Stewards Notes
Beware of daylight savings time and use the links above to double check the start time in your time zone! Based on driver response (we went with the majority) we're "sticking" the EU time slot to GMT time until EU summertime begins and we're "sticking" the NA time slot with the majority of North America which means it moves relative to GMT due to Daylight Savings Time.

[Gravitron]

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)

• Pole sitter will choose his/her preferred side of the track.

• 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.
• 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.
• 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

Allibubba-01 : Harder to See

After each Wednesday event we're going to give drivers 48 hours to submit race pictures for our "Picture of the Week" contest (submission deadline is Friday @ 8:00 PM Pacific).

Submit your pictures by simply posting to this thread after the event and before the deadline. Please provide a short name for each of your submitted pictures which will be used in voting. e.g. "WRP001-1 : Lap 1/Turn 1", "WRP001-2 : The Crash", etc. All posted pictures will be copied to the showroom post by an admin in the order posted.

Rules:

• The deadline for submission is Friday @ 8:00 PM Pacific.
• Each entrant can submit one to three pictures each week.
• The entrant need not be a participant in the race (if they can get their hands on an official replay they can submit).
• All content from the picture must come from one or both of the official event replays (EU and/or NA).
• The pictures can be "photoshopped" or post processed in any way or can be straight from GT5 (montages are accepted).
• You can put your tag/initials or a small stamp on the pictures, but keep it discrete.

Once the submission deadline has passed there will be a 48 hour voting period (ending 8:00 PM Pacific on Sunday). The winning picture will become the title picture for the thread and potentially the historical results thread.

Lovely stuff. Signed up.

 

[mcfizzle]

Signed up as a reserve. I'm hoping to race but my wife and I adopted a Beagle this weekend and I'm alone while she is in Germany. It is a lot of work and I'm not sure yet if he can handle an hour or more without me there to take him potty or stop him from chewing things.

 

[WRP001]

Anyone have one of these fully broken in they can send me? If not, I'll get my Bob on it right away.... I forgot to break one in and I had a few minutes to finally drive it and now I have to let Bob drive. Need a good testing session to finalize the specs of this event.

Give me 5 ,I will send the car right away.

 

[WRP001]

Thank you sir! Received and off to do some testing. 👍

 

[oink83]

Just breaking my own in now.

 

[oink83]

With full breakin, its 199hp? Iv drivin like 200+ miles and its only 173 with the oil change. Am I missing something here?

 

[WRP001]

I think there is a mistake in the thread... comparing it to the TT...

Intake and Exhaust modifications should be allowed. I'll make the edit.

EDIT: Fixed. Check your specs versus the new details and you should be at 199 HP.

Cheers Tim, yes that was it. With the parts noted there, I'm now at 199hp, 980kg, and max aero brings me to 443PP.

 

[WRP001]

I've updated the race settings: 32 race laps (+1 formation) and FAST tire wear/fuel consumption.

Nobody will need to add fuel as this thing runs green... only 2.25L/lap and that's on Fast fuel consumption. Therefore it's possible to make it without a single stop, but I highly doubt that will be the best strategy.

 

[Strop]

Anybody able to gift me a car. I'm a bit skint after the PS3 crash last week and I'm starting afresh on the other PS3 with $20K. Nothing in the garage but Aventadors and Jaguar Race Cars which I can't sell :-( Shipping box for the older PS3 is due tomorrow so will likely be another few weeks before I have my regular setup back.

P.S. I remember vaguely there were races that were good for fast money if you had a decent car to run, if anyone can suggest one of those I'll try working for a living :-)

 

[Tidgney]

I've signed up although I will say my tuning skills are somewhat..... Limited ! Should be fun though, and twissy stole my yellow ;p! First time I'm not racing in yellow in a long while!

 

[Twissy]

Thats ok Tidgney, you can have the yellow, I only put yellow as thats the colour currently on the car. I'm going to change it before the event and update on the registration.

 

[Tidgney]

O don't worry mate, I was only playing ! It's just a colour, I'm looking forward to the racing !

I sent you a car. Feel free to use the paint (DLC chrome) as I'm using something different (orange, since Barts not running). Comes with EDK tune already applied.

The Lambo 550 PP seasonal at Toscana can be a quick money earner with the bonus... I have a Gallardo LP 560-4 '08 set up for that race and shared at 475PP that will get a pretty big payout... even if you increase the PP to 500 the payout is pretty big and it's winnable down to 460 PP, but gets more risky as you drop power. Send me a FR, borrow the car and give it a shot.

I've signed up although I will say my tuning skills are somewhat..... Limited ! Should be fun though, and twissy stole my yellow ;p! First time I'm not racing in yellow in a long while!

There are a couple tunes linked in the details post... they are both from very good tuners and you won't have to change them much if at all to be competitive. I'm using EDK's for now and having tried Vagabond's yet.


After driving the RUF at GP/F this thing is certainly a different animal. More of a kitten really. Should be some close racing though.

 

[BanditKarter22]

I've signed up for this, should be good close racing with this car

Remember to check out my lap guide for some extra tips

Haha, fine the Sunshine Yellow is mine

 

[WRP001]

The registration form and registration images had some errors in the times for the events for certain time zones due to daylight savings changes. The OP was and is correct and I've just corrected the registration docs.

Thanks for the vid. I learned a ton

 

[Sjaak]

Practice lounge is open

 

[hasslemoff]

So much for me not having time to get on GT5 for a few weeks

To good to miss, i've signed up for the EU race tomorrow.

 

[Jump_Ace]

Signed up for the race tomorrow Can't wait to see how fast everyone else is now, especially since I didn't do week 109, haha.

I would like to say for sure I'll attend, but I'm getting my new CNT racing seat tomorrow. But UPS is kinda unreliable with their delivery windows to my house, sometimes I get packages at close to 9pm, sometimes at about 5pm. But I think even if it arrives, I'll still race as it will take a while to assemble.

Jerome,

I registered you in our 3D3 drive database so our automated registration system would recognize you... you should show up during the next image update. I'll also send you FR from the 3d3 lounges shortly and you'll have to accept those before you can join.

[Jump_Ace]

Sounds good buddy, thanks.
