I have error similiar to what Troy wrote a few posts above. In spoiler because long text:
Was this qualy replay:
http://abnl.racemore.de/mpres/league/S3/2/R03/q/
Beside that error at top of page, stats seem okay.
race replay is normal: http://abnl.racemore.de/mpres/league/S3/2/R03/r/
Maybe something went wrong during qualy, because after the time was up I could not see the results-table in LFS. Think others had same problem.
Also when race was started, grid was in randomized order and had to be set manually.
Maybe that is a hint..

looks nice. will there be similiar one-off events? (now that some leagues are in summerbreak)

Test if other 3D games/software work normally.
Run some temperature-monitoring software while playing. (for ex openhardware monitor, no idea what tools work good with win 10)

Just noticed this:
Would be cool to have 360° roll for the free shift-U camera too. Currently it locked to +-90°
Having upside-down camera that then flips around would be good effect in movies. Hard to explain but on TV it gets used sometimes when showing the startgrid of a race.

Between 0.6K and 0.6P were some updates that I would guess make them not compatible. (like new autocross objects)
I think different letters in the version-name mean the versions are not compatible.
No idea on the DK1 question, maybe just try it out. Worst case is that you might to keep two installs.
(one for normal online play, one for local network)

He means the notice that you get when you try to select a car that can not be used on the server.
There are two reasons why car can not be selected:
a) The host has locked this car.
Message text is something like: "This host does not allow you to drive car XY."
b) Trying to select non-demo car on demo server.
Message text is: "To drive car XY you need to be in S1/S2 mode."
Basically those are the two reasons why a car can be unselectable (greyed out in garage)
The first server you joined was a demo server. The other server was S2 or S3 server.

White page on lfsmanual when submitting/previewing edits
I uploaded some trackmap images and wanted to put them on http://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Tracks:Rockingham
But when I edit the placeholder filenames, for example:
|Trackmap=[[Image:RO1.jpg|300px|none]]
to
|Trackmap=[[Image:RO1-Pits.png|300px|none]]
then the preview button returns a blank/white page. Submit-button also returns a white page and edits are not saved.
Otherwise editing seems to work, for example other pages or editing the text.

The problem is that S2 is not only cars, but tracks too.
When race is with an S2 car OR S2 track then players need S2 license.
Got me a bit curious, so I had a look at the car/track combinations that I played in last weeks.
I looked what would have been minium license required for the recent past races. Result:
s3,s2,s2,s2,s1,s3,s2,s2,s3,s2,s2,s2,s3,s1,s3,s1,s3,s2,s2,s3,s2,s3,s2,s1,s1,s3,s2,s2,s2
(When I raced same car/track combination over several days I only wrote it down once)
From 29 car/track combinations the count was:
s1 = 5 times
s2 = 15 times
s3 = 9 times
Not super exact and will be differ between players, but maybe as rough estimate.
Twice cost but could join tripple the races, imo better per-money value.
The thing cars/tracks combinations get picked without regard whether the mix requires s1 or s2 because it is assumed most users have at least s2.

Probally caused by lag and not sure anything can be done about that.
When programs send data over network they use 'sockets' to do so. There are two kind of sockets:
a) blocking - the program pauses/hangs until the operation is completed. For example when wanting to recieve data, the program will not continue with its other tasks until data has been recieved.
b) nonblocking - the program does not pause while doing the socket thing. Instead data is put into a buffer and when the program wants to recieve data, it takes data from the buffer. But what if buffer is empty, for example because connection was lagging? Then the socket would have to wait ("block") again, and informs about that with message: "would block." The program can then retry later, when connection is hopefully better.

On sunday midday is a race of similiar format and in evening two other things.
#33 Spontan-Team - FZR
Team Manager: Gutholz
Driver 1: T Pachali [Gutholz]
Driver 2: Rony Kronpuðs [eclipsed]
Driver 3: you?
(not 100% safe/final but I guess idea is better to sign up too soon than too late, or something)

I noticed that demo accounts can not attach files to forum?
That is bit unfortunate because demo users often have beginner questions where uploading files would be useful.
For example some problem with settings (screenshot) or with driving (replay)
I think demo users should be able to upload files, at least replays and screenshots.
Or the upload-function should have a note "only licensed users can post attachments", to avoid confusion.

Not sure about the G29, but G25 and G27 detect the wheel rotation with a small optical encoder wheel. (sensor counts the slits to detect rotation) That part is bit fragile plastic and appearently tends to break.
Then the sensor gets confused by the cracks or the encoderwheel falls completly. (=random sensor signals)
There are some threads about in forum, here someone fixed it with glue:
https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/78893-G27-Broken-Wheel-Position-Sensor
or replacement part: http://www.cmlaserservice.com/page_g25_g27_optical_encoder_wheel.html

having the testraces on different days would be good because people have free time on different days.
for example i did one testrace but often saturday is not best time for me...

Nice 
Can you put it on AB servers? With some !command to display it like the top list.
Maybe !laptimes ?

Maybe !laptimes ?
And maybe idea for laptimes list, because real drawing graphics is not possible with insim buttons:
An arrow that points up or down depending if the lap was faster than the previous one.
v = faster than previous lap
^ = slower than previous lap
lap 1 | 1:20 -
lap 2 | 1:18 v
lap 3 | 1:19 ^
lap 4 | 1:17 v
lap 5 | 1:15 v
lap 6 | 1:24 ^
lap 7 | 1:23 v
lap 8 | 1:15 v
Press "2" to save a replay upload it.
What kind of controller do you use?

Suggestion:
A way to display all laptimes of a session.
There already exists a !top list to show best lap time. Sometimes it would be nice to know your times over several laps.
Similiar to the stats on lfsworld saves for races:
Or like the graph mpRes produces: http://abnl.racemore.de/mpres/league/BL100/1/R01/r/graphs/player_11.html
(But text-only list would work too.)
But lfsworld only records laptimes of full, completed race and uploading every practice-replay to an mpRes installation is not so feasible.
So one could join a server, do practice laps for 1-2 hours and then get a list of all laptimes done in that session.
