Stewards Notes

You can hate the tires, but they are going to hate you back.

These are the stock tires on the car, with the perfect balance of slip and grip. It's a very balanced ride, and it will be tricky to get everything out of it. Have fun!

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)

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 Autumn Ring 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.
  • At Autumn ring the pit entry speed limit will be set to 100 KPH / 62 MPH. Exceed this speed and the system may cause you to understeer into grass and cost you time.


Track Boundary Guidelines
Drivers are expected to do their best to stay within track boundaries per the OLR. Mistakes happens over the course of a long race and the random off or two will be overlooked in most instances, but if a pattern of boundary abuse is observed penalties will be handed out which include 15 seconds for a "minor" pattern of abuse, 30 seconds for a "substantial" pattern of abuse, and a DQ for "complete disregard" of track boundaries. In cases where penalties may not impact the driver (e.g. DC), the penalty may be carried over to the next event and may be applied as a 5 (minor) or 10 (major) grid spot penalty.

It's up to the admins' discretion exactly what qualifies as "minor", "substantial" or "complete disregard". Going outside the rumble by a centimeter isn't as serious as a car length wide excursions into the run off area. Factors such as dirty air and traffic also come into play. If you find yourself going wide then the next lap you're expected to slow down a bit more to make sure you stay within boundaries. If you make the same mistake multiple times and you want to avoid a penalty you can always self-penalize during the race by lifting for a very brief period upon returning to the track. Continuing to hammer the throttle after repeated boundary overruns may very well end with a post race penalty.​

Good Luck, OLR Team:gtplanet:

+1 👍

Is there a hidden Stig this week?
Click to expand...

He's wearing his normal clothes today. So if you know what he looks like under the helmet, you can probably see him in one of the crowd sections in amongst the other members of the crowd at autumn ring ;)
 
Probably gonna join eu for this i'll see if you guys see me at practice i'll be in.
 
Signed up as reserve, not sure if I will be back in time and Ive not even got the car broke in or ran any laps yet :).
 
Looking very lonely for EU. I've been pretty darn sick since about friday, so stopped running the TT and have basically half hours practice, and not sure how much more I will get. I'll come along for EU for numbers if it is just on the edge for an official race. If it somehow makes over 6 then I might sit out and give my attention to next week.
 
I am working for the EU time slot. On reserve for the NA time slot. I am about 50/50 at the moment.

Al
 
Going in for some practice.

EDIT: Done.

4.3 L/lap, looks like it's 1 stop or 2 stops.

Probably not going to make it in now :ouch:

Was doing a few things and just looked at the time and realised I still haven't eaten anything this evening yet.

Edit: Ahh to hell with food, coming in! :D
 
Looks like I'm in for one if not two, I'll keep an eye on the EU and if they need another dead body then "Lefty to the Rescue" :lol"

----------- "Later that same day :lol:" ------------------------

"What no one wants to practice?".......... I'll be blazing up some laps if anyone wants to trade some paint :)

I registered, hopefully I don't have the lagging issue I did last week. If anyone sees my car lagging let me know and I will leave quickly. I just ran quite a few laps with Lefty and no issues. I am hoping last week was a fluke, as ithat was the first race that has happened to me.
 
I'll be doing a short bit of practice tonight, probably 1.5hrs from now.
 
I might join you Lucas. :D Need to get used to the online physics again and see what kind of race pace I can run.

Sorry, still checking your replay. :P Cut it close, why don't you. :ill:
I'll join in 15min tops, regardless if you're still there.
 
Alright, it's clean. I'll post it after practice. Crazy lap, man. :drool:

:lol: Yeah, I had to throw away a lot of really good laps, mostly 30.0's, because of that particular part of sector 1 :grumpy:
