Rolling Start
When the qualification period is complete, the drivers are placed on the starting grid from fastest to slowest based on their best qualifying lap. The race countdown will start as usual, however, the race will not start when the countdown ends. Instead, the lead driver will start off on a formation lap. All other drivers should hold their original positions on the grid by applying brakes. When it's safe to advance behind the lead driver, the second driver can accelerate and follow. And so on until all drivers are following the car in front of them, in a single file, maintaining their speed, and order. Passing on the formation lap is forbidden. The lead driver will continue around the track at a safe and predictable pace. The hair pin is very tight so the field should spread out before entering that section.
When the lead driver completes the final turn, and starts down the start / finish straight, he is to maintain his speed until the start Marshall gives him the "clear" signal. The start Marshall will give the lead driver the verbal signal once the last clears the final corner and is inline with the other drivers. All other drivers must follow the car in front of them, in a single file, maintaining their speed, and order until the race officially starts. The lead driver may then accelerate to race speed, officially starting the race, at his discretion any time between the "clear" signal and the start/finish line.
There is no passing whatsoever until the lead car has crossed the Start / Finish line, and the race has officially started.Jumping the start, leaving room to accelerate in a slingshot fashion, or any other pre-start technique(s) are strictly forbidden.
Standard Clean OLR Rules Apply:
- Unless otherwise specific all rules from the original WRS event apply.
- Please read, and familiarize yourself with the track boundary guidelines specified in the original WRS event.
- 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
- 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.
If for some reason you are unable to finish the race and need to stop:
- Pull the car over off the track next to a wall and as far from the driving line as possible
- Press the E-Brake
- Then press Start
- This will ghost your car and it won't allow it to interfere with the other drivers.
Overall winner will be sent a prize (to be announced at race time).
Good Luck,

Found my rhythm in my last stint, as I finally got comfortable with the combo and started laying down some nice laps. Was happy to get the fast lap and get the 29 that eluded me during WRS. But I know it was as much a product of my flawed pit strategy as anything.
