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.

(table will auto update approximately every 30 minutes)



​

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 take side of track (right or left) that is normally assigned to the pole position on the grid (Fuji = Left).
• 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.
• Start marker for Autumn 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.
• 2 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

Can't turn down a race in these go-karts on steroids. 👍

This will also be the first time I use the pitlane at Autumn Ring in Gran Turismo history.

 

[pilmat]

Deal me in! I'll register tomorrow when I figure out what car I have, but I think it's yellow...

 

[Gravitron]

This one will be a hoot!

Let us know if you need the car gifted.

I call Black #33. Nice photos, Al and Marc! 👍

 

[pilmat]

My garage car is a #9 Dark Yellow, so I put some nice blue metallic wheels on her

​

I've got bob breaking her in, but after a few laps I see the HP has gone up to 308. I'll report back what the final is.

Is it cool to talk about lap times on the Autumn Ring with this car? I did a quick stint to see what she goes like and would be happy to report my findings.

 

[NINE_HUNDRED]

Was a fun car to drive during the Monaco event, looking forward to it 👍

Yep, 307/308HP is the max for this one. It's fine to talk about lap times, but in our practice race we were slowing up almost every lap, so we're not fast yet.

Nice mustard.

I'm not sure if I'll do this race. Depends on whether or not I carve our some practice time. I'll register as a reserve for now. I did just look up my car, and mine is pink. I just bought cars as they came up in the UCD, so I might just have to race to show off my hot pink car.

We're actually looking to collect all the car variations for this model in our 3D3 garage and we're missing pink. We love these cars and will use them occasionally and will distribute the cars to drivers as needed in the future.

If you would dup/gift the pink model to the main 3d3 account (GTP_3D3Racing) that would be awesome and I'll send another livery in return or a car gift ticket if you'd rather.

Also anyone who doesn't have the car, we have a few we can distribute

• #33 - Black
• #66 - White
• #22 - Yellow
• #9 - Dark Yellow

If you need one of the above post to this thread and someone will arrange a gift.

We are looking for the the following to complete the 3D3 garage:

• #99 - Pink
• #3 - Silver
• #5 - Red
• #55 - Blue

Remind me with a PSN message and I will send one of the needed cars tonight. I have pink for sure, and at least one of the others in the Clio.

I don't know how to duplicate thtcar, but I can gift it to you. I don't care which color I get back, as long as it is unmodified (i.e. No mods that can't be undone like N. A. Tune or weight reduction).

I'm actually only 2 cars away from having all the standards, but both are some time away in the UCD. If you are looking for other colors of other cars I can look for you.

Gift it to 3D3 today and I'll dup it myself and send it right back to you. And then after 5:00 PM I'll send you a second one in a different color and a 0/0/0 version at that.

And yes we are looking for the other colors of this car as stated in the post above. If anyone wants to send another we can dup and send it back. Although there is a one gift limit per day so keep that in mind.

Remind me with a PSN message and I will send one of the needed cars tonight. I have pink for sure, and at least one of the others in the Clio.

OK, we'll get the pink from gman, but if you have any of the other colors listed above that would be great. I'll update the list when I receive them.

 

[GTPorsche]

I think I'm one of the few that have the blue Clio.

 

[Allibubba99]

I think I have an extra red one. What is DUP?

[Gravitron]

Duping is where you save your game, exit GT5, back it up to USB, start up GT5, send an item, and then exit again and restore the save from USB, to retain the item you just sent.

GTP_3D3Racing would like to have the blue and red cars, guys.

You should have a pink one now! 👍

Thanks!!!

I have a few business meetings at the moment, but I'll send you back your pink one in a couple hours (or sooner). Do you want me to send you a 2nd color or ticket? If so, please pick one.

It's like giving a gift without paying for it. Naughty boys we are.

 

[AspecBob]

Al, you might already have figured it out by now, but dup is short for duplicate.

I'll have a look tonight if I have any of the colours still missing from the 3D3 garage. Maybe I could get the colours I am missing eventually?

 

[mohitraina91]

I have a red one IIRC. I'll send it over later but ill need a car for the race.

 

[GTPorsche]

Back up save to USB drive.
Enter GT5, send car.
Delete save from PS3.
Take the backup from the USB drive and copy it back to PS3.

You'll still have your car and 3D3 will still get the one they need.

Of course! We consider the 3D3 Racing Garage a community resource. Of course if you are never going to race with us again I'll change my mind.

How 'bout you just drive the regular Clio? Consider it a challenge.

...or, you could join the cool kids and just dup(licate) it. 💡

 

[GTPorsche]

When I get the chance later, I'll dup my blue one over.

You'll just have to change the rims back to stock.

 

[Hydro]

Just remember guys, this is a 'tuning prohibited' event so don't install anything that cannot be removed (chassis reinforcement, etc).

I have several of the cars a well, I can check which ones later so that the trading/sharing can be spread around.

 

[GTPorsche]

One of the special tickets is suppose to put the car back to stock I think. I can't remember if I had put reinforcement onto the car or not.

Edit: Mine doesn't have any added parts and I've bought sports soft tires for it as well.

Edit #2: Sent the #55 Blue to 3D3.

 

[WRP001]

I received (in the 3D3 main account) the blue #55 from Porsche and the Pink #99 from gman. Thanks guys. I've sent back a Pink one to gman. Porsche is there anything I can send you? Ticket or another color of the clio?

Mohit, if you send the red one I can send you back the same or another color... But I've used up my gift for today (until 5:00 PM).

Here's the lineup so far (shared from the 3D3 account):

Once Mohit sends the red we'll only be missing the #3 - Silver.

 

[mohitraina91]

I'll try this duping thing, and send you one tonight, and that way I can keep my car that did me proud in Monaco.
