Simresults is an open-source, object-oriented library built using PHP5. It allows you to read out log files of a race game and transforms them to a simple data model to easily read out this data.
This project is the core of the website simresults.net , which allows you to upload your race log files and transform them to a readable format. The uploaded results become saved and public, so visitors can share them with their fellow racers. An example result can be found at http://simresults.net/130529-X2g.
The website is a service but also a demonstration of what is possible using this library. This library does not supply any HTML templates or whatsoever. Any 'implementation' is up to you within your own project and is not limited to any framework.
This project is created and maintained by Maurice van der Star

Simresults supports a wide range of games:
- rFactor
- rFactor 2
- Game Stock Car 2012
- Game Stock Car 2013
- Game Stock Car Extreme
- Formula Truck 2013
- Assetto Corsa
- RACE
- RACE 07
- GTR
- GTR2
- GT Legends
- RaceRoom Racing Experience
- BMW M3 Challenge
- F1 challenge 99-02
The following expansions of RACE (07) should work too:
- Race: Caterham expansion
- GTR Evolution
- Crowne Plaza
- STCC - The Game
- STCC 2 - The Game
- RACE On
- Raceroom - The Game
- Raceroom - The Game 2
- Formula Raceroom
- GT Power
- WTCC 2010
- Retro
- Race Injection
- Volvo - The Game
Please note that Game Stock Car and Formula Truck will be reported as as a rFactor game.
Results from F1 challenge and GTR might miss laps.
Results from Assetto Corsa (race_out.json) and Raceroom might only contain 1 lap.
- Can read out a full session consisting of the following information: Game, Server, Settings, Track, Participants/Drivers including swaps, Vehicle, Compound choice, Chats, Laps/Sectors, Fuel usage, Pit info, Penalties and Incidents
- Offers extra methods to get specific data, e.g.
getBestLap()
andgetBestLapBySector(<int>)
- Offers a Helper class to sort laps by time and format times to human readable
format (
h:i:s.u
) - Caches heavy methods like
getLapsSortedBySector(<int>)
. This is very useful with endurance results that have 200+ laps - The API is unittested
lib/Data/Reader/Rfactor2.php
- Supports rFactor and rFactor 2. Also works for other rFactor powered games: Game Stock Car 2012, Game Stock Car 2013 and Formula Truck 2013
- Detects and fixes position data (sometimes log files report complete wrong positions due to lag/bugs)
- Detects human and AI players using their aids (sometimes log files report wrong player state)
lib/Data/Reader/AssettoCorsa.php
- Limited data. Use server logs if possible.
lib/Data/Reader/AssettoCorsaServer.php
lib/Data/Reader/RaceRoomServer.php
- Limited data. Only contains the best lap of drivers.
lib/Data/Reader/Race07.php
- Also works for the following games: RACE, GTR, GTR2, GT Legends, BMW M3 Challenge, F1 challenge 99-02 and all expansions of these games
- Checks and fixes log variations like non-zero based laps and missing lap data
- PHP 5.3
- Composer (for easy installing and autoloading)
Simresults can be installed and autoloaded using composer. But ofcourse it will work with any PSR-0 autoloader.
Install composer:
curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php
Create file composer.json
:
{
"require": {
"mauserrifle/simresults":"dev-develop"
}
}
Run composer install
./composer.phar install
Create index.php:
<?php
// Load code
require(realpath('vendor/autoload.php'));
// Path to the result source file
$file = realpath(dirname(__FILE__)
.'/vendor/mauserrifle/simresults/tests/logs/rfactor2'
.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'race.xml');
// Get a reader using the source file
$reader = \Simresults\Data_Reader::factory($file);
// Get the session
$session = $reader->getSession();
// Get participants sorted by their position
$participants = $session->getParticipants();
// Get the driver name of the second participant
$driver_name = $participants[1]->getDriver()->getName();
// Get the best lap of the second participant
$best_lap = $participants[1]->getBestLap();
// Get the best lap of the session
$session_best_lap = $session->getBestLap();
// Format the gap between the two laps
$best_lap_gap = \Simresults\Helper::formatTime(
$session_best_lap->getGap($best_lap));
echo $best_lap_gap;
Run server
php -S localhost:8000
Open http://localhost:8000 and all should work!
For further usage please read the classes code within the lib
folder. They
are carefully documented.
Have a bug or a feature request? Please open a new issue.
Some classes like Participant
do heavy caching. So changing any value after
calling sorting methods will be pointless. There are no cache invalidate
methods (yet). Most likely they will never be needed as there's no use case you
actually would want to change values after reading out all data.
When writing a reader. NEVER call methods like getVehicle()
on Participant
(which uses cached methods). Re-use your own created objects (like $vehicle
)
within the reading to prevent any early invalid cache. Do this for all type of
objects.
Logs tend to miss lap data on all games. Check the logs.
The Race 07 reader detects qualify if all drivers are DNF. There's no session type in these log files. This detection might be false in some cases.
GTR, GTL, F1 challenge don't have a timestamp or timezone information. So dates are created using the default timezone.
The project is designed to be extended with new features and game support. Feel free to fork Simresults on GitHub and submit a pull request!
The project is fully unittested using PHPUnit. If you offer any changes, make sure all your new additions are tested.
To run the tests, use the following command:
./vendor/bin/phpunit tests
