Codemasters Team@Hoobiechoobie Is it possible that your team add the m_carPosition to the PacketTimeTrialData? It's impossible now to find out the position of the Rival or Personal Best, and get the name information. The laptimes of Rivalcar and Personal Best can not be found in the normal Lapdata or . So I can;t search for the same time there and get the m_carPosition.
@Hoobiechoobie I have found a few bugs in the UDP Data:
- Multiplayer, One Shot Qualify. The damage of all cars exept the player car, have all 100% damage on the car, except for the frontwing.
- Timetrial: Output of the Asist are wrong. Rival car looks good, but m_gearboxassist gives 0 as output for player and Personal Best. And 0 is not a choise, it should be 1,2 or 3. But all the asist look wrong as output.
I've got never an event packet with SSTA (session start) and only the last two F1 practice sessions sent the event packet with SEND. The 9 F2 session (practice, oneshotqualiy and race) don't have any event packet with SSTA or SEND.
Has someone the same issue? All games beforc (since 2020) I didn't have the problem.

We are unable to repeat the damage issue. Have you got any more details about what mode or track you are using here?
For the Time Trial issue, we think this is might be an issue with the documentation. It should look like this:
struct TimeTrialDataSet
{
uint8 m_carIdx; // Index of the car this data relates to
uint8 m_teamId; // Team id - see appendix
uint32 m_lapTimeInMS; // Lap time in milliseconds
uint32 m_sector1TimeInMS; // Sector 1 time in milliseconds
uint32 m_sector2TimeInMS; // Sector 2 time in milliseconds
uint32 m_sector3TimeInMS; // Sector 3 time in milliseconds
uint8 m_tractionControl; // 0 = assist off, 1 = assist on
uint8 m_gearboxAssist; // 0 = assist off, 1 = assist on
uint8 m_antiLockBrakes; // 0 = assist off, 1 = assist on
uint8 m_equalCarPerformance; // 0 = Realistic, 1 = Equal
uint8 m_customSetup; // 0 = No, 1 = Yes
uint8 m_valid; // 0 = invalid, 1 = valid
};

And can you please add the m_carPosition so that we can translate it into the correct Player name?
I normally don't answer, when people seem to not have 1) put effort on understanding/research or 2) not to be willing to understand or both.
I will try once more answer your question, which 3 people have tried to answer with hope that this issue is not raised again.
There are the "multicar data packets", i.e. like PacketLapData, PacketCarTelmetryData and also thePacketParticipant data, which has the NAMES. In all these packets the "order of drivers" is always the same. So if e.g. player data is at index (i.e. idx) 6, then it is at that index in all these multicar packets. Also if driver's data is at index (idx) 1, then you can find the data for that driver in all the arrays in the same position, i.e. at index 1. Please note that typically the index values in arrays in programming start from 0, not from 1.
In the past in TimeTrial, player data was always at index 0 (i.e.m_idx == 0) and player personal best was at index 2 and the the rival/ghost was somewhere between 3 and 21. In the older games you had to detect from data, which car was actually the "rival", but now Codemasters has kindly helped the noobs and provides the data in the UDP feed, which I also appreciate.
To get back to the PacketTimeTrial data and your question:
There is data for only 3 cars: player, player_best and rival. If you want to get the Rival's name, you can use the m_carIdx from the m_rivalDataSet and take the PacketParticipantData.m_participants[m_caridx from m_rivalDataSet].m_name. If you had worked on the data from previous games, you would know, you can get he same rival m_carIdx from PacketLapData.m_timeTrialRivalCarIdex. I use the latter in my Tool.
Cheers.
