Handling of car positions in multiplayer is much harder then handling them locally, currently you'd need to guesstimate contact by comparing distance, heading, etc, there is no packet for "contact". Even with a very good formula, the maximum settings of 6 pps as i understand it means the remote cars are in their correct positions during only 6% of physics updates, meaning there are 94 updates where positions are interpolated more or less accurately. Add lag issues and it's not a very tempting project.
A modular / plugin-driven "general purpose" insim daemon written in reasonably object-oriented php 5. 
Features include a content distribution/update system, a sloppy GTK config editor and hopefully a good set of plugins and documentation.

It actually often makes rendering quite a bit faster because there's no need to constantly uncompress the source you're working with.
Keep it uncompressed until you've finished editing it, render to uncompressed from premiere, compress the final result with VirtualDub.
Great stream / broadcast, +1 for a bit more focus on the race itself, but great nonetheless.
I don't really know what's wrong, but running str_replace on $new_data before $new_data has any contents seems odd.
Perhaps try a simpler function, also removes the need for hardcoding template replacements.

<?php
php
function template($template_source, $table) {
$output = "";
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $table");
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) {
$tran = array();
foreach ($row as $var => $value) {
$tran["{{$var}}"] = $value;
}
$output .= strtr($template_source, $tran);
}
return $output;
}
echo template($template_source, "news");
?>
No, if you're trying to make colored stuff in-game, use the color selector instead of the codes (hold CTRL in chat box).

Show the pointer while the "chat log" is open, increase local buffer size and let mousewheel scroll the buffer, use select-to-copy or select-and-click-to-copy instead of ctrl-c.

Rename or delete cfg.txt and run LFS, a new cfg.txt will be created with defaults.
Are you also seeing errors/messages in LFS saying 'Admin password doesn't match' ?
There will be a link available pointing to a winamp playlist containing the stream, you could also paste the stream address into Winamp's "Open URL" box (CTRL-L).
I see Ardbug (santinodeltoro) join the spectators, and Santino Del Toro (santinodeltoro) leave the pits.
So if the LFS devs added a few lines of code to shake your wheel a bit even though there are no bumps, LFS would be a better simulator. It doesn't really make sense.
A similar improvement would be added brake fade based on amount of time you've been driving, no relation to brake use.
You do realize that most of the bumps you feel in rFactor are probably effects, ie. they don't actually exist on the track surface and probably have no effect at all on the car?
So you're basically saying rFactor sort of simulates the situation for a racing driver, whereas LFS simulates the actual car. Personally i don't need the situation simulated so i probably discard alot of that input, and without the proper maths, whats left of the simulation isn't good enough.
I think your backup server idea would become extremely complicated in practice, and would still completely fail on a server-server disconnection. The examples you listed (DNS, Db) work good as they basically do not rely on eachother at all, with no need for controlling what information has/might have already been sent to client(s), and no need for constant synchronization.
The master server only serves a list of games, when you join a server the only connection is between you and that server, the master is no longer involved. A local master server would only result in a very slight speedup for refreshing the server list.

Needs more info. Type of internet connection / local network setup would be a good start.

Offering these 'interfaces' immediately means users will expect support, without support and an intention of trying to keep things compatible between versions it doesn't make sense to encourage the community to add content. There are currently a few threads about improvements / new packets for insim, if more people used/worked with outsim/outgauge, they would probably also see requests.
Thus it doesn't magically let the devs simply shift some of the work onto the community.
