In the event of a field of 13-16 drivers we will disable mics and race with one grid. With 17+ we will split the grid.

Eligibility

This WRS-Online event hosted by 3D3 Racing is open to GTP_Registered members only. If you are not currently on the registry run the GTP_Registry qualifier and join now!

Registration Instructions

The following must be performed by every driver for every event:
  • Click the registration button above, fill-in and submit the online registration form (use your GTP_ tag ID)
  • Leave a quick note in this thread to let us know you've registered and any other comments.
The following must be performed only one time per driver (not per event):
  • Send a PSN friend request to GTP_3D3Racing, GTP_3D3_A and GTP_3D3_B from your GTP_tag account.
  • Submit the 3D3 Racing Online Driver Database Entry Form. Your information will need to be verified before you are added to the db and before your ID will appear in the registered driver table above. You can view the official driver database here.

There is a 32 car/driver limit for this event (per region) and slots are awarded on the grid using a first come first serve basis. Reference the registered drivers table above for availability. This is a stand alone race and points are not tallied for a series. Future WRS-Online races hosted by 3D3 racing may have different driver limits and will require re-registration using the same first come first serve basis and participation in future events is optional.

Registration Changes

If you want to change your time slot, add a time slot or update your color choices just click on the registration link and fill out the form again and submit with new values. Your last entry will override any previous entries.

Cancellations

If for some reason, after you register for the event, you are unable to attend please click the registration button above and complete the form again selecting "cancel" as your status. Please also post a note in this thread as the table above can take some time to update.

Delaying or Restarting Race Start

Once the race countdown timer has started, the race will only be restarted in these cases:
  • Multiple drivers report a black screen/hang, instead of the 3-2-1 countdown.
  • One or more drivers get disconnected before race-pace has begun ("GO" for grid-starts, end of formation lap for rolling starts).
  • Steward realizes there is a condition that would lead to an unfair or poor race experience.

Once the race countdown timer has started, the race will explicitly NOT be restarted for:
  • Latecomers, even if you've registered
  • Driver realizes he picked the wrong car parts (ie, tires) or driving options (ie, Auto tranny)

  • Pole sitter will choose his/her preferred side of the track.
  • There should be no overlap between cars in the staggered formation.

  • Weaving or other tire warming procedures are NOT allowed during the formation lap.
  • Pole sitter will exit the last corner and take care to give enough time to allow all cars behind to safely exit the final corner.
  • Start marker for Motegi East is start/finish line.

  • All other drivers should accelerate after the driver in front of you does so.
  • No passing is allowed before the start marker.
  • Be cautious and courteous in the first turn. Dive bombing will be penalized and will not be tolerated.

Standard Clean OLR Rules Apply:

  • Unless otherwise specified, all rules from the original WRS event apply.
  • You are expected to drive clean at all times as if you are racing in the WRS. All participants are required to follow the GTPlanet Online Racing Rules & Guidelines.
  • 3D3 Race Stewards (who are taking part in race, but will review the replay) reserve the right to kick out or invalidate the result of any driver from the Race Room for driving offensively. If you ignore any warnings from the stewards and are kicked out of the race room, you will not be allowed to participate in future 3D3 events.
  • Contact with walls should be avoided. Wall riding/bouncing to gain time will be penalized and/or can result in disqualification.
  • Rumble/ripple strips are part of the track
  • Runoff areas are not part of the track including green painted concrete.
  • Limit your contact with walls or objects, visible or invisible
  • No hybrids
  • No cheating of any kind
  • Nothing that goes against the spirit of the rules
  • Passing and Blocking: Aggressive blocking is not permitted, but the driver in front has the right to choose his/her line and braking point and drivers behind should respect that line. Be especially careful when you are on older tires than the competition as the speed difference may be significant. These events are "for fun" so just play nice and take a conservative rather than an aggressive approach when possible.

Good Luck, OLR Team:gtplanet:

1. The car you won in this year's GT Academy (can't be gifted)
2. The car you won in a previous GT Academy (CAN be gifted, warning...may be pink):)
 
Cool combo guys,
I will do my most effort to be in the race on Wednesday.👍

Rusty as hell :scared:but time enough for practice.:)
 
I'm not certain I'll be racing. I had more issues in the races on Wednesday with my gas pedal fluctuating. If it continues to get worse, I'll have to put races and time trials to the side again. I should be getting new pedals for Christmas, so I won't have to wait that long.
 
Have try'd to send the NIssan 370Z tuned car (acadamy 08') but it says it is not possible ???? Should be the correct car... Can anyone help me ?

I could sent the car form my other account to my GTP account. So it works, maybe you accidentally tried the wrong one.

I did some practice laps in my own lobby last night and set the lobby with Tuning Prohibited setting and i could not enter the track with the academy car form last year, car was completely stock. Weird

Awesome combo. Will be tricky to battle close.

If anyone is up for some practice today?

We found out what the problem was, the tradeable one is the 370Z with the word 'version' in it's title. the one I trie'd was iddentical except for that word, maybe the this should be addapted in the OP.

Thanks Sjaak for providing us with the car.
 
I left the room. Be back later today/tonight

EDIT: is it allowed to do a engine and chassis fix at GT auto?

EDIT 2: main lounge open again

It's right here.
 
Can we use a "borrowed" car? I have the 2012 non-giftable on my non-GTP account.
 
Nope, can't go in an online lobby with it.
I'm in the same boat Phil. That's why I'll run with the tradeable one. :)
 
OK, I'll need a coupon :) Anybody got one for me? Either send me a FR or let me know what account to send one to.
