So far, things look like this
This combo is absolutely highest chance so far of no one may finish the race.
Ugh... Sunday I would say for me.
As I told
EDIT: Sorry mate, really, but I am really short handed here. I do not want to touch his work due the methods, also he is being busy and I can tell I am very lucky most of the things implemented to in our server works and requires no major/critical updates.
ROUND 42 ANNOUNCED
Here we go! Combo is now locked at server and laps are doubled.
As more and more car setups are used from this list, it is time to tell about more of them.
1LX and Formula XR Junior are the only known cars which are set to have restriction of using different tires. 1LX is supposed not have at all Soft tires available and Formula XR Junior is supposed to not have R3 tires in same fashion.
GT4 cars were set to work at first, where no cars could have use any amount of downforce, but because this option is still not available to check, in case someone could cheat, the class was set to work as average from all tracks, where now XF4 is the fastest in straights and FZ4 slowest. In other hand, UF4 alongside with FZ4 are the fastest cars in corners and XF4 slowest. Other two being somewhat between of mentioned cars.
The 1-Class works best on tracks which has long straights and not so many tight corners. Aston Historic is one good example of it.
Standard class, which contains XFG, XRG and UF1, is not valid anymore in command with /cars=STD. Also, /cars=FR would not work either.
GT9 and other minor classes are not widely used anymore, and might get notification of not used anymore.
GTP class is still not tested and is not valid class.
Notice as list is updated since last year, it is often checked this thread in case plausible errors occurs, most likely on new classes.

ROUND 41 RESULTS
Qualify
Race
Round 41 did not offer this time much dramatic moments. In fact, race was somewhat boring, but we did see two DNF's ( one of them simply gave up ) and we also saw RedBot's great climbing from POS 4 to POS 2. But it was simply not enough, as winner of Round 41 was so OP that he made Grand Slam!
So, winner with grand slam is UM21, who was clearly fastest guy and saw no real threat coming from other racers.
2nd position goes to RedBot ( LFSW: redbot_ ). Great climbing after an erroneous racing line on last hairpin, which did cost several seconds. Had a good fight against Jay from Finland ( LFSW: jh89 ), till Jay made slight mistake and lost control, grinding on wall on S-turn after "Eau Rouge" corner ( which would be really "Radillion", but who cares, this is Aston after all. ) and lost fight by RedBot escaping from him. Podium finish however.
Last finisher is T.Soini ( LFSW: teppari ), who really had no real racing against anybody, but finish is finish!
Not so many highlights, but here they are!
Start Grid
And Pertsa ( LFSW: EzA ) is off at Turn 1. DNF.
After T1
The hotspot was indeed between Jay and RedBot. First latter one took bad line, which he lost there seconds, dropping to 4th position, but he was slowly but surely gaining Jay back, and ultimately overtake happens, with Jay losing control.

UM21's 3rd Grand Slam
Start Grid was interesting, 1 from India and rest were from Finland.
Fastoric was the opening layout in series ( Round 1 )
Stats and points are updated once you see this text linked.
Thank you for participating this round. Next round will be held NOT in this week's Thursday, but on next week's Tuesday. Jay got the honor to select number for random combo generator, which is 112 as selected.
I can tell you now, this combo is insane and BIG POINTS will be received ( required to finish the race of course. ), stay tuned!

Combo is now locked on the server ( server was passworded for some reason, sorry about that. Now public )
Turns out, in real life some of the tires actually loses traction ( not completely ) if very hot temperature gathered.
What I try to say is the mixture of rubber does also make in play!
EDIT: I did write like a captain obvious, but despite tire physics in LFS might be wrong, the experience from it is both wrong and right, more or less.
EDIT: Oops, I did check the dates, I did bump big one, my bad.

The car is never released due issues of tire physics we have at the moment and it has been planned to release after tire physics are ready.
But, over 9 years, tire physics are still not ready due even more issues.
ROUND 41 ANNOUNCED!

ROUND 40 RESULTS!
Qualify
Race
Unexpected...!
First time we see this one happening, when winner wins the race in winner's choice layout! Gevin ( LFSW: Sandisck ) did surprise us by taking the top from no qualification time and selected NOT the fastest car. GT4 cars were absolutely beast cars for doing laptimes, but as 16 laps was set on race, it turned out as road car was better choice! Gevin was also the only racer in field who made no critical mistakes at any point. Congratulations!
"Silver medal" goes to LLM.Sobis ( LFSW: Sobis ). He selected same car as winner, though Sobis did select FZX in first place. He knew that car might stand a chance to make good result. He was correct! Only one spun out ruined his plausible victory.
3rd place goes to Jay from finland ( LFSW: jh89 ), but was no match against the other two. Too many mistakes caused gap being way too big. Still, could have been worse!
4th place goes to fastest man in both sessions. R. Kardol (LFSW: Rik97 ) selected FZ50 GT4, which was absolutely fast car. Same reason though as Jay, no chance. But at least a finish!
So, only 4/7 did survive. Here is some highlights. ( Better check replay, lots of moments occurred! )
As usual, we start it with start grid and start itself ( now 2 laps! )
First crash at first lap. Jay hits first timer Ma'e/' ( LFSW: Mate2169 ) at grass section, no penalties received. ( So lucky Jay! )
Lap 2 @ T1
Ma'e/' ( LFSW: Mate2169 ) did look like this, unable to continue, DNF.
Rik's FZ4 was fast, but unstable due difficult but fast racing line.
Draft train!
Here is another crash. No good.
Because the incidents, 2 FZX racers and Jay was on top 3, until this happens. Jay have hitted sign @ grass section.
Then, Sobis lost control at next lap, which is also the breaking point. No one could catch Gevin anymore.
Aw man, lost connection with not many laps to go...
Yeah...this time UM21 really *** *** *** ****. *** ** *** *** ***** ***** *** ***** ******, ***** ** *** **** * ****** *** *** *** *** ***** ***** ** ***. ****** **** ** **-*******! ( You really thought browsing race results would be boring? HAH! )

TRIVIA
One new guy entered: Ma'e/' ( LFSW: Mate2169 )
Only once !flip command did occur to be used.
Laps Led:
Sobis 4
redbot_ 2 ( First time laps led )
Rik97 1 ( First time lap led )
Sandisck 9
First time winner wins at winner's choice layout. ( In other words, in previous round winner had option to select layout to this round, he won this round as well! )
6 of 7 different cars occurred, only RB4 GT was left off.
Rik97 made first time fastest lap in race.
Stats and points soon updated.
Thank you for participating this round! Next round will be set on next week's Tuesday, and will contain random combo, but there is now 70% bigger chance a layout will be selected from previous rounds. More info will be set on LFS News section as well. Only 10-12 rounds to go!

Hard to say, maybe FM FOX Friday or Rony's Tuesday Fun Race. There are also Finnish Rally Event, but the sign up is required and you need to have a facebook account to do sign up.
Then there are several smaller leagues, from easy to pretty difficult.
Then there are several smaller leagues, from easy to pretty difficult.
46 minutes to go before Q starts. 3 racers @server atm.
Wish you could have asked that question 13 years ago ( haha )
But biggest by mean of what? Amount of racers or amount of value given? Or even bigger skill level = bigger prizes?
Track and cars are now locked at server. Find out a car which suits to you at best!
ROUND 40 ANNOUNCED!
huh? in 10 years, you have done just a bit over 1000km distance in online. Lots of single player I guess?
Ask Bose321, I already told him to do some thingzzz, but nothing have happened since then. I let him to see this message, in case he gets inspiration to do so. duh duh duh...
Duppi duppi
EDIT: To the Bose: No, do not try to attempt to say I have not told this before to you, lol.
EDIT: I go quickly hide!!! --->
hahahha that start... that was amazing!
ROUND 39 RESULTS!
Qualify
Race
Moody!!!
Round 39 did offer unexpected and dramatic moments in first lap and last lap. Results are exceptional. Results are absolutely unexpected...
...THE WINNER IS.... GEVIN!!!
First time ever we see a driver who wins the race who never led any laps on Round 39 race. Sobis received 10 second penalty causing a chain reaction in lap 1, who did cross the finish line as first, but was dropped to 5th place. Ultimately the setup was planned to be for Mr. Seahorse aka Y.Laprevotte, but moments in last lap dropped him to 2nd place. That means Gevin wins Round 39 and has the power to select a layout to round 40 from rounds 31-39. However, Gevin ( LFSW: Sandisck ) receives unofficial warning about having collision with R. Kardol on first lap, but no penalties received, nothing else than pointing with forefinger towards to Gevin, reminding of the crash. However, Sobis started it.
Anyway, victory is yours! Well done! Especially when started from 7th position.
2nd place goes to Y.Laprevotte ( LFSW: GreyBull [CHA] ), who did led 40/41 laps. Basically all but last lap. He had great chance to take the top but unfortunate collision with Sobis on last corner, which happened to be a lag hit, caused Mr. Seahorse to lose control, hitting the wall.
Due penalty, 3rd position goes then to Mr. Flat Out! Started from 4th place, and finished as 4th place, but resulted as 3rd, it was regular, good performance by him.
4th place goes to Pole Position guy, R. Kardol. Collision with Gevin at first lap was disaster to him, but was eventually the best result he could do after a such. Was close to catch and overtake Willi, but not enough laps.
5th place goes then to victory guy, Sobis, who did cross the line as first and, well... rest you know. Too bad, but that's what it is. Strangely, he made unofficial "golden lap", as leading only one lap, which tends to be a last lap, but due penalty, he did not won. So it is very exceptional result. Never seen before winner have led 0 laps, and golden lap maker did not win the race.
6th place goes to T. Soini and 7th place goes to UM21, who had problems to keep car at track.
You like highlights? Of course you do! Here they are!
Start Grid and start.
So, as seen in video, things did start right after turn 1 and continued to turn 2. In pictures. Chain reaction happens when Sobis hits Gevin in awkward direction.
Situation goes like this: Yann has escaped, Gevin, Sobis and Willi doing the draft and Soini is left behind. Rik and UM21 have spun off.
Soon Gevin and Sobis starts to draft well and leaves Mr. Flat Out! behind. Time to catch leader.
Meanwhile, UM21 crashes.
Rik have catched up T.Soini and overtakes him fairly easily.
Here is the last lap in pictures and video.

TRIVIA
No one have ever won the race before with leading 0 laps.
Also, no one have ever before winning not a race with doing a golden lap, which means all you have done is leading only one and last lap, which usually happens to be a victory lead. This time, this did not happen due penalty received.
It was 2nd time, when victory is lost by penalty. Last time similarly happened was in Round 11 race, where Arska ( LFSW: Arsk4 ) crosses the finish line first, but loses the victory due 10 second penalty added in total race time.
Yann led 40 laps, Sobis one.
No one used !flip command.
Rik's first pole position, Gevin's 2nd victory.
7/7 racers did finish, which is 100%. Last time similarly happened was in rounds 34, 14, 7, 2 and 1.
Stats and points will be updated soon.
Thank you for participating this round. Next round will be next week's thursday, which is Round 40, winner's choice at around 16 UTC.
Gevin did select a layout from Round 34, which happens to be Speed and Traps. Car/cars, will be random Stay tuned!
