Stewards Notes
Steward's Comments:
This car has been highly requested for a WRS combo for a long time now. I (EDK) tested a few locations, and I think the wide sweeping nature of Indy Road suits the nature of the car quite well. This should make for a great Time Trial and a fantastic online race.

****Again this week beware of daylight savings time and use the links above to double check the start time in your time zone!

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)

  • 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 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 62 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 The Road Course - Indianapolis 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 by 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 (too low)... you need to do your own calculations prior to the race to ensure you don't run out of fuel prior to the end of the race.
  • On exit from the pits stay to the far right (right of the white line) if there is oncoming traffic. Oncoming traffic must stay left of this line and are not allowed on the pit exit except for accident avoidance.
  • Remember, traffic on course has the right of way after the white line ends. If you cross the line in either direction you 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. We understand that mistakes happens over the course of a long race and the random off or two will be overlooked in most instances, but if we observe a pattern of boundary abuse we will hand out penalties 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.

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.​

General Guidelines:
  • 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.

Track Specific Guidelines:


The Following Areas are Not Part of the Track


RoadCourse-Indy_5.jpg


The Concrete and Painted Concrete Surface Outside the Rumble Strip at Turn 7 (Trackside Left)

RoadCourse-Indy_6.jpg


Concrete Outside of the White Boundary Line on the Straight between Turns 7 and 8 (Trackside Left)

RoadCourse-Indy_7.jpg


Concrete Inside the Rumble Strip at Turn 8 (Trackside Left)

Concrete Inside the Rumble Strip at Turn 11 (Trackside Right)​




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.
  • No hybrids - if you're caught using a hybrid or attempting to enter a hybrid onto the track during an official event you will be banned from all future 3D3 Racing events.
  • 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:

Car looks mean as hell! The front looks like a Transformer or something :D That matte black one is awful sexy, its got some nice carbon fibre bits on it which the other colours don't seem to have. Defo picking that one! hehe
 
Oouh yess i like the car and love the track, reminds me on formula 1 races in the past, i hope i have not to work.. this could be a happy wednesday :sly:

@Oink thanks for streaming its very cool to have a closer look at the process of the race over the period of a hour and particularly the strategy, helps to get the feel how to adjust fuel for the race and not to (unhappy) end up like ealirendur :))

This car looks pretty mean :scared:

Just signed up for this as a reserve. See you for practice on Tuesday.
 
I can say the car is awesome to drive on the track, the traction is good and it´s solid in the turns, besides i have some splits to share:

25.280 S1
23.683 S2

:gtplanet:
 
I'll be out this week meaning in the NA race :-) After spending an ungodly amount of time to rank 28th out of 39 in the time trial I wouldn't miss another chance to see you all disappear in the distance. Going white this week, just think lumbering Polar bear hunting you from afar ...
 
Confirmed for EU and the probability of making the NA race went up to at least 50%, but sticking to reserve for that one for now as the timing is a bit out of my control.

Nice, been a bit since we saw you on the track. Since I haven't been at the wheel for about 4 days I haven't practiced the combo yet at all...but maybe this is my chance ;)
 
Did some races with this combo togheter with Koen and Stef last weekend, even if we were with only 3 of us, these races where very close and so much fun !!! Found out that the better and quickest part of track was sector 3&4 for me, I was always able to close the gap here...

Looking forward to the practise race and the main event !!! :)
 
Hi all! :)

Are there any chances, at least in the future, for the European time slot to be earlier, at 17:00GMT? :guilty: :grumpy:

Chance = 0%

The time slots are pretty much set in stone at this point and move only with daylight savings.

PS> Fuel consumption is looking like 4.5 per lap on fast.

Lol. Unfortunate, but I can see why. I'm actually pretty lucky in that it fits almost perfectly around my work schedule :)
 
Was expecting this to be an easy 1 stopper, but I just ran a whole stint, and the tyres drop off like crazy on this thing. Or maybe it's just how I'm driving it.
 
I've got my live stream setup on my 2nd PS3 and it works now that there is a newer version of xsplit that took care of issues I had last time.

I'm planning to stream just the leader board from practice today. The goal is to make it a supplementary feed (to oink's main feed which will show on track action from his POV). My feed will have sound disabled and the idea is you can have it in a window beside oink's main feed if you want to see the full map and/or splits/etc..

Today is a beta test for practice so I can see how it works and if it impacts my main PS3 as far as lag and/or connection problems.

http://www.twitch.tv/3d3racing

The feed won't go live until the start of practice.
