Because none of them distribute any mods through their servers - that's what LFS does with cars and if/when track mods ever are available,then I expect that happen also with tracks. And the one who's distributing content is also viable in any legal disputes.

The only road legal car from LFS original cars made it's return to RTFR after 45 races. The car has it's reputation of being either loved or hated,mostly nothing in between and the bumpy South City surely provided some extra points towards hate part. Still - it's a good challenge and 28 drivers were able to set a laptime during qualifying,at least trying the challenge,however 4 left before start of the race,leaving 24 drivers on grid. Between all of them was not the already crowned champion M - with 47 points advantage over closest rival it was not needed to make effort for championship anymore.
Gábor in this race started 2 winning streaks - he was previous winner in both overall last race and also last race with this car. He was unchallenged through whole evening and besides setting new world record in this combo earlier in the evening,gathered up all the achievements from this race by leading all 27 laps (with this exceeding 700 laps led mark) and finishing with 13 seconds gap. It was the hungarian's 34th RTFR race win (just 2 less than all time leading number set by Botsi),28th pole position,30th fastest lap of the race (all time most) and 61st top5 finish. Rest of the podium was taken by winner's teammates - R.Kardol was the better one finishing 2nd and scoring his 94th top5 finish,Unite was the better one in qualifying,but was demoted to 3rd place in results - 81st top5 finish for the finn. The 2nd finn in top5 with race running finnish made car was P.Koivunen in 4th place - that is his 7th top5 finish,2 positions better than his best result in this season,top5 was closed by driver with 3 numbers in his name,who scored his 2nd top5 finish 4 weeks after his 1st.
VOD at Youtube:
With this the 1st scored season of RTFR is over and next race in 2 weeks will be an off-season race,therefor there is no information about combo besides the usual rhythm of having a slick tyre using car after road tyre car. Next week the server will be randomized in terms of car selection - round 6 of RandomCar 2024 Series will take place in Kyoto's Sprint 8-track,however july's RTFR XL edition will bring us back to South City,where FZR will be raced in Town Course reversed.

As much as I apreciate the effort of improvements,the timing of simply turning off hosts without warning was really bad...
Between 2024 series rounds 5 and 6 there are only 2 updates regarding cars,however another recently approved car is currently in approval voting in our discord server and currently it looks like it will make the race to get added in the series.
If cars with downforce needs to be accepted in series by community,cars without it can make into lineup by default of they get approved - the most recent addition to RandomCar is a relativelly small coupe 2020 HIRO CCF2 which is however a modern car and by no means a lightweight. Being 75kg heavier than the well known XRT,it features a 2.5 liter 6-cylinder engine with close to series average power. 4% intake restriction is required to balance it with other cars.
The lightest and least powerful car STELLAR K61 has been updated recently and due changes it was required to adjust balancing - instead of 80kg ballast it will now carry just 50kg.

Formula XR with promotion from Fragmasters has turned into pretty much an LFS classic car,so after 3 years break the classic returned to RTFR XL. The selected track was relativelly simple as majority was run with throttle all the way down and upshifting,however these few sections without that were the ones deciding who's best and who's just rest. With 28 drivers qualifying and 27 starting the race,this surely was not a record breaking attendance,but still the most attended RTFR XL race between last 4. But there was some noticable driver who was not attending - the driver with active 4 race winning streak did not even attempt to stretch the series to new RTFR XL record.
One of the local LFS single seater junkies Gábor was on top of the results sheets this week - being fastest in both sessions he secured all the possible achievements for himself even if the results were everything else than dominating. Both pole position and fastest lap of the race were his 10th,with this tying for 2nd most in both charts,while the racewin was his 9th - still 3rd most,additionally the hungarian scored his 19th top5 finish and exceeded 300 laps led in RTFR XL. TJ was absent from RTFR XL for over 2 years,but returned with his best ever finish - 2nd place,which is an improvement by 2 positions and 3rd top5 finish out of 3 race finishes (5th race start however),the 2nd place finish is also repeated best result for all brazilian drivers here. The winner of this year's 1st race Zesty finished 3rd with a single position gain during the race - that's 4th top5 finish for the malaysian,R.Kardol finished 4th to extend his top5 streak to 5 and total top5 count was rounded up to 50. To complete S1dus dominance in the race,Unite finished 5th to make 4 of the same team in the top5 - 26th top5 finish for the finn.
* FUN FACT OF THE MONTH :
Average race leaders count in RTFR XL has been stabilized to 2 in the past 29 races as all races had 1, 2 or 3 different leaders,for the 1st time since 60th RTFR XL (MRT @ Rockingham Oval had 6 race leaders) a race had more than 3 leaders as this tuesday there were 4 drivers finishing a lap as a leader,2 of those however just once.
* CLOCK PITTER OF THE RACE :
With ~120% of fuel tank needed to complete the race distance,there were no pure clock pitters this race,however many just refuelled the car and waited to 10 seconds for remaining time. The fastest legal pitstop was done by M@CI3K who also changed tyres in his 10.05 seconds pitstop.
* FIELD RUSHER OF THE RACE :
Despite losing a total of 5 positions due penalty,M.Kapal still is the biggest gainer between start and finish - a plus of 10 positions is still 1 more than best of the rest.
VOD at Youtube:
Gábor is quick also with decisions and the next combo will be return of the most used car in RTFR XL - FZR will have it's 8th race in the series (2nd most used are UF1,XFG and LX4 with 6 races each) and 4th in South City,luckily for change it will be also 4th different configuration of South City - Town Course in reversed direction (run last in 38th RTFR XL with other GTR car). A 64 laps race will await racers in 4 weeks. Next week normal RTFR will return with one of the LFS own street legal cars - which and where can be found out if watching broadcast of previous race,full info as always will be posted on sunday. In 2 weeks time RandomCar will start up it's randomizer and draw all the entrants cars for a race in Kyoto's Sprint 8-track.

Race Green Westhill Tourist Trophy 2024 - information and discussions
Race Green Events will keep the relativelly new tradition alive - few weeks after the demanding car race on roads of Westhill also a bike competition will be held. Even if the attendance and especially the effort of riders last year was rather dissapointing (only 4 finished the distance,few others attempted),we're gonna try once again. Especially because the bike control has been updated since then and now - handling of the 2 wheel vehicles have been made somewhat more user friendly.
Format and track of this competition has not been changed compared to last year - still the same Westschleifenring,the simplified version of the annual car endurance race venue and still 2 laps ride around it to have a distance of 21.83 kilometers,which last year was completed in 9 and a half minutes. The organization has selected 26 bikes from various ages and bike types,removing full spec racing machines from selection and sorting out low quality or unrealistic performance mods. Again - despite the performance differences between these machines,all what will matter will be the skill of a rider - slower machine will be earlier in finish without falls than faster one which spends a lot of time getting up from falls.
To help out riders to finish their runs,we will offer once again insim help - an application that will put your fallen bike back to wheels without repairing damage and if needed - also turn the bike 90°. This is to ensure realistic possibility of real bike riding - poeple can back on bike after simple falls and continue the run despite some bruises. Still it is highly suggested to everyone willing to participate to join the event server before actual event and have some practice,set up the bike[s] and get to know the track!
Timetable:
Sunday,16th June
16:30 UTC / 18:30 CET - start of 3 hours open track time trial mode
19:30 UTC / 21:30 CET - end of session,no new runs can be started,all riders on track can still finish their runs
* the shown CET time is current (summer) time - if not residing in CET time zone,always refer to UTC for correct time zone convertion!
Guidelines during the event:
* Server will be password protected and password will be posted in this thread. No signups required.
* Riders will be allowed to start their runs with approx. 30 seconds gap.
* At the start of the session all riders will be called out in connections order,after the order has been complete,riders have to request a run by clicking on host's name (Race Green Events) in connections list and type "requesting a run". Riders will be queued in requests order and administration will allow them to join track,riders will have approx. 10 seconds time to join. Run request will be ignored if rider is still on track.
* There is no limit how many runs a rider can take,however it can be limited by amount of other participants and their run requests.
* In case of a fall,riders can put up the bike on wheels with command ";flip" (semicole+flip),there will be 2 seconds delay between command has been typed and executed. An additional command ";turn" (semicole+turn) will turn the bike 90° to the left direction. Note that commands are available only when the bike is stationary!
* There are no restrictions in bike or it's setup usage,however slick tyres are strongly suggested. In final results rider will be scored with best time of the session and the bike the time was set with.
* It is expected riders are familiar with the track and the bike they have selected,make sure you have at least some practice before the event.
* As per standard LFS rules,touching movable objects will add 2 seconds penalty,false start - 30 seconds penalty. These penalties will have affect the result of the run.
Rules:
* In case a faster rider has cought a slower one,the slower rider has to act similary as under blue flag - rider may not block an overtaking attempt,while faster rider has to pass in safe manner.
* It is forbidden to change name during event - participants should select their name (the one you usually use and wish to be identified with) before start of the event.
* Absolutelly no stopping on track - if for some reason a rider cannot continue his run,spectate and request a new run when it's possible again.
Other info:
*Event server - server is online,is set in practice mode with pratice layout (no time trial start) and has an Airio for laptime tracking (due hexadecimal code,most mods laptimes cannot be shown on simple !top table). Airio can spectate connections with very high and unstable ping for safety reasons (stable connections even from Australia should not be affected). Server will be open for public use until event day. For private practice feel free to use the attached layout. Server link (click2join): Race Green Events

RTFR has been known for usung high variety of cars,from very slow to very powerful. This tuesday it was the case of high tier racing machine from very early 90ies,when 12-cylinder engines were in trend in the highest racing class. Proof of difficulty level was struggles for some drivers who are winning many races latelly in either RGE leagues or other organized ones - current RTFR standings leader was almost lapped twice. Despite difficulty level,the atrition rate was very low - from 22 starters there were only 3 DNFs,2 of those due technical issues - the trend is usually other way round.
Gábor's winning rate has gone down recently,however yesterday he was again on top of the game - he was fastest in qualifying by almost a second,scoring his 4th pole position in this scored season and 27th overall,but after start found himself in chaser's position for 5 laps,then the road to victory lane was free of competition - the hungarian led the remaining 19 laps to score his 33rd RTFR race win (2 weeks too late for numberology fans),setting record breaking 29th fastest lap of the race,which is now sole highest in RTFR history. Additionally Gábor rounded his top5 count up to 60,while this was the 40th race he led - also now all time highest,breaking a tie with Botsi. Unite finished the race in runner up position already 27 seconds apart leader with a progress of 4 positions between green and chequered - that's his best finish of this season and 80th top5 finish in total. Sean repeated his previous best finishing position by finishing 3rd after hard battle - 4th top5 finish into his account. His rival was TJ,who worked hard,but never found way pass for podium finish,so he had to settle for 4th position,which is is 8th top5 finish. Top5 was closed by Thehemuli,who scored his 2nd top5 finish in row and 10th overall.

RandomCar's 3rd stop in Fern Bay turned out to be an all midengined car race - top3 in qualifying and top4 in race were running car with this layout. A total of 17 different cars were used in this round,most popular in draw was XRT with 4 draws,however since half of them did not attend,in race the most popular was Acosta Starlin with 3 cars running. With 25 drivers attending this was the least attended round of the season,however with all 25 standing on grid this was not the smallest grid this year.
After missing round 4,J.Holmes returned to RandomCar action with the Acosta Starlin,which hasn't been used much through league's history,but he proved car's competivity in Fern Bay by setting fastest laps in both sessions and leading all 11 laps on the way to his 3rd RC race win,bringing the small italian based sports car to victory lane for the 1st time. For the 2nd time in row the runner up in race was R.Kardol,who run the defending manufacturers champion car URC1. Since the car has been changed between seasons,it's superiority is very limited now as the defending drivers champion had to work hard to keep up with the race leader to bring home 3rd podium finish in 3 tries. 3rd with over half minute gap was 136,who was running the agile XF Turbo 5,bringing it to podium from 5th position on the grid.
Top2 drivers in standings have not changed after round 5,however the points gap has reduced to 10 points between them - after half of the season M is leading over J.Holmes,followed by 136 in 3rd,who is already 31 points behind.
Same situation is in teams championship where top2 also kept status quo - B2R leads over defending champions RGA,however the points gap here is continuously increasing,now reaching 37 points. 3rd is now Team S1dus which jumped up from 5th position,however their gap to lead exceeds the count of their scored points - 98. Once again Lithuania scored most points in nations championship,growing it's advantage over defending champions Finland to 61 points,UK is increasing the gap over rest in race for 3rd position,but already 84 points apart leader. Top2 cars were not used in this round,therefor they keep their positions unchanged,however 3rd is now already withdrawn Coquette Z5. After next round 1st car can qualify for actual standings lead if XM-5 is used and scores it's 6th result which is minimum to be eligible for championship.
Talot is still the most drawn car in RandomCar with already 39 draws over 15 rounds,BZ30 and Imprezzive B2 still are following with 36 each - no real changes here. J.Holmes 1st position in both sessions were best achievements with Acosta Starlin,previous best were achieved by his closest follower in this race and were 6th in qualifying and 3rd place in race. Standings leader's run with the relativelly new Freud Serra was also the best achievement - 4th in qualifying and 6th in race are significantly better than Motimoukari's 25th/20th accordingly achieved in previous round. Yasin was the only one to run one of the new cars - he got the Poscher Caynam and scored the initial best results for it with 14th position in qualifying and 13th in race.
Again the track for next round has not been decided yet - the race winner selected already twice this season,reaching the limit,so the selection has been relayed to 2nd place finisher,who has the options between Autocross and Kyoto - noone has ever selected first of those,so traditionally we may expect visit in Kyoto in 4 weeks.
There is even simpler solution - no import options of any 3D objects. Everything has to be made in the track editor,only textures can be imported. Of course these might start problems too...
Feel free to search more posts regarding this matter,but there is currently nothing that points about intentions to release the track editor in near future.
As much as I would like more quality tracks for racing (have ideas of my own I would try to attempt),releasing full track editor would surely open another can of worms while devs together with volunteer mod reviewers are dealing with the worms crawling out of other can (known as car mods) - legal issues,quality issues,decisions what can be published,what not...
Clearly said I'm not against user created tracks,but I'm worried about problems that could come with those...

Reason : Added car names to drivers
There is no fix - it's how the mod creators have set it up. In the shown case it shows what you have set in your numberplate - it's meant to use a 1 or 2-digit number.
Turning off monitor might be most effective solution...
