I notice that a setup file is small enough to fit into an InSim packet with a header for UCID, would it be possible to send and receive them through InSim?
InSims could then send setups to players on-demand, and if players can send them too, the InSims could do things like checking wing setting limits*, and mixing track-specific gearboxes to a preferred setup.
Somebody could make an interactive setup bot, even - somebody who doesn't know how to do setups could send it their set, click a button that says 'too oversteery', and get back a copy that has had the front/rear stiffness balance tweaked a little and try it out.
I thought that using the host entry in the connection list (ie, give it the same s/ss buttons as players) would make giving your setup voluntary, so should side-step the whole setup-spying issue?
*I did a league once that required a minimum wing setting, it was a pain for all involved to verify it manually
Just to clarify, it's only PiranMOTODestructionDerby where you may crash with competitors - other PiranMOTO servers follow the Rules of Clean Racing.
The Friday night DDs are Jon's nights (I don't want to steal his credit ) and it's always 20:00 UK time, so that works out to be 19:00 UTC in the summer and 20:00 UTC in the winter.
PiranMOTO Trial of Champions #1 - the Trial of the Crossover - Review
Wow! What an event! A good showing of drivers from outside the DD world adding to several DD champions meant for absolute chaos on-track right from the off, and a battle that went down to the wire!
With thanks to Simbroadcasts for an excellent stream, and Jonathan Siddle for the awesome commentary! Watch the full Simbroadcasts stream here: https://youtu.be/UR9p62NonNw?t=294

In the season standings, there's no change in position for VM's **Dlocky** and **Flying ET** in 1st and 2nd respectively, but PM's own **Jam 616** has snuck into 3rd place ahead of **J De Cnodder** by a single point.
I was 28 after Davey Allison for years, but I got fed up with clashes. I was wearing an Iron Maiden Number of the Beast skin when I finally gave up on 28, but obviously 666 would have been even worse for clashes. I knew of a theory that 616 was the 'real' number, not 666, and I figured it was an obscure enough theory that it wouldn't lead to clashes.
A relatively low turnout worked to our advantage this week, with excellent racing and hard but good-natured fighting. Sometimes this is a little hard to see through the chaos of high-numbers and over-enthusiastic first-timers, but it is always there in the core and it was nice to see it naked
Dlocky didn't have it all his own way this week - we went down to the last race, with the entire podium all spanning less points than are available for a win! Did we stop him?...
Yet more records for VM's **Dlocky** as he becomes the most successful driver in PiranMOTO Open DD history with a record 9th event win, a record 6th in a row, with 170 points and 5 wins. Congratulations!
2nd place goes to **Flying ET**, just 7 points behind with 163 and 3 wins - edging ever-closer to the inevitable win.
3rd place goes to PM's own **Jam 616**, a single point behind with 162 and 4 wins.
A special mention for MRc's **Matteoszop** who joined with 4 races left to go... and won 3 of them in a row!

In the season standings, there's no change in position with VM's **Dlocky** leading **Flying ET** by 18 points, who in turn leads RTT's **J De Cnodder** by 9 points.
This week's event was dedicated to the memory of CK, with many tribute skins and name colours making a fine sight, and all drivers sharing a minute's horn on the green light of the first race before setting off. This one was for you, CK.
It's a new record of 5 wins in a row for VM's **Dlocky** as he wins his record-equalling 8th DD event with 8 wins and 157 points! Congratulations again!
2nd place is MRc's **TimDC** returning temporarily to honour CK, claiming 140 points and 5 wins for him.
3rd place goes to VM's **Dan190NL** with 126 points, claiming a podium on his first full event. It looks like the VM domination is set to continue!
A special mention for Ivanov, missing the podium on his first event by just 2 points.
