GTR2 Setup Questions (New to this Game, but not sims)

I have a few basic questions regarding GTR2, and figured this would be a good place to look for answers. I played the Nascar racing sim alot back in the old days (remember TEN), but haven't really played much in the last 5-6 years. Broke out the old wheel (TSW) and purchased GTR2 and have been playing around with the game off-line. Trying to learn tracks and get the hang of things before I venture online. Question 1: Is there a Setup Guide for GTR2 that someone has wrote? Back in the old days of Nascar, Team LightSpeed had a 40-50 page guide to the settings and affects, is there anything comparable for GTR2? Question 2: What are the optimal tire temps to try and obtain? I know on the Nascar sim you were looking for 215-230 depending on length of race. What should my readings be on this game, and how many laps before I should check. I ran 5-6 laps the other night and the tire temps were 109-112 range I think. Didn't know what to make of it. Also, is there an optimal tire pressure that I should be aiming for. I know the tires build up pressure with heat and use, so wondering if there is a range I should be shooting for during a run? Question 3: Is there an optimal temp for the fluids? What's good and bad? Need to know how much to close up openings and such. Question 4: Is there a guide to how to use the Motec Software? Is this usable without in-game recording? With this on the game seems to skip a little and I'm running practice laps by myself. I have a pretty decent PC so this suprised me (3.2 GHZ w/ 1 GIG RAM). Question 5: Any sites that are don't miss with regards to this game? English sites please. Been mostly using NoGrips site. Thank you in Advance, feel free to answer any or all of the above. Chris

Try this site. They have links to motec & gtr2 setup guides as well as answers to your other questions. Be patient, it's a bit slow. http://forum.rscnet.org/forumdisplay.php?s=379eba7f98c2add2bd5578811084c290&f=1096 "Chris LaVelle" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
