csv dump of LFS hotlap database
This thread got me thinking:
https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/109766-Analysis-of-WR-and-League-race-times-to-determine-performance-factors
Would it be possible to get a csv/text dump of the hotlap database?
Something like:
uploaddate;racer;track;car;split1;split2;laptime
It might make for some interesting statistics that are not on LFS-world.
(longest standing WR, which car in GTR class has the most WR's, which combo has closest Top 10 times etc)

I vaguely remember that there used to be lots of mods uploaded for that series, mostly names starting with "sst" but now I can only find a handful.
tanehau-srt has uploaded 64 mods with names starting with "GMSTOCK..."
It seems those are used now?
Almost all are custom access.

Are you trying to plot which property makes a car fast?
I am not sure what I am looking at here. Many numbers for sure.
Some random thoughts:
Races often already have some BOP applied, that makes it hard to compare.
Even if no BOP is used, the track, distance, mandatory pit stops etc might be chosen in a way to make it balanced. Typical example for TBO class might be that FXO is fastest but drivers eventually need to slow down to save tires.
Another idea:
Maybe try to figure out something about the difficulty/technicality of car/track combos by plotting a histogram of all uploaded times.
For example for XFG@Kyoto Oval I would expect that all the top times are very close to each other. On the other hand something like Fo8 at South City might have bigger gaps.
There might be a large plateau at XFG@Bl1 of newbies using default setups or other such things.
The ratio between "average speed" and "theoretical car top speed" (aka how much of a lap is at full throttle or high speed) could be interesting, too.
We know that Kyoto Oval is the fastest track, but which track is second fastest and which is the slowest?
(Also for different cars)
Mildly related:
Do you know of a way to get all WR times and their upload date?
It might be interesting to see how WR times have improved over time, how big the improvements were, which WR was standing longest until it got beaten etc.

I looked at some random profiles and none had any forum postings.
If there had been such an attack then it should have hit more active forum users, simply because they visit the forum more often.
Of course it is possible that those accounts were just very active readers but I doubt it.
Most likely people used pirated servers or some software/website and gave away their passwords willingly. (but perhaps unknowingly)
That has happend before:

Was there any other message?
Did you previously use any cracks? If yes, uninstall those versions.

The manual is normal mediawiki (same software as used by Wikipedia)
It seems there are some existing solutions to improve mobile usage:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Mobiles,_tablets_and_responsive_design
I have no clue about web development but at quick glance it seems as if someone with the knowledge might be able to set it up.
The forum actually works okay for me on mobile.
Half the time I post using a Unihertz Atom phone with Chrome Browser.
It has a tiny 2,4" screen.
It requires some zooming and scrolling but I have seen worse.
There are some other forums that I only use on PC because they work even worse via phone.

He could try changing network mode (in name list click the TCP or UDP button)
It might be interesting to know if he was using WLAN, tethering by phone or other unreliable wireless connections.

The other person can buy an unlock voucher code and give it to you.
Then you enter the code in your account.
Then you enter the code in your account.
Do you mean actual gift cards or an LFS voucher code?
LFS codes you can enter at your account status page:
https://www.lfs.net/account/status
Scroll to "Redeem an LFS gift voucher"
For actual gift cards you can use paysafecards.
It is the only gift card that works for LFS.
You select paysafecard as payment option in the LFS shop and enter the 16 digits code from the card.

It seems you are already beginning the timed lap with less speed. Maybe see if you can take a different line approaching the s/f line.
When I try to download something it takes me to a store page where I have to enter personal details and choose payment options?
The origins of the 3D parts should probably be mentioned somewhere.

commons.wikipedia.org is also a good source.
You might need to search around a bit but there are some good lists.
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Logos_associated_with_the_automotive_industry?uselang=de
Or just search for "logo" etc, usually in good png or svg format.

I suggest to avoid that sketchfab account.
He writes in profile: "I use free models and radically redesign them."
Just because a model is free to download does not mean it is legal. I doubt he care about that difference because nobody on sketchfab it seems widely ignored.
Also here https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/mersedes-benz-s-class-w221-6b1c0ad55406406a8cf8177dc0a4f2b9 he writes in comments:

For me that is enough information to think that he does the typical remixing and re-uploaded of ripped content. Maybe not directly ripped by him but uploaded by others, but the result is the same.
He is mixing so much downloaded content, but why does he never credit the page/user where he downloaded from?
I learnt that this does not mean anything.
If this Black Snow guy is supposed to be legit, then "not finding" what games he ripped from is not enough. Because finding the original sources is super time consuming and borderline impossible.
There are simply too many games and too many ways to alter/obscure the topology.
The way I see it, the models of Need for Speed 3 are maybe the oldest models that could be used (as a base) for an LFS mod. NFS 3 came out in 1998.
Who is going to check the hundreds of games that released in 2 decades? Not just PC games but also all the consoles.
Plus all the commercial 3D modeling companies.

You can change the Numberplate in
Options -> Driver
Options -> Driver
The error is "createEffect", he missed one "e" when copying from the screenshot.
From forum search it seems related to driver issues and Windows updates breaking something.
I would try to uninstall the Logitech software and install it again.
Compared to original release, this mod now has a different body, different seats, different rims,. it could as well be a different mod.
Credits / list of third party creators is basically useless.
Just names of discord servers.
Not even a username, link or which parts were made uploaded by whom.

As user, I think you have already found a good solution.
Your description texts are quite detailed, there are links to technical manuals and other sources.
If something could not be replicated in LFS then you explained how you approximated it. Some other modders also do that and/or have good development threads.
When I see such texts then they make me believe that the modder tries to create realistic physics.
It actually seems more useful and trustworthy than just ratings options or categories.

That is actually a good suggestion and quite obvious one in hindsight.
As minimum there could be a button: "Open online hotlap charts" to open the website in browser. Currently it is not obvious at all that an online leaderboard for hotlaps even exists.
I am not sure if makes sense to re-create all the functions and details of LFSworld ingame.
( In the same fashion: On the setup screen there could be a button to go to https://www.lfs.net/files/setups )
Not 100% sure but I think the user who created the server can leave and server stays on.
The server closes when it has been empty for a while.
The 3D model link on cgtrader.com does not work anymore.
Does "10studio" actually mean "Turn 10 Studios"?
That is the developer of the Forza series.

Is this related to https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/107935-WARNING%3A-BRCruise---City-Driving ?
I googled and find a user "razukvictor335" posting about Insim on brazilian crack forum.

Also, please pay BRL 44.90 (ca 8€ or 8$) for 30 days of basic subscription to play pre-mod LFS on our cracked brazilian server.
What a deal.
