World Tour Points System
Points will be awarded to a driver for each race in the tour that they participate in. There will be an official winner of each stop in the tour plus an overall tour champion.
The points earned for each of the four individual races will depend on the number of drivers that start that race. The last place driver gets 1 point and points increase by 1 for every position forward. In addition the top finishers in each race get "podium" bonus points: 4 points for first, 2 points for 2nd and 1 point for 3rd. This point system spans across multiple lounges if necessary. For example if there are 22 drivers that start a race (11 in A + 11 in B) points will be awarded as follows:
A1 : 22 + 4 = 26
A2 : 21 + 2 = 24
A3 : 20 + 1 = 21
A4 : 19
A5 : 18
A6 : 17
A7 : 16
A8 : 15
A9 : 14
A10 : 13
A11 : 12
B1 : 11 + 4 = 15
B2 : 10 + 2 = 12
B3 : 9 + 1 = 10
B4 : 8
B5 : 7
B6 : 6
B7 : 5
B8 : 4
B9 : 3
B10 : 2
B11 : 1
Finally, there are bonus points for completing individual races. Any driver who completes 80% of the laps in any single race is awarded 5 bonus points per race. An additional 5 bonus points are awarded for drivers that complete 80% of
all four races on the tour. These bonus points pretty much guarantee that the winner of the overall tour will be required to participate in all four races.

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.
- 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.
Qualification Details:
Qualifying for each stop in the world tour will be independent and consist of pre-arranged observed qualifying races. The first combo in each stop will be used for qualification. The top qualifying drivers from each stop will participate in the "A" race. Drivers who do not make the cutoff will serve as reserves for "A" and participate in a "B" race (assuming there are enough drivers to race in a second lounge). Drivers who do not qualify (or very late registrations) are still welcome to participate, but will start at the back of the grid (and room B potentially) based on their current registry handicap.
Qualification times will not be published until the qualification window closes for that stop. Drivers are allowed to share their own quali times via PM or other private communications and others can observe their runs with permission from the driver, but qualification lap times or any information that be used to derive quali lap times should not be posted/discussed in the thread.
Drivers can arrange qualification sessions with an approved steward at any time during the qualifying window . All qualifying sessions will require a steward to set up the lounge to proper specs and will consist of short "races" which are observed and verified by stewards and other drivers. Standard WRS track rules are in effect during these races and any infractions will be penalized a minimum of 2 seconds per incident unless it is beyond a reasonable doubt that the "infraction" had a negative impact on the lap time. Each driver can attempt qualifying for each tour stop only once (one shot per combo).
Qualifying Race Procedure
- A race steward will set up the lounge to the proper specs for the class.
- The driver will be given an out lap and a single hot lap in free run for a final warm up if desired (Drivers should come to the session already warmed up and prepared).
- After the completion of the practice hot lap the race timer will be started.
- The qualifying steward and any other observers will monitor the race live to validate the run and save a replay in case of any protest.
- The qualifying races will consist of 4 laps: 1 un-timed out-lap + 2 timed hot-laps + 1 un-timed in-lap.
- When the driver finishes the final hot lap he should slow down and park on track before finishing the in-lap.
- Lap times and any infractions will be noted and announced by the steward.
- When the driver and steward are in agreement on the recorded net lap times the driver can exit the track.
Qualifying Time
- The drivers single best hot lap will determine his starting position on the grid.
- Any driver that demonstrates in qualification or practice sessions that he cannot keep the car in control and on the track consistently or maintain a reasonable pace will not be allowed to participate in the race. The stewards and event organizers will make that call if it is deemed necessary.
Miscellaneous
- Any disagreement over infractions will be handled via replay review.
- If a driver disconnects before finishing his first hot lap he can return to re-run a qualifying race.
- Any lap completed (and time noted by steward) prior to DC will be counted and the lap count reduced for the 2nd attempt.
- A driver will not be allowed to rerun a qualification lap if he DCs after damage occurs to the car in the lap, but he can rerun subsequent laps.

Scheduling a Qualifying Session
Drivers should post to the thread requesting a steward to observe their qualifying run and the day/times you would be available. To maximize the chance of making a match with a steward please provide a few times and give a bit of up front notice. Stewards may also post that they have qualifying rooms ready in case anyone is ready to qualify. During those steward prompted sessions the lounge will be set up for free run practice until someone is ready to qualify. Drivers are welcome to practice during these sessions and observe others qualification runs. All qualifying runs must take place in private lounges (not public lobbies).
Good Luck, OLR Team
Still a chance the timing may allow for my participation, but looking doubtful.
