[REL] rFactor2 Log Analyzer ver. 2. With offline and league Championship Manager

Hi everyone, first of all let me thank you for creating such a useful tool!

I am currently having a bit of an issue trying to get xml files to run via ajax, I am trying to display R2LA data on our website and I want to get richer results when going through historical round information, I am aware of this code;
Code: 
$.ajax({
   url: 'http://your-r2la-address:port/report/get_report_jsonp',
   type: 'GET',
   dataType: 'jsonp',
   crossDomain: true,
   data: {'file_name': '2020_06_27_08_16_10-54R1.xml'},
   success: function (data, textStatus, xhr) {
       console.log(data);
   },
   error: function (xhr, textStatus, errorThrown) {
       console.log(errorThrown);
   }
});
But I can't get this to work at all, so much so that I've tried it on someone else's R2LA site and I get exactly the same error. Am I doing something wrong?

PS: After a bit of digging through the error folder, this is what everyone's favourite LLM came up with:

What’s going wrong
Your report/get_report_jsonp action is building a Python dict that contains at least one gluon.html.DIV (a Web2py HTML object). Then it calls json.dumps(...) without a default=... converter. Python’s JSON encoder doesn’t know how to serialize a DIV, so you get:

TypeError: Object of type DIV is not JSON serializable

You can see in your trace it’s literally failing inside controllers.report.get_report_jsonp.py at the json.dumps(...) call, and Web2py even tries to render report/get_report_jsonp.html (an HTML view), which suggests the action falls back to a view path that injects a DIV into the dict it’s trying to dump.

Minimal, safe patch in the existing action
Edit applications/r2la/controllers/report.py (the source; Web2py will recompile), inside def get_report_jsonp() where you do the json.dumps. Change it to sanitize non-JSON objects:
Code: 
import json

def _safe_default(o):
    # Convert Web2py HTML helpers (DIV, SPAN, etc.) to strings
    try:
        return o.xml()  # most web2py html objects have .xml()
    except Exception:
        return str(o)

# ... inside get_report_jsonp():
callback = request.vars.get('callback') or 'callback'
# whatever you currently build as `data`:
# data = {...}
payload = json.dumps(data, ensure_ascii=False, default=_safe_default)
return f'{callback}({payload});'

Yes, I did not notice I broke get_report_jsonp when I added new rendering method to position badges.

Updated to v.2.2.006
  • Fixed an error with get_report_jsonp and get_latest_json ajax requests.

Dunno if I'm doing something wrong here or not but results with no drivers are not being removed for me.

2nd EDIT: Disregard, it somehow sorted itself out after i started a 2.2.005 instance to check something and then fired up 2.2.006 and all was good with the world.

Hello!

We ran into a timing issue during one of our r2la Hotlap competitions and I wanted to flag it.


  • What happened: Hotlap competitions let us set an end date, but not an end time. The competition therefore closed at 00:00 local time. Our rFactor 2 sessions are configured to run 2h45m each, and rF2 only writes the XML report at session end. On the final night, the last session ended at 00:45, so the XML for that session was only generated at 00:45—after the competition had technically ended at 00:00. As a result, that session’s laps were dropped from the final leaderboard, even though some of the laps were set before midnight.
  • Impact: It affected our final standings (we selected top-30 fastest), and required manual intervention to correct. This can skew results for hotlap events that naturally roll past midnight due to fixed session lengths.
  • Why it happens (our understanding):
    • There’s no way to specify an explicit end time (only date), so the cutoff is at 00:00.
    • r2la seems to rely on the session/XML timing rather than per-lap timestamps at cutoff, so results from sessions that finish after midnight are excluded as a whole.
  • Suggested fixes / feature requests:
    1. Add an End Time (HH:MM) field to Hotlap competitions (with timezone), not just a date.
    2. Option to evaluate eligibility by per-lap timestamp ≤ competition end (include laps set before cutoff even if the XML is written after).
    3. A configurable grace period/buffer (e.g., 60 minutes) that allows ingestion of sessions finishing shortly after the cutoff, with laps filtered to the cutoff time.
    4. Alternatively, treat sessions that started before the cutoff as eligible and filter laps by timestamp inside that session.

If helpful, I can share the last-night XML and timestamps that demonstrate the issue.


Thanks for all your work on r2la—it’s been rock solid for us overall. This tweak would make hotlap competitions much safer for events that run close to midnight.

You can override class badge colors in web2py\applications\r2la\static\css\app.css file. Look at badge classes with browser dev tools.
Also look at "Customizing css" part at web2py http://127.0.0.1:8000/help page.

Thanks.

I followed the following instructions "You can change class badge color by adding values at the end of web2py\applications\r2la\static\css\app.css file. It should look like this: .uk-badge-class0-championship_name {background-color: #your_color}. Where "championship_name" is the name of the championship for which you need to change class badge color, replace "spaces" in championship name with "_" (underscore) symbols. You can change class badge colors for all championships by changing values for classes .uk-badge-class0 (0 to 4) in app.css file.

How would it read if say the champtionship name was WEC? Is this it? .uk-badge-class0 WEC {background-color: #4ae219}
 
There is a little old info in that help text, sorry, I will change it. There is no "-" between uk-badge-class and championship_name, its 2 separate css classes now.
So css selector should select 2 css classes. One - name of the badge (it can be with a class number: uk-badge-class2 or car class name: uk-badge-class-LMP2) and two - name of championship (with "spaces" in champ name replaced with "_").

For WEC championship and LMP2 class it is:
.uk-badge-class-LMP2.WEC {background-color: #a341b2}
or
.uk-badge-class2.WEC {background-color: #a341b2} (if LMP2 class has index 2, should look this in page inspector)

You may need to press CTLR+F5 to reload browser page for changes to take effect. Championship css class selector will only work for session reports on championship pages, not on general Results Viewer page.

That works. Thanks
 
Is it possible for the Records page to show a driver's personal best for certain date range?

For example, a lot of drivers' personal bests were set in 2024. So, when I filter to only 2025, I only see a few drivers listed who have set a personal best in 2025. My hope was that I would see the personal best for each driver who has set a time within the 2025 date range. Regardless if it's their all time personal best.
 
Filter on Records page can not work like that, because records are taken (found) only on "refresh" since it's resource consuming process. Then Records page just shows records table (optionally) filtered.

There is an option "Show records only after date" on http://127.0.0.1:8000/options/track_records page. This one affects records selection on "refresh". Try to use it to show only records set in 2025. But this will have effect for all Records pages (all tracks).

Hi Nibo !

In addition to Drivers and Teams championships, would it be possible to add a Manufacturers Championship ?
I currently use the Teams championship based on "TeamName" or "CarType" to simulate my teams and manufacturers championships but can't have both together with Drivers championship standings.
I also use car statistics but this aggregates all points for every entry of each manufacturer, when I only want the two best scoring entries to count towards Manufacturers championship.

Thanks in advance for any advice / solution :)
 
I can not add such features. But, as a suggestion, you can enable Manual Classes for championship. Create manufactures as classes and add drivers to this classes manually.
 
Thanks Nibo. Too bad, I thought it would be possible since you already offer the possibility to tweak the Teams Championship (category/carclass/cartype/team name), so this would duplicate this option actually.
I already use Manual Classes as well, for the different stages of the season (sprint cup / endurance cup like in Supercars).
Thanks anyway :)
