    I finally decided to start trying to learn something about Motec.
    Looking online at the Youtube videos and websites I just got confused but I found a beginners guide called GTR2 MoTeC i2 Pro Beginners Guide that seems easier to understand.
    I decided to start with a section called Brake Check which should help to see when the wheels lockup on braking.
    Then I ran into my first problem, using Lazza's fine DAMplugin I notice I do not find Wheel Speed in the Motec Channels.
    Can someone help point me in the right direction how to add Wheel Speed ?
    There were templates provided in the release of the GTR2 MoTeC i2 Pro Beginners Guide but I can no longer find this online.

    No luck, I added Vehicle_1 = 2 in DAMPlugin.ini , ran a few laps, opened the Motec file in Motec but I do not know do not know how to add a math expression (cannot find it on Google either) and where to do this.
    As I mentioned in the title, Beginner, but thanks for the answer anyway ;)

    Great, thanks Wergilius, succeeded in making the Front Slip, Rear Slip, Wheel Rot Speed (all four) now !
    Now to figure out how to read it and what it means but I have finally made a start with your patient help ! ;)
    (on checking my Melbourne setup with this, I expected to find the Eureka moment of bad brake bias but it seems my brake bias settings are fine ! :D)
    Oh well, back to the book to look for the next part ;).
