Virtual Reality Racing made its humble beginnings on Gran Turismo 6, running series like Super GT, the Subaru Touring Car Championship, and one off endurance events. With Super GT nowhere to be seen, and the Subaru BRZ no where either, we are doing something else we know what to do, which is waste a few hours on a Saturday running laps in GT3 machinery. We hope you come and waste your time with us. It's surely better than drinking, after all!

VRR Regulations​
1.1. All drivers competing in the series must inform the series director of those intentions, detailing the car number they wish to use, as well as which car they wish to compete with.
1.1.1. Numbers 1 and 2 are reserved for class champions.
1.2. Once drivers have been registered, they will have to take a placement test, which will determine which class they are racing in for the season.
1.3. All drivers must be a part of a team, either as an owner/driver or as a driver.
1.3.1. Team names must be original. Teams are limited to two per class.
2.1. Liveries featuring sponsorship from tobacco companies, or pornographic materials will be prohibited. Drivers that enter events in violation will be immediately suspended.
2.2. Political liveries will not be tolerated. VRR is a neutral zone. Drivers will be given one warning if their liveries are found to be in violation of this. After that one warning, they will receive a one race suspension.
2.3. Drivers competing in GT3 Pro will be required to run with clear headlight covers, black windshield banners, and black number panels (option #4).
2.4. Drivers competing in GT3 Am will be required to run with yellow headlight covers, white windshield banners, and white number panels (option #3).
2.5. TAG Heuer sponsorship must be placed above the number panel on both sides of the car.
2.6. All drivers are limited to two liveries. Both liveries must use the primary sponsor.
2.6.1. Minor adjustments can be made to liveries without them being considered separate liveries. Color changes affecting more than 40% of the car, or major sponsorship decal adjustment will count as a separate livery. Drivers that overuse the amount of allowed liveries will receive a 5 point penalty per extra livery beyond the first two.
3.1. The field will be split into two classes. GT3 Pro and GT3 Am. A placement test will be required before a driver can enter an event. 7 GT3 Pro cars will be allowed to race in each event, while 8 GT3 Am cars will race in each event.
3.2. Drivers that miss the preseason placement test, as well as the first points race of the season will automatically be placed in GT3 Am unless decided otherwise by series officials.
4.1. VRR is a clean racing environment. Rough, but fair competition is expected. Accidents will be reviewed after each race and post race penalties may be assessed.
4.2. Drivers must be aware of their surroundings at all times in a multiclass environment. Drivers in the faster class will be expected to drive cleaner and use patience with their overtakes.
4.3. Drivers attempting to lap cars will need to use flashing lights as well as patience in passing.
4.4. Drivers being lapped do not have to pull off of the racing line, but must maintain a constant line until after they have been cleared by the passing car.
4.5. Drivers that have been lapped cannot fight to regain that lap unless they are engaged in a battle for direct position on track.
4.6. The racing surface is determined to be the asphalt/concrete which contains the racing line. Curbstones, rumble strips, sausage curbing, and astroturf do not count as part of the racing surface.
4.6.1. Penalties will be assessed based on if drivers gain an advantage by abusing track limits by either cutting the insides of corners or by using the outside boundaries on corners and corner exits.
4.6.2. Some corners will be given leniency to the ruling based on difficulty to adhere to the initial rule or how confined the track surface is in that specific corner.
4.6.2.1. Dragon Trail-Seaside--Turns 10-13 (Bus Stop) permits using the curbing as track surface.
4.6.2.2. Nurburgring GP Strecke--Turn 4 (Mercedes Arena Exit), turns 8-9 (Michael Schumacher S). turns 13-14 (NGK Chicane) permits using curbing as track surface.
4.6.2.3. Nurburgring 24H--Turn 2 (Yokohama S exit) permits ability to run wide.
4.6.2.4. Autodromo Nazionale Monza--Turns 1-2 (Rettifilo Chicane), turns 4-5 (Roggia Chicane), turns 8-10 (Ascari Chicane) permits using the striped curbing as track surface.
4.7. Pit entry and exit lines are to be respected at all times. Drivers that are found to cross the solid lines entering or exiting pit lane will receive a 10 second post race time penalty.
4.8. Passing under yellow flag conditions is prohibited. Drivers that pass under a local yellow and do not give the position back will be handed a 30 second post race time penalty.
4.9. Drivers that prematurely leave a race once will be given a disciplinary warning for the first offense. The second time a driver leaves a race before the finish, the driver will be suspended for one race. The third time a driver leave a race early, they will not be permitted to continue the season in any capacity.
4.10. Drivers vying to defend a position on track are allowed one defensive move as a proactive measure. Making a defensive move as a reactive measure will earn a warning/penalty. This includes weaving back and forth across the racing surface.
5.1. Race lobbies will open at 4:00 p.m. Eastern U.S. time to allow for a 30 minute qualifying session. Once the session has expired, the race director will inform everyone to finish their laps and park in a designated parc ferme location while the qualifying order is taken.
5.2. Once qualifying results have been determined, the race will proceed, and the field will embark on a formation lap at 62 miles per hour/100 kilometers per hour to put everyone in their correct positions.
5.2.1. The field will proceed to run the formation lap single file, keeping 5 car lengths between cars. Everyone will then line up and park in their respective grid stalls before the start/line and wait until the selected total time (5 minutes unless specified before the race).
5.2.2. Cars that are damaged on the formation lap will pull out of line, drop to the rear, and park behind the grid to wait to enter pit lane to repair damage.
5.2.3. In case of a lobby specific issue, such as a driver stuck in auto-drive, or a driver incurring dangerous latency, one abandon start may be used per lobby. Drivers affected will be instructed to restart their systems and/or internet connections and rejoin without losing their grid spot. If issues persist, the driver(s) in question may back out of the event without punishment.
5.3. Due to the nature of the racing, full course cautions are to be limited to serious issues, such as a mass disconnection, massive accident, or another emergency.
6.1. The driver that finishes a race first in their class will earn 25 points.
6.2. The driver that finishes a race second in their class will earn 18 points.

7.1. The room mode for TAG Heuer Endurance Championship events will be set to "Practice/Race".
7.2. Lobbies will be clearly coded for understanding. Each lobby will include the round number and which lobby it is. For example, lobby one for the first round would have the room title "VRR THEC R01 Lobby 1".
7.3. Laps will be specifically set to include the scheduled race distance publicly displayed as well as an additional lap for formation lap. An example of this would be the event at Dragon Trail having a scheduled distance of 61 laps, while the race lobby will be scheduled for 62 laps to include the formation lap.
7.4. The starting procedure for each event will be a standing start so all drivers have the ability to see their grid stall before the actual race start.

I’ll be in the Corvette (not today, though, I won’t be there).
 
I'll see if this is a possibility for me, but given my horrific work schedule nothing is guaranteed.

If it does work out... no idea what I'd like to use since the Evo does not seem to be an option.

A lot of cars were removed due to the fact that the BoP doesn't sit in their favor. The Evo is one of those cars that just didn't fit.

I'll give it a shot. Should be available for it

Added to the list. I will stress that you aren't required to make every race. Just let me know before hand if you can't make it. Welcome to VRR.

I will ask everyone to read through the rules in the OP, however, just because it's been a work in progress since the thread opened. More stuff will be added, but the basics are ready for you all to read.
 
I would like to register in the Mercedes AMG GT3 please. The rest of my information should already be forwarded.

Was registered last night. 👍
 
The GT-R has a big problem that I'm going to need to cure if I'm going to use it... the front end lifting off the ground over crests. On the Nurburgring I knew to expect it, but it actually gave me a time penalty for having it lift off far enough.

On Maggiore, it does it too (but not as bad as the Nurb.) If anyone's got some tuning setup advice to cure it, let me know. I'll be doing my own fact-finding all the while.
 
With the exception of the Placement Test, I should (hopefully) be able to compete in all the races here without any issues regarding work.

Holy crap everyone, 13 confirmed entries and one waiting on a car number already. This is awesome!
 
Already got the test livery going 👍
