Stewards Notes
This car loves to scream at you. It needs a wide open track like this one, with flowing corners. While it's built in Japan, it acts more like a European supercar.

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)

  • 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 Nurburgring GP/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.


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.​

Should be on for this one. Reserve status for the moment, but I should be able to confirm those, it's pink for goodness sake!
 
Come on this one is an awesome combo let's hope we can get at least six people for eu.
Oh and paul your car color is pink isn't it :D.
 
Just waiting on my 3D3 to be accepted and then I will be joining both races.

You should be good to go, you were already in our database, it's just your GTP ID that's changed.
You can hit the Register button below the registration table above anytime now.

If you haven't sent FR's to GTP_3D3Racing, GTP_3D3_A, and GTP_3D3_B by Sunday afternoon, I'll send them from those accounts.

Welcome back! :gtpflag:
 
I just dig my internet connection these days because I can get a chance to make up for those little things online that I can't figure out in the TT by having the chance to go up against the guys who do so well in them. I'm hanging up I-racing and looking forward to the online WRS end of my driving. So it looks like I'm going to be in this venue for quite some time and loving every minute of it 👍

The GT6 stuff online should just be the best, stay strong 3D3 I'm down for the long haul and I hope that we can get started earlier then the offline WRS since the little stuff is so important in that kind of competition.
 
I confirmed for this. This is looking hopeful for 2 officials! :D
 
I'm pretty bummed that I'll probably be stuck in a meeting during the EU race. Maybe I'll feel like setting the alarm for the NA race :lol:👍
 
My ex is currently practicing with my LFA (thank god there's no serious damage on GT :scared:). I'll accept as soon as I put my son to sleep.
 
I am 99 percent sure I can make it.:) Just registered Reserve for NA, because I have had some bad luck with things getting in the way lately.:irked:
 
I'm going to try to be around for EU practice and if no one shows up I'll be running a fuel / tire run for NA
 
Entering main lounge after oil change, i'll set it up. I'll update post when it's set up.
 
If your that slow on track tomorrow, I won't have to worry about you! :D

haha, got in just as you messaged, so I'm already in the lounge.
 
Here's that video I was talking about. I recomend everyone that has a wheel to at least watch it.
 
FYI - somehow when I took my car online it restored my tires to S1'z so if you feel like your driving on ice you might want to check your tire compound :dunce:

I'll be there for NA practice (with the proper tires). I hope someone else shows up :lol:

Haha, yeh I know what you mean. Not easy whatsoever. I'm not gunna be in for NA practice probably, but thanks to guys in earlier, good run.
 
Just did some practice laps and they agree with @hasslemoff's testing, 6.6L per lap, so somewhere between 70 and 80L need to be added over the course of your pitstops.

2-stopper for me, although the 1-stopper seems tempting...:mischievous:
