GP2 and a motion pod

I am trying to connect a motion pod to GP2. For this to work I need to know the car's position and orientation in each frame. My idea: When running in 2 player mode via a serial cable, each machine must be sending the other machine the data which I need. If I intercept this data, I can use it to drive the motion pos. If anyone knows the protocol which GP2 uses to transmit this data down the serial link I would love to know! Is there any other way I can get this data out of GP2? Cheers, Chris Setchell.

There is a GP2link program that allows multiplayer over IPX. You could just capture the IPX packets with another PC running snooping software. I don't know how to interpret the details of the packet however, in terms of car positioning and such. Jason.
