===============================================================================

Car set-ups that can be used in Championship and Training Mode are listed 
below.
The presented set-ups may or may not work for everyone, depending on driving 
style, level of concentration and the TC/SC/ABS ratio you decide to apply, I 
used these settings without driving ads and racing with Logitech G25 racing 
wheel.
I often used the qualifying setting also for the race, only changing tyres 
compound and the engine mapping for more control of the car.
* Tyre compound vary related to race length and weather condition.
