The outside mirrors have not visible frame, looks bit strange.
The "rallye" setup is unrealistically high? "Shitbox" setup has flat tires? That is maybe a bit too shitty to include as a default setup.
In general I think default setups should always be one driver one. (no passengers)

I would assume variants of the logo and related graphics are okay, too?
For example a full picture of the Michelin Bibendum mascot?

Where do you find the 700bhp? On wikipedia or here: https://www.supercars.net/blog/1999-lister-storm-gt2/ it says 417.6 kw / 560.0 bhp @ 6400 rpm. Or is that a different version?
560 would not be so far off from the 510 that you have now.
If the goal is to be an addition to the LFS GTR cars then I would say: Give it roughly fitting performance "out of the box". The last few percentages can be dialed in with weight ballast and intake restriction by event organisers. That is often done with LFS cars, XRG gets 1-2% restriction to race with XFG. In TBO class the FXO often gets 2%, XRT 1% and RB4 is default.
But sometimes on less strict servers the cars are run as-is because the differences are small.
If the differences are bigger then it would always require an admin or script to be present.
Also setups are usually based on non-restricted cars. It could be annoying if the car becomes popular to be mixed into GTR class and players have re-do setups etc.
The real car was used in various series, probably with different adjustments to their changing rules. It was fitted with an intake restrictor at some point, too. So it does not seem completly out of place that when entering the LFS world, it would be adjusted again.

I think that is normal message.
If you have a S1/2/3 license then it would have unlocked the game and the message would be "Welcome to S3!"
But with demo there is nothing to unlock so it only tells you that your password was correct. (in case you want to use it later on for unlock)

looked like at the end Lee ran out of battery charge and nerves

From the one included skin it seems as if left/right side share the mapping? Come on, it is not S1 anymore 
around the edges of the doors are some see-through gaps. (from inside and outside)
bug or because racecar?

after a crash I got strange looking damage. It stayed like that after shift+r but was fixed after going to garage screen.
I think yes, skin-support should be a requirement for approved mods. Skins are important part of the online experience.
However, just the existance of a template does not mean it is also functional or well mapped, for example there can be problems like this: https://www.lfs.net/forum/post/1982055#post1982055
The only way to check that, is to actually make a skin. Which is very time consuming for reviewers?
So maybe even go a step further a make it a requirement that a skin is included. Not a superfancy one, just something that shows that the mapping is correct.

A note to mod makers, many mods have the message:
Some of these mods actually do have a template.
I do not know what the mod-upload looks like, but I think that the problem is maybe that the template is uploaded as a skin rather than as template.
example: the banger car: https://www.lfs.net/files/vehmods/B6064B
(by the way, super nice template with the text that explains what the parts are! also good usage of texture space)
example of correctly added template: https://www.lfs.net/files/vehmods/B21690?skins
Thanks to all modders for their work, it is interesting to follow the updates etc.
Also, remember any user can actually write a news article that displays on the front page of lfs.net
I think if a mod has reached 100% completeness, creators should not be shy to make a news post about it. (If you need help with writing/proof reading, pm me)

I see that there is now a skin template. But the two side-views are both facing to the right?
What function excactly does the button 3h_sml_setp "set" have? For translation.
I could not drive in a straight line, the one-handed steering animation was too confusing. Had to turn hands off. The arm also blocks view on the gauges.
I agree with PeterN that 367 bhp is too much.

would prefer it with realistic engine power. windows are too dark from cockpit view. (wash me!)

In the "hillclimb" verions, most of the included skins look weird. Especially text looks bad when it gets stretched over the panels. For example look at "Raptor" skin from topdown. In generally the mod would benefit from nicer skins imo.
In the cockpit I would prefer if the roof was a bit higher or more open, so that one can see the horizon.

Here is a simple skin, if you still need one
I thought perhaps some people do not have skins made yet for the new mod cars.
So here is a simple one:
Not too great but better than a blank skin?
Simple use MS Paint to paint over the number. Or edit the attached .svg source file.
The black&white version can be used with the color-sliders in garage to create new varitions all from the same skin.

Hi
The "Robin_NL" account is a demo user. (as it says under your name)
Are you sure that it is the correct account?
I found an account "Robin_NL91" but it is demo, too.
On https://www.lfsworld.net/ you can click "LFS racers database" and search for names yourself.
There are 47 results for "Robin" and Country: Netherlands..maybe one is yours.

I was doing a "Westhill" skin but found some possible problems with the skin template:
The front "windscreen" panel shares the same graphic on outside and inside.
Anything that is painted on the outside, also appears on the inside (mirrored)
Is it possible to make the parts more "connected" on the skin template?
Just the vertical parts of the sidepods are three seperate areas. (front, side, end)
Also they are not lined up on the skin: If you want to paint a line across the sidepod then you can not simply draw one line across all surfaces.
Same with the bumpers. I am not 100% certain but it seems the areas also have different stretching?

glad you like the skins, thanks for your work on this mod
Here are two skins I made for this car. You are free to include them with the mod, if you want.
First one is based on the logo of Löve (love2d.org), I thought it could make for interesting skin.
The "Hot Stuff" skin is a basic gradient with few extras.
I left the protection bars and cage in light colors, so it is still possible to adjust their color in LFS.
The flame graphic is from wikimedia by Mimooh:

regarding this thread: https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/96674-Cant-use-mods-with-S3
Not strictly a bug but:
On a demo-server, if you click "mods" button then LFS will tell you:
"You must be in S3 mode to use mods."
The message is confusing when you have S3 unlocked. The actual problem is that the server is in demo mode. The message should be something like:
"This server does not have mods enabled."

The server you are currently online ([AA] Rallycross GTI) does not have mods enabled. I think it is in demo mode.
For example server "[AA] Porsche Cup" allows mods. Or try in singleplayer mode.
The message is a bit confusing, because it makes it seem as if the user does not have S3 but actually it is a server setting.

That sounds like a nightmare for any external tools, host settings, hotlap lists etc.
Is that really nessecary though? Some mods get flak for being merely tweak-mods of default LFS cars. So does it need the same mod in 5 different tweak versions that look the same? No matter if done by being seperate cars or setup options..

wait, that reads a bit as if you do not know that it is possible to use the LFSeditor as viewer:
copy the files in mods\vehicles from LFS into the editor's folder.
Then load the vehicle and there is a "color" tab just like ingame where you can select a skin. There is also a "reload textures" button in button right (bit hidden) that reloads the skin.
It is bit cumbersome and spams some errors about missing textures and all the extra buttons clutter the screen...but better than ingame shift+u mode.
