  • Groups: Group qualifying will be used if the grid size is large enough to warrant in order to avoid traffic during qualification.
  • Notes: Drivers not in the lounge by the time the first driver has entered the track after reset will not be allowed to qualify. They are welcome to join the race, but will start at the back of the grid. If we are running multiple qualification groups and the driver enters before the last group has entered track an exception will be made.

  • Aero: All allowed
  • Tire Restrictions: See above
  • Skid Recovery Force | Active Steering | ASM: Disabled
  • TCS | Driving Line | ABS: Optional

Formation Lap

  • A steward will exit track, view the live timing monitor and announce the order after qualification (assuming live qualification).
  • 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 take side of track that the grid places them on (assuming grid placement is correct).
  • There should be no overlap between cars in the staggered formation.
  • Speed limit on formation lap is 63 mph / 100 kph 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.
  • 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).
  • Start marker for Grand Valley East is TBD.
  • Pole sitter can accelerate to race pace at the start marker and 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.

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.
  • 2 wheels on (or vertically in line with) the track at all times
  • Rumble/ripple strips are part of the track
  • Runoff areas are not part of the track
  • Limit your contact with walls or objects, visible or invisible
  • No hybrids
  • 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:

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.

Yea but this is an offline tune. I think online and offline physics are different. I don't know if his tune works for online races. But thanx anyway, i'll try ;)
 
For now reserve EU race.

Hope to join of course:).

No kidding, I tried the off line set up online with disastrous results. You just reminded me about getting this fixed up before Wednesday!

+1

Just tried a practice run with offline tune I used and I couldn't even get it round the first corner. The front left seems to take a hammering
 
Does anyone have an online tune? During the time trials I was able to run high 1'02s consistenly. Now I cant even break the 1'02 mark. :s
 
For the practice today the usual suspects will not be setting up the lounge so hopefully someone can take the reigns. Speedy is away and I'm projected to be on business calls all day and unlikely to be able to attend the practice until late in the afternoon.

Whoever does get around to opening and setting up the lounge to this event's specs please post to this thread when the room is open for people to join.

Thanks.
 
Tim,room is set,I will jump in now and then.
Trying to find a online set up for the race.
 
Switching to reserve for NA, as I'm not sure I can make it now. :( Although I did buy and break-in a new Benz last night, since I "ruined" my other one with Chassis Reinforcement. :lol: I never get along well with that "upgrade".
 
Got myself a tune which gives me 04.5 laps,not fast but consistent.

With new cars (from the premium dealership and some standard models you get as prizes for events) you have to drive them a certain distance before they achieve their full potential as far as power. Cars purchased from the OCD do not require this break in. Many drivers here hand the car over to a B-spec driver to run these miles, others prefer to do it themselves.

Note that almost all offline events add miles that count toward this break-in, but free run practice online does not.
 
Going to call it a night guys, so don't wait for me to start a race. The game is being quite laggy tonight.

A little under 200 mi or about 300 km. My trick is always to let my B-spec driver run the Indy 500 and then half way through I pull him out. Even if you quit half way the miles count.
 
I had to cancel my registration for EU time. Still as a reserve for N/A time. Anyway, I'll be always as reserve for N/A time in all event cause i'll be able to race only if...i don't sleep lol ;)

There are a couple of us in 3d3 Racing Main. Anyone else coming?

Sorry we missed you. 5-8:30 PM pacific is a bad time for me most nights. I'm in the "B" lounge practicing now as the main lounge is being used for Laguna.
 
Oh I was about to sign up as a reserve for EU but just remembered that Bayern v Real match is tonight :(
