Stewards Notes
Happy 2nd Anniversary 3D3 Racing!!!

Welcome to 1967. Ferrari's new 330 P4 won The 24 Hours of Daytona 1-2-3 that year, while the proven Ford GT40 Mk II's had to retire
due to gearbox issues. The GT40 Mk IV was then unveiled for Le Mans later that year and won it, with 330 P4's in 2nd and 3rd.
What if the Mk IV had been ready in time for Daytona? Hit the banks hard and rewrite history. ;)

Credit EDK with this fantastic stock combo. 👍

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.

Register​


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 Road Course - Daytona 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.
  • Safe Pit Entry: Drivers must keep all four tires within the white lines on pit road entry and must avoid contact with walls. There is no specific speed limit on entry, but the driver may need to slow significantly in order to stay within the boundaries and avoid wall contact. If the boundaries are crossed or wall contact is made the driver can avoid penalty by lifting off the throttle completely for 2 seconds after the car is released from the pits to "self-penalize" otherwise a penalty will be incurred after the race.
  • At Daytona the system imposes an automatic pit penalty if a driver enters the pit too fast. You're responsible for understanding this limit or risk being held in the pits or if you enter way too fast having the AI drive right past your pit and getting a drive through penalty. Also, if you are going to pit be sure to drop down off the banked section early when approaching your pit, dive bombing from the banked section at the last second is not safe and could incur a penalty at the stewards discretion.
  • Safe Pit Exit: Drivers must keep all four tires within the white lines on pit road exit and cannot cross over to the racing line until after the white line has ended. As always, when exiting pit road the driver is responsible for a safe entry onto the racing line and must "yield" to oncoming traffic. Any incident resulting from an unsafe exit will result in a drive through penalty (30 secs) for the driver exiting the pits.
  • At Daytona drivers must use the small exit road when exiting the pits and may not exit directly into turn 1 or incur a 30 second penalty plus additional infractions if an incident results. See picture below.

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.​

General Guidelines:
  • 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.

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:gtplanet:

Registered. Wouldn't want to miss this milestone event 👍
 
Any plans what does endurance race means? Laps? Race duration?
 
Figure around 60min for the race itself, plus 10-15min for quali.

The word endurance in the title refers more to the car's history, rather than describing the type of race we'll do. 60min is about 5min longer than we normally go each week.

Plus it let me play this trick: 3NDURANC3 :dopey:
 
Signed up for both. EU is always pending work, but hope to make it.

Won't get any practice in the car until Monday so not expecting much in terms of results, but hopefully the draft will let me stick around a bit.
 
We did a 5 lapper after the NA race last night, the high speed drafting will make for some exciting entries into turn 1 and the bus stop.
 
In for EU of course, will find out my work schedule for next week and update, I would like to try and get in on NA as well.
 
Some pics I took of our practice race last night👍

No, but we can send you a '67 ticket and you can "cycle" it until you get the car. Just the other day I got it on the 3rd try. I can't send it for another 12hrs, but until then you can try the one on share from GTP_3D3Racing in offline mode.
 
Ahh damn. I thought I had a ticket for myself, but it turns out I got a level 23, 21, but no level 20, and no '67 either. I might just grind up some credits, shouldnt take long at all.
 
Those are some cool pictures as well! It's such a cool car :)
 
Thanks guys. ;)

That crash at the end was Jon, getting all dirty-NASCAR on me. :lol:
 
Signed up as reserve.Due to a very stupid mistake I erased my save file.
Hope I can get my hands on the car before wednesday...

Were you not able to backup your game from the pre-made Save game backup that GT5 creates for you?

I will send you a '67 ticket. Anyone else need one? I have 2 PS3's and can send from either my account or 3D3.
 
I wouldn't mind one in case Lucas decides to remove it from share meaning I won't be able to finish the TT :lol: but seriously, yeah I would like one if you could. Have been really busy and despite the week or two notice, just didn't get round to getting the car 👍
 
Mika asked first, but I can send to him in about 4hrs.

And the car is staying on share, don't worry. :D

I can send one to Caine (and you send to Mika) unless you already used the 3D3 send for the day?

EDIT: Sent a '67 ticket to both Rikson and Caine. Will be able to send a couple more in about 3 hours.

I allways remove(d) both files before I copy the file from stick to HD.Actually,now you mention it,never tried to only remove the 'last' made file.
Anyway,I've got to start from scratch now.But...in the meantime finally the Ford turned up out of a ticket :)
So I'm in wednesday.
Big thanks to Tim and my buddy Roomboter for multiple tickets
 
Great to see Shane on the signup list! Welcome back.
 
I believe Tim already sent one to anastasis...as long as he can get Internet connectivity for long enough to accept it. Then he can cycle it.
