What is the most common body to run in GT-1? I usually run the LTC 2.0 and I am going to be trying the Bitty JP8 for non TCS races. Is there something comparable to these bodies that Tamiya makes?

For the TCS final, which motor wind are we running in GT2, a 17.5 or 21.5? I see both listed as possibilities in the rules.

Tamiya has plenty of bodies to choose from and I myself like the Raikiri body light weight. 
None of the Tamiya bodies will feel exactly the same as the protoform bodies, but try using the option wings will get you close to how it feels in comparison to the Protoform bodies. 
Just my 2$

At the finals:
Is euro truck a handout motor, or bring your own torque tuned?
Mini is handout motor this year, correct?
Is there a central place I can look for info besides the rules? I feel bad asking basic questions here.
