• A steward will exit track, view the live timing monitor and announce the order after qualification (assuming live qualification).

• After the system places you on the grid drivers should proceed into stagger formation in order.
• Pole sitter will take side of track that the grid places them on (assuming grid placement is correct).
• There should be no overlap between cars in the staggered formation.
• Speed limit on formation lap is 63 mph / 100 kph 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.
• 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).
• Start marker for Grand Valley East is TBD.
• Pole sitter can accelerate to race pace at the start marker and 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.

• 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.

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.

No kidding, I tried the off line set up online with disastrous results. You just reminded me about getting this fixed up before Wednesday!

With new cars (from the premium dealership and some standard models you get as prizes for events) you have to drive them a certain distance before they achieve their full potential as far as power. Cars purchased from the OCD do not require this break in. Many drivers here hand the car over to a B-spec driver to run these miles, others prefer to do it themselves.

Note that almost all offline events add miles that count toward this break-in, but free run practice online does not.
