GTP WRS-Online : Event 107 : Allibubba99 +1 - September 25

Stewards Notes
Celebrating 100 continuous WRS Time Trial submissions by Al.

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)

Formation Lap

• A steward will exit track, view the live timing monitor and announce the order after qualification while all drivers remain on track.
• All drivers should exit track after the order is announced and enter the pits. When all drivers are in the pits a steward will start the race.
• After the system places you on the grid drivers should proceed into stagger formation in order.
• Pole sitter will choose his/her preferred side of the track.
• There should be no overlap between cars in the staggered formation.
• Speed limit on formation lap is 62 mph / 100 km/h and pole sitter should maintain this speed (or less) to keep pack together, in particular in the final sector.
• 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 Tokyo R246 is the start/finish line.
• The pole sitter should start the race by accelerating to race pace at the identified start marker (track specific and may or may not be the 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.

Pit Entry and Exit Guidelines

• Pits are open and stops are optional, but may be required to complete the race based on fuel consumption and/or tire wear.
• Drivers are responsible for determining their fuel consumption, tire wear and ultimate pit strategy. Discussion of this strategy in the thread is encouraged but not required.
• Be aware that when "Tire Wear/Fuel Consumption" is set to "Fast" or "Very Fast" that the system's fuel add recommendations will be wrong. In this case you need to do your own testing and calculations prior to the race to ensure you add the proper amount of fuel to make it to the end of the race.
• On exit from the pits stay to the pit exit side (usually right side) of the white line if there is oncoming traffic.
• On both pit entry and exit, traffic not entering/exiting the pits must stay to track side (usually left side) of the white lines and are not allowed on the pit entry/exit except to avoid collisions. Drivers cannot follow another driver entering the pits into this area to draft and cannot drive into the area to avoid being drafted if they are not pitting.
• Remember, traffic on course has the right of way after the white line ends. Drivers that cross the line in either direction are responsible for any incidents that occur.

Track Boundary Guidelines


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.
• No hybrids - if you're caught using a hybrid or attempting to enter a hybrid onto the track during an official event you will be banned from all future 3D3 Racing events.
• 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

I signed up for the NA race.

Nice pics Al, I really like that first one.

I do wish I could run this one but not looking likely. Just moved into my new flat, and only just finished getting all the gear sorted out, but still lots of stuff to be done so don't think I'll be able to put in enough time realistically.

I think it is a good move to lower the power, car is twitchy on fresh tires, would have been a real handful on worn tires.

Yeah come on, this is much more fun than GTA V!

Don't know about that

GTA is taking all my time right now
It's just too much fun.

Hope you find a few more drivers, the timeslot is not working for me as usual.

GTA V is pretty cool... and I'm not running this week's WRS as a result of getting it for my B'day. But I'm in for a bit of Zonda bashing.

Jon's doing his part for attracting people... I think I'll be there just to see what his secret colour is!

Is anyone practising tonight? I am about 40 minutes away from getting online

Al

I'll try to join you when I see you online.

be there in about 5 minutes

120L fuel minimum, I'd say. Probably a little more. Al and I are both set on the 2-stopper.

Good luck on Wed.

I did about 18 laps last night. As I was running laps 12 - 18 on original tires, I told myself no way am I trying a one stopper. Even if it is faster to do one stop, I am not skilled enough to keep that car from spinning all over the place on worn tires.

Running late. Be there ASAP

Lounge is open.

I'm just about to have dinner.... I am coming but its a rush job. Hopefully I'll make it in before 8 (GMT) but thought I'd give a heads up.

Please do not enter main lounge.

Al is enabling mics.

Lounge Open.

What the hell? I can't log in to PSN - its saying currently undergoing maintenence...?

bummer

only two of us in the lounge

I'm still trying...

Sorry guys, I said I was going to enable mics last night after practice, then forgot.

On my way...

No EU race this week. Not enough drivers.

I hope its ok, but I opened the lounge.

Yes, that's great, Joe. 👍 Just set the specs right, and maybe verify that if you increase your power limiter beyond 84.0% that it won't let you in (setting HP to 650 and weight to 1070, leave PP limits alone/unset).

As always, I'm on the slow boat/bus home, and may just make it in time.
