24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual Highlights, Results and Aftermath
June 15, 2020 By Dan Thornton Leave a Comment
As the biggest sim racing event of all-time, the 2020 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual took place from 3pm on Saturday June 13th with 50 cars and 200 drivers competing via rFactor 2. And for all intents and purposes, it was pretty close to the real thing.
Alongside professional sim racers, a total of 115 real world motorsport drivers competed, including Max Verstappen, Lando Norris, Jenson Button, Fernando Alonso, Felipe Massa, Bruno Senna, Juan Pablo Montoya, Simon Pagenaud, Antonio Felix Da Costa, Charles LeClerc, Antonio Giovinazzi, and many, many more.
And the whole thing was broadcast on TV networks across 57 countries with presenters Tom Kristensen and Allan McNish. If you missed the live action, then here's a handy highlights video.
Not only that, but many of the teams were run as official factory efforts. Some squads were collaborations between manufacturers and top sim racing teams, with others as the eSports division of the factories.

In the field were a total of 30 LMP teams who were all competing in identical Oreca 07 cars, and 20 GTE teams who could choose the Aston Martin Vantage, Corvette C.7R, Ferrari 488 GTE or the Porsche 911 RSR.
Most teams were split between professional sim racers and their real world motorsport counterparts, although some teams either went with a single sim racer, or fielded a complete team of real world racers to use it as practice for the resumption of the World Endurance Championship.

The LMP and overall victory eventually went to the Rebellion Williams Esport #1 Oreca LMP driven by Louis Deletraz, Raffaele Marciello, Kuba Brzezinski and Nikodem Wisniewski.
They were followed home by the pole sitters, the 04 Bykolles – Burst ESport team with Tom Dillman, Esteban Guerrieri, Jerney Simoncic and Jesper Pedersen, and third went to the #13 Rebellion Williams Esport of Augustin Canapino, Jack Aitken, Marc Gassner and Michael Romanidis.
The GTE class victory went to the #93 Porsche 911 RSR of Nick Tandy, Ayhancan Guven, Joshua Rogers and Tommy Ostgaard, beating the Aston Martin Racing entry of Nicki Thim, Richard Westbrook, Lasse Sorensen, and Manuel Biancolilla, and the third placed Corvette of the R8G team with Daniel Juncadella, Matthias Beche, Risto Kappe and Erhan Jajovski.
There were drama for a number of teams, including the FA/RB team of Fernando Alonso and Rubens Barrichello which ran out of fuel following a penalty for a collision. The Team Redline favourites of Max Verstappen and Lando Norris experienced technical issues, as did the Ferrari AF Corse entry of Charles LeClerc and Antonion Giovinazzi

24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual – The Aftermath
There are a few things which came out of the event, beyond various motorsports 'fans' running around social media and motorsport websites complaining that a virtual event isn't real.
Studio 397 has released an official statement, following on from some technical issues which included two server issues leading to red flags and restarts.
And some tech glitches unfortunately affected Verstappen, Norris and LeClerc among others. Which would be three of the most popular drivers competing in terms of current lockdown fandom. Although Simon Pagenaud swapping his entire sim rig after a breakage shows that racers can overcome most things.
Obviously the internet is quick to complain and ask why the series didn't use their particular favourite racing sim, and how there could be issues with a sim race on a scale that hadn't been done before (in terms of professional involvement from drivers and media).
And that's a bit of a shame, really. The current global pandemic has put a spotlight on sim racing that's never been available until now, and many people have been working towards an event like this for decades. As a site which originally launched back in 2010, we certainly thought real world and sim drivers racing together in an FIA event would take many more years.
The coverage was also excellent, with the presenters, English commentary team and a whole host of interviews with legendary Le Mans drivers really conveying the feel that this was a proper event rather than just messing around until real motorsport resumes.
That more serious approach was also notable in the driving style of everyone participating, as aside from the occasional unfortunate incident, competitors were all keeping it clean and fast.
Having watched several hours of racing on both Saturday and Sunday, the virtual event was fairly indistinguishable from the real thing, with a similar amount of tension and drama as LMP cars weaved through the GTE traffic.
Hopefully the sim racing world can focus on pulling together to celebrate the best of the hobby (for most of us non-professionals), before the lifting of lockdown restrictions means the spotlight will return more to real world racing. After all, the more people we retain in the future as spectators or drivers within sim racing, the better it is for all of us, whether they're in rFactor2, iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competizione, Gran Turismo or Forza. And it means bigger audiences, more customers and increased support for sim racing hardware manufacturers, game developers, and even sim racing websites!

IHSHL Snapshot Will Bring Exclusive Rink to Rink Coverage of the Illinois High School Hockey Scene
By Administrator on September 10, 2018
By Ross Forman
The Road to the United Center starts this September, when teams across the state begin the journey to the Illinois High School State Championship games, which will be played next March at the legendary arena that serves as the home rink for the Chicago Blackhawks.
Loyola Gold carries the weight this season as the defending state champion after the Ramblers stopped Stevenson, ending Loyola's decades-old drought as the top team in the top-tiered Red Division and slashing Stevenson's dream season and first state championship game appearance.
The Ramblers certainly are motivated to return to the United Center and defend their title, but countless opponents have another thing in mind. Let's start with arch rival New Trier Green; no doubt the Trevians want yet another state championship. And the same can be said for Glenbrook North.
And that's just the start of Illinois High School Hockey teams eyeing a Red Division State Championship in 2019. Other contenders include Stevenson, St. Viator, Benet Academy, Providence Catholic and probably a dozen or more with a true, legitimate shot at skating for state next March at the UC.
AHAI is proud to bring exclusive rink to rink coverage of the Illinois High School Hockey scene with the new AHAI High School Hockey newsletter, titled, IHSHL Snapshot. Once a month, starting Sept. 26, AHAI will present new, original coverage of Illinois High School Hockey. Sure, that will include coverage of the perennial powers, such as Loyola, New Trier, Glenbrook North and South, and so many others. The IHSHL Snapshot reporting also will include extensive coverage of the Combined Division, as BG/H/W looks to repeat as Combined State Champion. Or, will Waubonsie Valley with a new head coach return to the United Center in March?
IHSHL Snapshot also will include behind-the-scenes reporting from all leagues, including Metro Girls, where New Trier is the defending State Champion and skating with a new head coach (Lenny Munson). Who can topple the Trevians?
In addition, IHSHL Snapshot will include the Top 20 Rankings from Ross Forman, who has been the only Illinois High School Hockey reporter to have continually covered the sport for the past 20 years.
IHSHL Snapshot will have feature stories, news reports and game/tournament coverage – from the drop of the puck to the game-ending buzzer. Some of the Snapshot coverage you will expect; some we are proud to say may surprise you. Case in point, read below for a report on the JV team at De La Salle Institute, which also is eyeing state championship glory during the 2018-19.
If you have Illinois High School Hockey story ideas or notes, please email them directly to Ross Forman at: Rossco814@aol.com.
AHAI is proud to launch IHSHL Snapshot for the Illinois High School Hockey scene, and we're certain it will be a goal every month.

Talking Titles
New Trier Green came out strong, starting the season with a dominant 5-0 win over Glenbrook North on Sunday, Sept. 9, to capture the championship in the annual Pre-Season Invitational, hosted by Wheaton West.
The Trevians cruised past York, 8-1, in the semifinals, while the Spartans advanced with a 3-1 win over Providence Catholic in the other semi.
New Trier Green coach Bob Melton said it was, "a great early-season tournament win." Trevians goalie Owen Reger claimed the MVP Award. "This Green team has great work-ethic so far," Melton added.
Meanwhile, in Crystal Lake, Libertyville slipped past Loyola Maroon, 3-1, on Sunday, Sept. 9, to capture the championship of the annual Gator Cup.
The Wildcats skated into the championship game after stopping Barrington 2-1 in the semifinals, while the Ramblers shocked No. 1-seeded Lyons Township 5-2 in the other semi.
Jason Ori is in his first season coaching the co-op IceCats, a mix of players from Libertyville and Vernon Hills.
Libertyville opened tourney play with a convincing 5-1 win over, then surprised Benet Academy, 3-1.
In JV Gator Cup action, Lake Park captured the JV – Esposito Title, defeating Warren 4-1 for the win. And Loyola blanked Glenbrook North 2-0 for the JV – Mikita Title.
JV SPOTLIGHT … De La Salle Institute
De La Salle Institute, which had a hockey team in the 1980s and early-1990s, is back on the ice, looking to re-build the program and also recapture the magic of, oh, 2017 – when De La Salle was the Haynes-Suburban High School League champion.
"I believe the team this year will be great and has an opportunity to do well during the season. We are hoping to go far in playoffs," said Nick Holmes, 28, who lives in Chicago and is a teacher at De La Salle Institute and in his first season as the team's head coach. He has coached for two seasons, both at De La Salle.
"(Our) goals will be to bond together as a team. Last season, the team was very close. We have a few new players this year.
"(Long-term), the goal for DLS is going to be (fielding) a JV and varsity team competing in the Catholic League.
"We at De La Salle are very excited to just be playing hockey. We have an amazing group of student-athletes."
Holmes played youth hockey in AAA organizations in Illinois, plus the Chicago Steel (USHL), Alpena Ice Diggers (NAHL), Trenton Golden Hawks (OPHL), University of Oklahoma (ACHA College) and Prescott Valley Sundogs (CHL).
DLS practices at Johnny's Ice House East and West, but only plays its home games at Johnny's East.
Last season, DLS lost in the league playoff semifinals, 3-2 to Lake Central.
"Our strengths will be leadership from our returning players and our captain and assistant captain," Holmes said.
Some of the key DLS players this season are senior center and returning captain Dom Caponera, senior defenseman Jack Mangan, and junior defenseman Gabe Galvez.

The Music of Machines
Europeana Music
Every month, Europeana Music invites a guest curator to look at a particular area of music. This month, our guest is Greg Markus from Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision.
The everyday sounds are the ones that soundtrack our lives and have simply since humans developed ears and the capacity to listen.
Europeana offers thousands of visitors the unique opportunity to explore Europe's sound heritage through music dating back a century. However, for this month, we're curating sounds that once filled the Netherlands' sonic environment and showcasing how artists are transforming them into new musical masterpieces as part of the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision's RE:VIVE initiative.
For artists that sample sounds mold them into new creations some of the most prized audio content are environmental field recordings. They not only have serendipitous moments that exist only in that place at that time, they also offer vast amounts of sonic range from 20 to 20,000khz. This sonic range presents countless opportunities to warp, stretch, splice, cut and explore.
Sounds like the those of machine rooms, road traffic, and even a washing machine might sound like the least musical thing to a normal person but for a musician it is a world of wonders like a sculpture getting a slate of marble and chiseling away to create a whole new world.
Explore more at: https://soundcloud.com/r-srecords/lakker-maeslantkering-gating
Mechanical field recordings also offer the opportunity to bring sounds otherwise impossible to recreate in a recording studio into music. For instance, the sounds from the Port of Rotterdam, Europe's busiest port where the groans of of heavy machinery and wails from ship horns dominant the day-to-day sonic landscape. These sounds define the city and their power is a great way to capture an emotion a human and their instrument could ever amass.
Listen at https://soundcloud.com/fogmountainrecords/hoek-haven
Lastly, what these environmental field recordings and sounds offer is the capturing of specific historic moments and legacies that are now lost or forgotten.
For instance, these recordings from Amsterdam's Huis van Bewaring, a massive prison that once stood next to Leidseplein are the remaining echoes of human incarceration in a place that is now a tourist hot spot. Using sounds from the Huis van Bewaring not only provide cataclysmic reverb but equally provide an emotional weight that carries over to the artist's' approach to music.

Gone are the days of loggers toiling in the great outdoors enduring the elements and demands of strenuous physical labor. As the industry has become more mechanized, those who work in the logging sector are more likely to be driving a truck or operating heavy equipment. In fact, in 20 short years the logging profession has transformed from one of the most physically demanding jobs a body can withstand to one of the most static workplaces a body can survive. While traumatic and fatal injuries have substantially reduced, the rate of "soft tissue" or "repetitive motion" injuries is on the rise.
Like traditional office workers, skilled machine operators' workdays are long, inactive, and highly repetitious, and are done from small cubicle-like spaces. However, the logger's cabicle is exposed to dangers beyond those an office worker is exposed to. Whole body vibration, constant jarring, temperature extremes, poor air quality, elevated noise levels, and a production pace being driven by other team members combine to increase the hazards of machine operation. Extended workdays (often 12 hours) exacerbate all issues by increasing exposure and decreasing recovery time. Traditional equipment cabs were not intended for these extended shifts.
Enter the modern logging machine cabicle. These things are awesome, equipped with all the features of your favorite ManCave. The newest equipment offers amenities designed to accommodate operators of all sizes and make their workday as productive and pain free as possible: adjustable seating and controls, climate control with hepa filtration and aromatherapy (okay, we might not be quite ready for that one), heated/cooled air-ride seats, lunch box heater and cooler, XM radio and Bluetooth, and noise reducing features. With an environment like that who would want to leave? But having all of these amenities comes at an ergonomic cost. On a good day, when nothing breaks down, an operator may exit the cab only a few times in a 12-14 hour shift resulting in increased seat time further limiting physical activity.
Use the full range of adjustment options to create a workspace that allows your body to stay as close to neutral posture as possible.
Exit the cab for whole-body stretching–especially for the back. A brief walk will increase circulation bringing necessary nutrients to tissue and remove harmful toxins which concentrate when circulation slows.
Stay hydrated. All functions of your body perform best when fully hydrated–even your brain. Dehydration has been shown to adversely affect decision making ability and cognitive performance, which may impact job productivity and safety. In the summer, air conditioners remove much needed moisture from the air. In the winter, cold dry air lacks adequate moisture for respiration and must be hydrated by the moisture in your lungs.
Find ways to incorporate physical activity into your daily routine–both at work and at home.
While the transition to a more mechanized industry has reduced the most life-threatening injuries, the impact of long term logging equipment operations on chronic adverse health conditions has yet to be fully understood. With the term "sitting is the new smoking" being echoed by researchers again and again, incorporating these recommendations will be a much needed improvement to your overall health and wellbeing.
With the snow banks melting in the Northeast comes the requisite spring clean-up around the property. If your facility includes even a little wooded property, that clean-up will most likely include some quality time with your chainsaw. Regardless of your skill level, it's critical that you are aware of the hazards you will face and have the skills to manage them successfully; or recognize that you don't and obtain additional resources from your employer. These resources may take the form of gear upgrades, more help, or additional training.
The OSHA standard for logging operations (1910.266) sets the baseline standards for all chainsaw operations. It is very specific about training, supervision, and operational guidelines. Some very practical information is available on their website, specifically the Logging ETool.
For basic chainsaw operation, I've divided the necessary information into three categories. MEMIC has developed webinars and guiding documents for each of these topics. All are available on the Safety Director at www.memic.com.
A full compliment of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
A saw maintained in serviceable condition.
Specific hands-on training should be attended and operations closely supervised in regards to the most hazardous chainsaw operations, tree felling, and storm damage clean-up.
If you consider the tools and equipment you'll use during outdoor projects, I think you'd agree that the chainsaw may create the greatest hazard. Take the time to get it right as the stakes are high when the accident involves a chainsaw, trees under tension, and gravity.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2010 294,620 employees suffered injuries from slips, trips, or falls. Of these, 221,100 were from falls to the same level or slip or trip events.
Slips and falls are the leading cause of workers' compensation claims and are the leading cause of occupational injury for people aged 15-24 years.
Compensation & medical costs associated with employee slip/fall accidents is approximately $70 billion annually (National Safety Council Injury Facts 2003 edition).
All slips and falls are preventable with a little planning and forethought. Since we may have little control of the surface we tread upon, slip and trip avoidance depend heavily on YOU. Your attention to your surroundings, what you have on your feet, and what you're doing in the moment are all critical.
It is usually awareness/behavior that contributes the most to a slip or fall occurrence, but the best attack on slip and fall hazards is a combined evaluation of these four areas.
The following is a checklist and mnemonic when evaluating slip and fall hazards and developing a plan for preventing them.
This is not necessarily a complete list of areas to evaluate, so don't limit yourself when trying to develop a plan for prevention or in post incident analysis.
So Take a MEMIC Minute and remember, ALL slip and fall events are PREVENTABLE!
Since today is the first official day of winter it is time to think about winter driving challenges and the condition of our vehicles.
Check your vehicle to make sure your tires are in good condition and properly inflated (and never mix radial tires with other tire types). The legal minimum tread depth is only about 1/3 of what is really needed for proper performance on snow. Your defroster system and windshield wipers will see extra duty so be sure they are in good working order. Keep a snow brush and ice scraper handy along with an extra gallon of windshield washer fluid. Include an emergency kit with first aid supplies, flashlight, blanket, and reflective triangles.
If driving in mountainous regions the best advice is to stay off the roads; however, if travel is required you may also want to carry tire chains (check local laws first), sand, and a shovel. If driving in remote areas or on divided highways with limited exits, you should consider carrying a sleeping bag, boots and warm clothing.
Lastly, drive with extra caution when weather and driving conditions change, and use your seat belt every time you get in to your vehicle. Check out the following links for more information concerning winter driving.
According to the Business & Legal Reports safety website, workplace injury statistics reveal that new employees are 5 times more likely to experience a lost-time injury in the first month of employment compared to the experienced worker. Additionally, studies show that 40 percent of all workers injured on the job have been at it less than a year.
Given these facts, ensuring the safety of the "newbie" is of utmost importance, particularly where a business's greatest asset is its people. Equally, smart hiring practices and new employee safety orientation translate to preservation of the bottom line.
Post-offer, pre-placement physical exams, especially for physically demanding job positions.
Written job descriptions that detail the physical aspect of the work tasks.
New employee orientation and training on the equipment and tools associated with the job, emergency evacuation routes, location of first-aid kits, MSDSs, and items such as fire extinguishers.
Most occupational health providers offer pre-placement physicals for a nominal fee. These are designed to determine the functional capacity of the individual. The written job description stipulating physical demands can also be used in determining light duty activities for an injured employee with temporary work restrictions.
Use of an orientation checklist while showing the new hire the safety features of the workplace can serve as documentation of the facility safety tour.
As a timesaver, MEMIC has assembled a number of training checklists including an employee safety orientation form in the on-line MEMIC Safety Director resource library. (Note: MEMIC Safety Director requires user registration and is exclusively for MEMIC customers.) For additional resources on hiring practices, click on the Human Resources link under the bold heading Action Plans on the Safety Director's home page.


Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, Lawrence MacAulay, announced that starting January 7, 2019, requests for funding will be accepted. Dairy farmers will have until February 8, 2019, to apply for Phase II funding, valued at C$98m (US$74m).
The program will now have a two-stage application process involving a pre-selection step, which, if an applicant is selected, will be followed by the submission of a full application. This will be a random selection as opposed to the first-come first-served process in Phase I. The government said the new process will give all applicants an equal opportunity of being selected for funding. Priority will also be given to companies that have not already received funding.
Projects will be eligible for a contribution of up to C$100,000 (US$75,000), with between 1,000 and 1,500 projects expected to be funded.
A number of changes to Phase II of the Dairy Farm Investment Program were developed following consultations with industry and feedback from farmers.
The Dairy Farm Investment Program, originally launched in August 2017, aims to help Canadian cow's milk producers improve productivity through upgrades to their barn technology and equipment.
Of the 11,000 dairy farms in Canada, more than 2,500 applied to the program under Phase I, with more than 1,900 projects funded with an average of C$68,000 (US$51,000) per project.
Projects received funding for upgrades such as automatic feeding systems, robotic milking systems, and herd management equipment.
The Government has also announced the formation of new working groups to develop mitigation strategies to support farmers and processors to help them adjust to the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP).

Bought these as the shop did not have the Carlsbad pant in stock and I needed to ride 400 miles home. True to size in waist, I wear a 32 in regular pants and the 32s fit perfect. the BMW gear was too tight and felt constricted. The Klim feels more relaxed and fits me perfect. The pants are almost bulletproof. They performed well, and last weekend I was cruising around Napa when the rain began, the pants, though not waterproof, kept me warm and dry. Can't wait for my Carlsbad pants come in to match my Carlsbad Jacket. The pants are very well made and are very inconspicuous. Was looking for exactly what KLIM has made. the armor is adjustable in the knees so when you are riding, it is very comfortable. Would highly recommend these pants for your light riding gear.
I was looking for some armored pants that I could commute in, and these fit the bill. I'm on the short side -- 5' 7" with a 30" inseam -- and these fit really well. I cuff them once when I'm off the bike, just so they don't drag at the heel, but on the bike the length is perfect. Waist is a little larger than my jeans/khakis -- I wear a 32 usually without a belt, and the Klims were maybe 1/2" larger, so I wear a belt. Great fit, though, through the thigh and knee. The knees aren't curved, but the armor is well-articulated and natural to wear all day. Hip pads pretty unnoticeable, too. I haven't been down with these on, so I cannot comment on durability & abrasion-resistance. I like the snap on the right rear pocket, and the change/cell pocket is great -- the hip armor actually creates a little gate, kinda, that keeps anything from slipping out while you're riding.
<br>I love 'em -- comfy, substantial, look good.
Bought the Long ones and they arrived 34 3/4 inches, which seems a bit short. And at this price point, pretty surprised that a gusseted crotch isn't standard since thats such a common comfort and mobility feature in high end pants now. Otherwise they are tough and durable and I've used them on a couple weekend adventure rides so far and expect they will work great for a long time, the boys are just over crowded.
Perfect fats for all riding except MX and serious enduro.
Just roder the CDR , US and Canada Sections, then on up to dead horse, half the ride in the rain, these pants worked perfect, am in Fairbanks right now will be heading back to Texas via Washington after I finish riding the Alaska BDR,. I bought my badlands pro jacket and pants with eme but found the pants are not as comfortable or do they offer much more protection, the outrider has a very adjustable knee pad, the Badlands pad sixth=s way too low for me and is not nearly adjustable. The only question is what are they waterproofing these pat=nets with and where can I get more.
Just Spent 19 days in these doing over 4300 miles from Colorado to the southern tip of Baja and back. Worked great, comfortable enough with a reasonable amount of protection. Easy to carry wallet and necessary documentation in the pockets. Took a solid flat fall onto some concrete after hitting some ice like algae and stood up without a bruise. Light color was great for the reflecting off some of the sunshine down there. For the price point they do everything you could hope for and more.

Q: C - Relative path with fopen() Here's my question: I have some relative paths saved in a matrix of strings. Depending on the user choiche, I have to open a certain file. The problem is that, when I use the fopen function, the file pointer doesn't point to anything. Here's a sample of the code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#define MAX_PATH 100

///Global matrix of strings, containing the paths used in fopen() function
char paths[MAX_PATH][3] = {{"c:\\Users\\ThisPc\\Desktop\\file1.txt"},
                           {"c:\\Users\\ThisPc\\Desktop\\file2.txt"},
                           {"c:\\Users\\ThisPc\\Desktop\\file3.txt"}};

int main(){
    ///Declaring and initializing the 3 file pointers to NULL
    FILE *filepntr1 = NULL;
    FILE *filepntr2 = NULL;
    FILE *filepntr3 = NULL;

    ///Opening the 3 files with the correct arrays
    filepntr1 = fopen(paths[1], "w");
    filepntr2 = fopen(paths[2], "w");
    filepntr3 = fopen(paths[3], "w");

    ///Typing something on the files opened, just to check if the files where really opened
    fprintf(filepntr1, "hello");
    fprintf(filepntr2, "hello");
    fprintf(filepntr3, "hello");

    ///Closing the files
    fclose(filepntr1);
    fclose(filepntr2);
    fclose(filepntr3);

    return 0;
}

Obviously, the three files remain blank.
What am I doing wrong?

A: Main issue that you incorrectly create and populate array of paths, try this approach for example:
const char* paths[3] = {"c:\\Users\\ThisPc\\Desktop\\file1.txt",
                        "c:\\Users\\ThisPc\\Desktop\\file2.txt",
                        "c:\\Users\\ThisPc\\Desktop\\file3.txt"};

Second issue that array index starts from 0:
filepntr1 = fopen(paths[0], "w");
filepntr2 = fopen(paths[1], "w");
filepntr3 = fopen(paths[2], "w");

A: You should check against failure all of fopen, fprintf, fclose (on failure, consider using perror). And you might want to call (sometimes) fflush.
Be sure to read the documentation of every function I am mentioning here.
BTW, you can generate some file path, e.g.
char path[384];
int i = somenumber();
snprintf(path, sizeof(path), "/some/path/data_%d.txt", i);
FILE *f = fopen(path, "r");
if (!f) { perror(path); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); };

A: Do you want to be declaring a two-dimensional array for your paths? It looks like you're passing your whole first row (three strings) to fopen().

Q: Where do I put an array so that It is accessible to windows form controls? I am working on a C# windows forms app trading card game collection manager
I have a Card class and I'm trying to create an array of Card objects to represent every card in the set. From there, I would like to be able to search and display the Card details on the forms text boxes, labels, picturebox etc.
I have tried putting the array in form1.cs and program.cs both inside and outside different classes. The only place the array seems to be in scope for the click event handler is when it is declared inside it.
Where can I initialize this array so it accessible throughout the whole program and in scope for the form event handlers?  I'm very new to object oriented programming with windows forms
The Constructor for Card class takes one int parameter and initializes the "collector number"
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        const int NumberOfCardsInSet = 3;
        Card[] Set = new Card[NumberOfCardsInSet];
        for (int iii = 0; iii < NumberOfCardsInSet; iii++)
        { Set[iii] = new Card(iii + 1); }
    }
}

The constructor for Card takes an int parameter just to set the set number. After this, the card objects are accessible and I can set their fields.. however down here:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //test button
    DisplayCard(Set[0]);   //error: name "set" doesnt exist in current context
}

public void DisplayCard(Card selectedCard)
{
    myDCollectorNoTB.Text = selectedCard.CollectorNum.ToString();
    myDNameTB.Text = selectedCard.Name.ToString();
    myDRarityTB.Text = selectedCard.CardRarity.ToString();
    myDCostTB.Text = selectedCard.Cost.ToString();
}

A: The array needs to be declared within the scope of the class (as a member, just like the constructor or the button1_Click and DisplayCard methods).  Basing this on your code:
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    private const int NumberOfCardsInSet = 3;
    private Card[] Set = new Card[NumberOfCardsInSet];

    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        for (var i = 0; i < NumberOfCardsInSet; ++i)
        {
            Set[i] = new Card(i + 1);
        }
    }

    //your button1_Click and DisplayCard methods go here

}
