Stewards Notes
We will be following the special chicane rules from the time trial meaning you must keep all four tires on or inside the rumble at all times. If you cut the chicane during qualifying you will be expected to lift for 2 seconds or the lap time will be disallowed. Repeated and clear abuse of the chicane during the race will result in a 3 second penalty per incident. If you find yourself well over the rumbles during the race you can avoid a post race penalty by letting off the gas on exit for 2 seconds. If there is traffic behind you, you should not lift until after the exit of the chicane, pulling to the left so as not to hold up traffic behind you, but must do so before braking for the next turn (left). Enjoy. 👍

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)

  • 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.
  • Start marker for Monaco is 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.

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.
  • 4 wheels on (or vertically in line with) the track at all times
  • 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
  • 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:

I'm in. 👍 I've had a downturn of form recently and really struggled to find both pace and enthusiasm... Gotta love Monaco though. :cheers:
 
Qualifying is done right before the races? Haven't participated before.

I can definitely do the EU time, not sure about the NA until tomorrow or the day after. Really wouldn't want to risk falling asleep during an online race. I'll register once I know what I'll be doing 100%.

Yes, qualification is at 3:00 pm eastern, and the race starts immediately after that (usually about 15- 20 past the hour).

BTW, you can't use falling asleep as an excuse - some EU drivers race in the middle of the night, even getting up at ridiculous times to make the NA race.
Not saying it's a good idea, but it's worth it :D
 
I'd say as of right now I'm 80-90% sure I'd be able to run both races. This combo was too much fun to not do these races.
 
Nice 👍 Looking forward to seeing you on the track!
The last Monaco race was ton of fun :D
 
Well holy!!
Dale and Chris return for the same week? Sweeet!
Now where has Blair and Lefty run off to..... :lol:

Welcome back guys 👍
 
I should make it for the NA race, although I haven't touched my wheel in 3 days now because of a pretty bad cold... I'll need some serious practice. My car is actually the blue #55 but it's not in the list!

Really? And it's not a Lutecia model?
 
It is indeed missing. The Blue 55 is not on the list and that's the car I've used for the combo as well.
 
OK, I added the #55 - Blue. It was an oversight on my part.
 
Signed up as reserve for the EU race, I hope I can make it in time to go home for the race.

Good luck to everyone! :)
 
Haven't done well in WRS this week but still need more online racing practice - have done a maybe on both the EU and NA. On vacation this week here so the EU race is say a 50/50 while the NA race is a 99/1 chance. 👍
 
I think all the practice I can get in during the two sessions tomorrow will benefit me. I just noticed that the grip reduction will be set to real. Haven't had much experience with that setting. :scared:
 
In my experience, that setting really only affects off-track areas, and there are none here. ;)

If you've done any online racing, you'll know that the grip on tarmac is slightly less than offline, and it only gets worse as the tires fall off. So yes, practice is good. 👍
 
Good, then I won't have to worry so much. Although in my experiences with the karts online, there are a few spots that tend to be trouble spots in terms of upsetting the balance of the cars.

Although, as long as this doesn't happen, I'll be fine.

I've been practising in my lounge, using Kevin's tune with one modification: RH -5/0 and it feels pretty good. I haven't tried yet if a different setting would be even better, any suggestions?

My best lap so far is a 1:42.786 but I didn't spend much time on the TT, so I could probably improve a bit on that still.

I was going to try something similar, probably tomorrow night at this point. I may even run with even ride height, but with the car lower overall.

I had adjusted my brake balance in the TT to 4/8, will probably go with something more like 3/6 for the online race.

If the car is too loose, try taking out some of the negative rear toe, and potentially try moving the center LSD number down some.

Too tight, the opposite could apply.
 
I noticed in the few laps I tried online with the car trying to get a feel for the car online with the usual lower online grip, the car was spinning in Mirabeau Bas when I got caught off guard, and a few minor slides around Nouvelle and Rascasse.
