Open Championship Statistics è una utility non ufficiale per il RaceRoom targato Sector3, che permette di estrapolare i vari risultati dalle gare online in modo da potersi organizzare in sostanza il proprio campionato o stagione personalizzati, cosa che non è possibile fare dal software. Il funzionamento, come spiegato di seguito, non è difficile e richiede semplicemente il lancio dell'utility prima delle gare. AboutThis is a small tool that parses the raceresult file from R3E and generates a tiny database and a html report for a championship based on multiple single race events. It is not supported nor in anyway endorsed by the creators of R3E. As you can see at this full sample website it generates for every race: Driver Standings Team Standings Vehicle Standings (if more than one vehicle type) Best Lap Times How it worksRun the ".exe" file, it should bring up a very simple program that you keep running while doing singleplayer races in R3E. The program tracks edits to "My Documents/My Games/SimBin... raceresults.txt" which contains the results of the last completed race (no matter what kind of race it was). Based on the content of the file a unique "championship" is created (hash based on starter-field). That means if you choose always the same starter-field config (vehilce class and number of opponents) in your single player race, it shall treat it as a single championship For every completed race, the results are appended to the championship file (a simple text file storing the results for every race) and a HTML file is generated with the current standings, see image above It is an "open" championship, as none of the settings are really frozen (AI...), you can keep going and mix tracks however you want, a pseudo championship based on your single player races. Simply delete the appropriate database lua file in the "results" directory to start fresh again. DOWNLOAD This post has been promoted to an article

Il team Sector3 ha annunciato il rilascio gratuito del nuovo circuito di Portimao (in ben 4 configurazioni diverse) per il suo RaceRoom Racing Experience. Sono inoltre in arrivo, sempre gratis, anche nuove vetture extra.

Dalle ceneri del team Simbin, nasce ufficialmente oggi, come già preannunciato da tempo, il nuovo Sector3 Studios. La nuova software house ingloba praticamente in sè quasi l'intero defunto team svedese e continuerà ad occuparsi del già noto RaceRoom Racing Experience (che sarà aggiornato a breve) e dei suoi vari "cloni" a supporto, tipo ADAC GT Masters o DTM Experience. Verrebbe quasi da pensare che si tratti esclusivamente di una manovra di tipo "contabile", la speranza è comunque che il Sector3 sappia farsi apprezzare come ha saputo fare per tanti anni il gruppo Simbin.
