clarification on a couple of things in NR2003

Hey Guys, I would like some help on a few things in NR2003 that I can't
figure out:

1) What do GNS, Cup Damage do? Do they have their own physics?
2) What is the difference in Arcade mode to Sim mode?
3) Does the game have a proper "Shift-R" like in GPL?
4) When I enable adaptive speed control, and start from the back, do they go
really slow until I pass them all?
What I mean is, Do the AI work better with it off or on?
5) Where can I get some really good base setups for PWF/TPTCC?

Thanks for your time :-)

1. Typical damage model, bent metal, broken wheels, blown engines.
There is a patch by PWF that "adds" to the visual damage, such as caved
in door panels. Each model "drives" a little different, if that is what
you mean by their own physics.
2. Arcade is easier to drive, less accurate and more forgiving.
3. No shift r function.
4. They seem to drive a baseline speed and then depending on how you
drive, they adjust from there. I personally, prefer the setting that
adjusts AFTER the race (can't recall the actual term in the game for
it). I can run a series of races at a track that I am weaker at and the
game constantly adjusts the AI % over time. After about 10 10% races, I
usually kick it up a click above the generated % and use that until I
improve again.

I think I can help with a couple of your questions:

Sim vs Arcade-In Sim mode your car set up dtermines how the car
acts....in Arcade you are driving a basic pre set car set up.

Adaptive Speed-the cars don't go slow until you pass them, but they do
seem to let you catch up. I use it and often I can pass the pack but
not the lead 1 or 2 cars...and sometimes I can. What they do is adapt
to your speed to some extent. I have found that even with Adaptive,
the "AI percentage" you set makes a big difference.

Hope this helps. Based on my observations, so if I am in error,
someone will I am sure--correct me.

Thanks for your help guys :-)

#3 Shift-R in N2003 will put the car back in the pit stall, with no damage
and new tires, which differs a little from the GPL Shift-R which put you
back on the track roughly where you went off.

so shift-r is the same as hitting escape then return to the pits.

I wonder if those options work when you are online.

?

They do, until race time... and qualifying for that matter, then disabled
just like the menu
