Racing Game, needs some help!

Hi, I've recently purchased torque, after reading about it on the website, and messing around with the free demo. I realised it would be perfect for a project I'm working on for my final year of University. Basically it's a racing game set in the city that I live in. All I really want to get working at the moment is 1 level, maybe 2. I importing models from 3ds max for the building and build the track around that using the terrain editor.
What i need help on is the more complicated stuff, and please don't laugh. I'm very new at this and I'm not the greatest at programming.
At the moment i just want to play with the buggy that you get in the stand starter racing kit, you know changing the maximum speeds, basic stuff like that. there's a few other things i wanna do aswell but for the moment probably best to start of with the basics. Any help at all would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Brilliant!!! Thanks Kenneth, that was a great help, exactly what i was looking for. My next problem will probably be getting another buggy to follow a path around the track, but thats further down the line, first i'm going to make this one handle a bit more like a road car instead of a buggy, thanks again. :)

The variables you will want to play with start at this section of code....

datablock WheeledVehicleTire(DefaultCarTire)

// Tires act as springs and generate lateral and longitudinal
// forces to move the vehicle. These distortion/spring forces
// are what convert wheel angular velocity into forces that
// act on the rigid body.
