GTP WRS-Online : Event 112 : Super-Cali-Fuji-Listic - October 30

Stewards Notes
Fuji Speedway may be owned by Toyota Motor Corporation, but we're spearheading a virtual Nissan invasion this week. The Calsonic has been used in several arcade mode events, but never with tuning which can bring these GT-Rs to life. Tune out the "stock" under steer and you are in for a real treat this week! All four models drive close to identical so pick your favorite team/livery and hit the track.

If you use one of the models requiring ballast be sure to check the ballast is on and at position 0 if you switch tuning sheets. Any submissions without the required weight will be DQ'd.

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 60 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 Fuji Speedway F 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.

Good Luck, OLR Team

I'm down wit dis

I'm in!

I didn't really like the time trial, but the race should be much better. I'm a reserve in both for now until I get an idea of my schedule.

I hope to make both of these this week!!!!

Al

Going in for a little practice. Very unsure whether I'll make it Wed, so probably won't practice too long.

EDIT: Out already. High 1'37's on full fuel, and about 3L/lap.

Lefty and I are practicing in the main lounge

Edit: best lap 1'36.7

I'm in

I see you filled out the Driver Information google form, and I've added to you our DB.

Make sure to also click on the Register Here button in the 2nd post, to indicate which race (EU or NA or both) you will be taking part in.

Also send PSN FR's to GTP_3D3Racing, GTP_3D3_A, and GTP_3D3_B and I can accept them in about 6hrs.

NOTE: We didn't consider the Daylight savings time change for EU, so the few of you who are racing then should decide what time you want to start.

NA race will stay put since we don't change back to Standard time until this coming weekend.

Just did a long run. I reached 25 laps on one set of tires. Fuel consumption was 66 litres, so 2.64 litres per lap. Best lap 1'36.5xx.

Does the transmission trick really take of time from the laps?

Yes, it's usually worth a few tenths. Vagabond's tune (linked under Example Tunes in post 3) employs the tranny trick.

I just tested it, because I never did before myself. I went to the Speed Test with an standard Motul Autech GT-R with full downforce and default transmission. Then I copied that setup to have an identical car, but with the tranny trick. The result is that it is equally fast from 0-100 km/h but the tranny trick is 0.150 s faster from 100-200 km/h, the speeds that are very important during the lap.

Edit: Forgot to mention the essential fact that both transmissions were set to the same top speed; that of the default 316 km/h

Your friend requests have been accepted.

0.150? I could actually shave a second off my bloody time? Is there just one method for the transmission set?

If you do Vagabond's method, which is a common method, but there are others:

1. Reset to default
2. Final gear to far right
3. Max speed to far left
4. Set inidividual ratios (usually 1st gear goes far left and top gear goes far right)
5. Set final gear to indicated value

NOTE:

Al is the only steward that can make the EU race. If 5 other guys can show up and make it official, I would suggest delaying the race to 20:00 GMT as this will increase the chance that Al can make it, as well as keep the race at the same time of night for EU racers (due to recent daylight savings ending).

Delaying the race to 20:00 GMT will be better for me too.

Actually vagabonds gears are:

Too speed min
Then set the gears
Then top gear to 2.200

You don't do the max right thing


Edit:

Just did a full race run, there will be no need to add fuel as there's more than enough for 32 laps.
I'm using the same tune I used in the time trial which is Chris' with a few tweaks including my own gear box.

Average lap time: 1'37.4xx
Fastest time: 1'36.506

Tyre wear is pretty even and pretty good, although the rear spins easier after about 12-15 laps on the tyre.

I may join tonight but not very likely, so if I don't good luck guys.

Here's my changes to Chris' tune

Height -15/-15
Springs 20/18
Dampers 9/6 (both)
ARB 7/7

LSD 5/12/5

Brakes 6/7

Gears

Final gear to 3.200
Max speed 200

Then

4.806
3.676
2.963
2.470
2.091
1.788

Then Final Gear to 2.000

Just registered in the Yellowhat for tonight.

I'll be around to fill in for the EU

I'll go fix the EU countdown timer for 20:00 GMT, which means that the race isn't starting for another 1hr15min from now.

I'll do some more testing before I decide to make any changes. The NA lobby opens at 10 est?

No, 10pm EDT is when NA quali starts (with the race immediately following). It will be opened up to 1 hour before that for pre-race practice.

I'll have to pull out guys, have an early morning meeting so can't stay up for the race. Good luck

We still need 2 more drivers, we are scheduled to start in 5 minutes
