Steward's Notes:

Let's send GT5 out in style

Good Luck, OLR Team ​

 

[oink83]

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)


Register
​

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 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)

Standard Clean OLR Rules Apply:

• Unless otherwise specified, all rules from the original WRS event apply.
• All Hard Surfaces are considered Track Surface. This includes tarmac, red and white rumbles, and concrete. 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 boot or invalidate the result of any driver from the Race Room for driving offensively. If you ignore any warnings from the stewards and are booted from 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

• 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.

These events are "for fun" so just play nice and take a conservative rather than an aggressive approach when possible.

Ok - two of my races came through from final voting, but none from nomination round

Qualification Procedure: Live Single-Stint Pre-Race Qualifying. How's that is done? Is that 1 timed lap in free run or what?

 

[n0iZe83]

Just registered for all 4 races, can't miss it.
Looking forward to this weekend full of racing 👍

I edited the OP to add "(1 outlap + 2 hotlaps)". 👍

 

[oink83]

I'm down reserve for the lot, but should be able to confirm at least a couple closer to date. This should be awesome!

 

[hasslemoff]

Signed as reserve for the two later in the night events.

 

[Twissy]

Hope to make some of these races, will put myself down as reserve for the moment 👍

 

[Dano20]

Unfortunately guys my ps3 got its 3rd YLOD of the 2 days ago. I have now got a new ps3 my new name is GTP_Dano89 please take GTP_Dano20 of you freinds list thanks will I be able to race

 

[oink83]

Why did you make a new account? Surely just sign in with the old one?

 

[PASM]

I can only make the sunday, even though the TZU TZ2 is a maybe for me. Very much looking forward to it though!

I'm gutted the Nordschleife Dream Combo didn't make it

 

[mohitraina91]

I'm gutted the Nordschleife Dream Combo didn't make it

You and I both buddy .

In for all .

 

[Gravitron]

Updated our database and you are now showing in the tables above. I'll handle the FR's tonight.

 

[Dano20]

Does not matter now

 

[Vagabond]

Can I query the decision to run the GT/BRZ/FRS without tuning? To be quite frank, they're pretty boring stock and even S1 tyres have way too much grip.

 

[Dano20]

Where's all the d4 drivers I won't have anyone to race against

 

[oink83]

Put in lots of practice, and you'll be racing against guys in the upper division!

 

[Doodle]

Updated our database and you are now showing in the tables above. I'll handle the FR's tonight.

And yet my handicap in the database is still much higher than what it actually is. It's not really a big deal though, just wanted to point it out.

 

[Gravitron]

It will be updated soon.

EDIT:

To remove the number of variables, Chris. While the original online race with tuning got rave reviews for great close racing, most of the racers were very familiar with the combo and their chosen tune after running it for a week in the time trial and the pre-race practices. We tested it Tuning Prohibited and felt it would still provide close racing which won't be boring at all. With Very Fast tire/fuel wear, those S1's won't have grip for long.

Personally, having "banned" myself from using the driving line for the last month, finding/remembering brake points for all 4 combos is going to be my biggest hurdle.


EDIT: Also, next week's TT will have plenty of slip, and that will lead directly into these races, so...look forward to that.

 

[Vagabond]

Fair go Lucas 👍 I'm sure the race will be fun anyway.

 

[oink83]

The 3D3 database is separate from the WRS database.

 

[Dano20]

Just in case I can make the Alfa Romeo event can someone send me a ticket or so etching with the car in.
Thanks

 

[Doodle]

The 3D3 database is separate from the WRS database.

Oh. Well I guess that makes sense.

 

[WRP001]

I had to update my registration. I'm in for both Sunday events and on reserve for both Saturday events.

I had to update the NA times for Everybody's Golf... The GMT times is/was correct, but the NA times were off by a bit on the late Saturday event: 22:00 GMT = 2:00 PM Pacific / 5:00 PM Eastern. I'm going to add a "Check Local" link.

 

[n0iZe83]

I would like to do some practice tonight starting from 20:00 GMT in the main lounge.
Some short races would also be nice.

Please feel free to join me, will post when opening the lounge.

1. 20:00 - 21:00 GMT "GT Out of That BRZ Before you FR-S" - Grand Valley Speedway (Short race lap count: 7 - 8 laps)
   
2. 21:00 - 22:00 GMT "Everybody's Golf" - Nürburgring GP/D (Short race lap count: 9 - 10 laps)

Hope to see a few of you tonight 👍

 

[oink83]

Just a reminder for anyone running TZ2, TZU. The car is 10mil so can't be traded, and the ticket for the car can't be traded either. You can win the car from doing the Seasonal event: Classic Car Championship, or buy one of course if you have the 10 mil.
