I wish I could help you with this. Only piece of info I have (per @limac92):
Case study:

For "XFG" insim sends [88, 70, 71, 0],

88 is ASCII "X",
70 is ASCII "F",
71 is ASCII "G".

For E-Chellenger (FA2989) insim sends bytes [137, 41, 250, 0],
but we cannot treat this values like ASCII characters because we'll get "‰)ú\0",
but,

137 is in HEX 89,
41 is in HEX 29,
250 is in HEX FA.

So I guess you would need to change each letter to its ASCII counterpart then to hex. Second part is easy-ish. No idea about first.

But I wouldn't count on mod stats from FM's airio. We have to clean every non-ascii entry in database every so often because they cause airio failing to launch after it's restarted.

I don't know if this will be any use for you but I got 5 years worth of best lap times data from Fragmaster's Airio. As you know both XFG and XRG and FOX race without handicaps. That data is just fastest laps recorded on servers so not specifically races. It can be practice, draft (even bumpdraft). Also just noting there's PB splits and TB splits separately.
And for reference there's data in human friendly format for WE1 XFG of my person:

Hi, we encountered a strange issue in todays's GTi Thursday race. Driver says he didn't see any other cars but what we all saw him driving thru other cars. Others were span or heavily damaged while the driver got no damages. Here's a little video for quick check: https://streamable.com/y1pveq and also attached replay.

Mr Salieri sends his regards.

Looks like something else works, unwanted - clutch pedal. Go to options, display (5th option on the left) and select Show pedals to yes (5th option in the centre). You should see only one bar - green line which is gas. If you see blue bar it means your clutch is engaged. Other bars - red: brake, gray: handbrake.
If that's the case make sure your axes are properly assigned in controls.

Until it's get uploaded on the drive - enjoy: https://ufile.io/eq1oqiwe

Since version 0.7A of LFS the option to set auto clutch is visible only after joining track. That may be the reason you can't find it and also reason there is a timer.

It's in the Driver tab of the options under auto gears.

For base LFS cars I recommend using already made templates available here: http://www.barkingpig.org/msz/pages/kits.php

To answer your questions:
- you don't need to make wireframe, use what somebody else made or generate it from lfs itself
- wireframe is a image which shows shape of car on flat picture, you can see things like car shape changes, door hinges, handles, etc
- get wireframe and set it as one of top layers in your graphic program, you can then use it as reference by drawing shapes over it or just positioning things
- go to your garage (shift p) and click tab named "colors", at the bottom right there is a button "generate skin template", one of them is wireframe. Another useful one is black and white skin texture. Shaded skin texture is almost the same, it just has more details you could get with wireframe used with imagination. Experiment with every one and see for yourself.

The process of uploading skin to lfs servers so other people can see it is explained here: https://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Skin_Tutorial

Next Thursday Fragmaster's GTi Thursday will celebrate its 350th event. Because of that on July 4th, there will be something special and challenging.

There will be two back to back races on the same track which is Kyoto Ring GP Long (KY3). First race will be with XFG, second one with XRG.

Schedule:
1. Qualifications for first race start as usual at 18.30 UTC. (one hotlap mode)
2. Race 8 laps.
3. Car switch.
4. 10 minute open track qualifications to set the grid for race #2.
5. Race 8 laps.

Reward: Driver who scores highest sum of points in both races will be named GTi Master on discord. JOIN IT HERE. It's required for racing.


See you on Thursday.

Hi, it's quite simple now. Go to shift p menu, select your mod and click on Colours tab, then hit Generate Skin Template and finally black and white skin texture. You can paste that into your graphics program. There are also other options you can check out - especially wireframe.
