Sorry guys, long post incoming. It's not modding related so feel free to skip right through.
First of all I have the utmost respect for any modder. Be it cars, tracks, skins or even just polishing existing mods. Even bad looking mods/tracks that a lot of people might scoff at, I'd still keep it, if it's reasonable to drive. I just love collecting stuff. Believe me currently my AC folder has 1540 cars and 295 tracks. My old rFactor install has 500+ tracks.
Unfortunately as you said, you can't run encrypted mods without CSP. As I explained earlier, I respect what CSP has brought to AC modding but personally because of my limited time I don't derive any advantage from its features. Being a constantly evolving experimental mod, it's bound to have bugs and glitches with each new version. It's just an extra layer of complication and troubleshooting before I hit the track. After scouring this thread each week, installing all the new mods, tagging/fixing UI names I only have maybe 1 hour of free time left. I want to use that time to drive, not spend it trying to find out why the Sun looks like it's about to explode over the track.
Anyway, I gave up and installed CSP v0.1.25 last year. Everything is good until this year when a couple of cars and tracks gave me the error because I needed to update to the latest version of CSP to break the encryption. So I updated, but then it gave me the Sun issue above. Now that's fixed. But in the future if they upgrade the encryption, I have to update CSP again, and who knows what other problems that creates?
I mean if the creator makes the track from scratch then I can understand he/she wanting to protect it. But this track is a straight up rip from Initial D Arcade 8 so he doesn't even have the rights to it. If SEGA knows about this they could probably even sue him/her.
Regarding ripping the track to other games, honestly we've already seen worse in AC. Simdream/RTM has been ripping cars from Forza and lots of other games, and selling them for money. I'm not sure but I think a few of them are encrypted as well. So our community is just as guilty as those GTA modders. At the end of the day it's only a game. If more people and more games could enjoy these amazing cars & tracks, isn't that a win for everyone? Sharing is caring and all that. I doubt anybody actually earns a living off making mods alone.
Last issue, this doesn't affect me but apparently you can't take new showroom/preview pics for encrypted cars. Also there are lots of good and smart people here trying to improve mods (a LOT better than the original ripper ever could), and you can't do that either if it's encrypted.
TL;DR it's not for me to judge whether modders want to encrypt their work or not. But IMO it's just an unnecessary complication, just to protect the modder's own "nebulous" sense of ownership. I'll leave it to Legion to sum it up best:

Now, resume original programming folks
So much awesome content this week, from Maggiore, Schottenring, Topanga and Teddie's track along with all the new cars. 50k posts and counting, surely this is one of the longest threads on GTP (and definitely the best) 
You guys never cease to amaze me

@GzeroD I DLed you Porsche 917 cars, love these, and thank you for doing these! One question is the 1971 version, the showroom pictures show several different versions but the model is not really any of these. It seems that you have the correct one modeled based on some of the pictures. Really want the '71 model with the little vertical fins, that won the 1971 Le Mans. Is there a quick way you can put this one up?

If you are using CSP the right models should show up in game only. The showrooms will show the model with all the different bits included but when loaded into the game CSP will remove the ones that don't belong to that skin.
It's not ideal and doing new previews is a bit of a chore. Let e know how you get on.

I like your point, Ted! I also believe some folks here misunderstood your mood, and felt like you were being harsh.
I also remember someone here acknowledging you as a real driver, which backs up your opinion, and the fact that you didn't bring that up speaks well of you.
In a general, yet specific direction, is it possible that you could point which direction Gzerod should follow in order to improve the cars performance? You know, something like "decrease all X values to XXXX, and mantain all Y values whitin XXXX range".
I don't know if editing AC physics is your thing. Maybe you could give "driver's feedback" on just one or two cars, and Gzerod could take that into consideration for the future.

Actually I am a professional "penetration tester"...Have you tried with VPN? Always liked hacking/doxing it honestly...
I could try from.. .China, Russia, Taiwan, more (my VPNs are super private - not an app/service)

Goddamn that site, part of a FB group full of pics of private cars we'll NEVER get our hands on...
Are they like roleplaying or something since they even got a private garage too?
I'm in their fb group.No comments are allowed.I asked them once how i can try a car or even buy it.No response.They only post pictures and the only thing you can do is like them or not like them.And their website never worked for me.

I think, not at the right PC now, that I left examples of each configuration as models in the car's folder. Either backup and rename these files or better, find lods.ini in the data folder and edit which file it references. Now the showroom should use that model and any previews will do so also. A bit of a chore and prone to mistakes so as always keep a backup so nothing gets lost.

sorry I forgot about you.....
For how wonderful you are and what a whole of this forum and the basis of this forum you are, thank you for everything you do, share, help and know.
You have, of course, a couple of vipers here who are just waiting to complain about the work of others, to get on with something, to make a mess behind your back, but it's not even worth writing off the heteroes that are everywhere, these are the times.
I greet the above mentioned once again.

Hello, @RMi_wood . Yes, I have had the Rockingham track from Legion for a while now. Legion does a great job of
providing several interior configurations on some known Oval tracks that an AC facebook Nascar group does not
do(facebook group just does the Ovals). Thanks for the link to the track again.
I dont know what happened to their track design guy on the Assetto Corsa Facebook Nascar group, they haven't done any new or
updates for tracks for quite a while. They had a Dover Oval track video that looked pretty much done previews and had in the plans to
do the Charlette Roval track, Their main guys there continue to work and show off new cars and skins for Nascar.
I periodically go there to see if any track updates have been done.
take care.
