All done (unless anyone spots anything borked ).

All hardware work complete.

The bulk of the software changes (host OS upgrade, and move from a dedicated virtual machine to a cluster of Docker-based containers) are also complete. There may be some short outages whilst other infrastructure is updated to match.

As the configuration is completely different from the old setup, please report anything out of the ordinary.

I'll be doing some maintenance (both hardware and software) on the server which hosts the SRou and UKGPL websites over the next couple of days which will result in the site being unavailable for some of the time. The site should be fully available again by the start of Sunday.

Could people please check that the results look right, both positions and car mappings. Thanks.

Did I map all those cars correctly? I got FMG's Jag but couldn't quite make out who was in what from the posts here.

Well that's not right either, the exports contain 0 for both P and Q and 1 for R.

There's at least an offset of some sort, or the race took weeks. 4294951417 is almost 50 days in milliseconds; the number is too close to 2³² to be a simple total.

So I've had a bash at a prototype importer. There are some fairly significant holes in the JSON export format currently available, most significantly the lack of anything but cryptic coded car model information, and an impenetrable format for total race time (a very large unsigned 32-bit number). There's no track information either, though that's less critical as the system already knows what it's expecting.

Who is "Stephan Q"? I presume there's a matching forum user - I've set up a guest driver for now.

@MarkJ, I've added a distinct sim entry for ACC, so you can set events up in LM2, though as Picnic says, you obviously won't be able to import them as there's no code to do so.

Does it make sense to set it up as an AC 'mod' rather than a separate sim, specifically, are the exports identical to AC and likely to remain so (I assume the game engine is identical)?

Hmm, well those two (the DB4 and F250 SWB) along with the McLaren M1A are all really old installers, but they all worked okay when I tried them. Anyhoo, I built new installers for all three and replaced the old ones.

Please keep the language civil...

Do you want to PM me the new IP address so I can update the DNS aliases?
