XSR SetupGuide
Intro:
This setup guide is for use with GTR2 sim racing, although Im sure it could be applied to other games. Its purpose is
to give drivers with minimal knowledge about making their car fast for any given race a resource to go to about how to
set their car up. It also helps some of us veterans out. I know it has helped me a lot over the years. Be sure to use this
guide in Simulation Mode of the game so that aids dont interfere with your results for each change you make.
This guide is an adaptation of one I found years ago. Im just updating it a little bit. The original author used a table
format and so will I. Make sure to turn some laps before making any changes to take note of what the car is doing so
you can start at Step 0. One last minute note; make sure to save between successful steps so that if you make a negative
change you can revert back to what was previously working. Push each change as far as you can to find the line
between positive change and negative change, but make changes in small increments to avoid going too far.
