a setup for each track, and is it possible to find out what this is? I ask because I would like to be able to follow computer cars and try to match their cornering speed but it is not easy unless you know you have similar downforce as them. Please e-mail answers! Thanks, Ian -- My e-mail address: ianbatty AT dial DOT pipex DOT com

no the comp cars don't really have setups, just valuesif you want to match straight speed then do this: qualify acc time for a min or two press up or down arrows to scroll through cars go to the longest straight on the course observe AI speeds from in***pit view set your 6th gear and rear wing to match you can also use the gp2rl rear wing mins which are good IMO 1 at hock and monza 8 at mon and hung 4 everywhere else enjoy!

The setup (and some other factors) of the computer cars is stored in the trackfiles. You should visit Pieter's (Now Sjon's) GP2 site for a trackeditor in development which allows you to change these values. There's also a small DOS util available to do this. Look around on the site and you'll find what you need. URL: http://volftp.tin.it/GP2/ Hope this helps...
