I have a question on races' configuration file editing.

Hello everyone.

As I say in the topic, I have a question on races' configuration file 
editing. I've searched everywhere for an answer, to no avail. Google was 
not my friend this time, and neither was this list's search feature.

The thing is: I like running TORCS on quite low skill levels. Just to 
put the pedal to the metal and fly around the tracks. However that tends 
to become pretty unchallenging once one gets to know the track 
relatively well, so I came up with a custom race type composed of a 
complex set of nested subraces, all rather short. As I envisioned it it 
would be composed of:

1. A qualification stage;
2. A preliminary race, with a lot of cars;
3. A main race, with the top half of the cars;
4. A final race, again with the top half of the cars.

And I made it and it works fine. However, once I get to know the tracks, 
I tend to win the preliminary race, and then I'm just the first one in 
the starting grid and the competition is over unless I just let everyone 
pass. So I went looking for a way to grab the top half of the cars, but 
reverse their order in the starting grid so that if I win the 
preliminary race I'm the last one on the main race's grid. This, I 
couldn't find.

I know the "attstr name="starting order" config parameter can have the 
values "last race" or "drivers list" but couldn't find any other. I even 
got to the point of noseing about in the source code (I'm no coder), and 
did see a section that apparently makes reversed starting grids, but 
couldn't find the actual value to use in the configuration. And I don't 
really know if it does what I want or not.

So I'm asking you now: is what I want possible? And/or is there a list 
of those xml parameters hidden somewhere, with possible values?

Thanks in advance.
Jorge
