• After the system places you on the grid drivers should proceed into stagger formation in order.
• Pole sitter will take side of track (right or left) that is normally assigned to the pole position on the grid (Fuji = Left).
• 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.

• 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.
• Start marker for Tsukuba is start/finish line.
• 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).
• 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.
• Contact with walls should be avoided. Wall riding/bouncing to gain time will be penalized and/or can result in disqualification.
• Rumble/ripple strips are part of the track
• Runoff areas are not part of the track including green painted concrete. The Light Brown Surface to the outside of the Rumble Strip on the Left Side of the Track before the Start Finish Line is Not 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.

Cool. 👍 It sounded like in the TT thread that you hadn't tried BB 3/1 yet...if not, definitely give it a try. I spun a lot less both offline and online with just that change.

Also, being completely off the brakes once you start turn-in helps too.

Doesn't look like the tires wear that much, but I'm fairly easy on my tires as long as i'm not sliding around.

Have laps been decided yet for the race? I'm guessing somewhere in the 50 lap area?

Yes, you'll need to send the FR as you were removed from the list due to inactivity. Let me know when you send the FR and I'll log in and accept.

You are GTP_Matthew right? I don't see it on your profile and the PSN listed in your profile doesn't quite match the one in the 3D3 Driver Database. MattyMc1996 vs Mattymc96. Should I update that also?

Matty

I'll send the FR's just before I start GT5 up for the practice session.

Also MattyMc96 was my old GTP name whereas MattyMc1996 is my main PSN account. I only use GTP_Matthew (So yes I am GTP_Matthew) for WRS sanctioned events or time trials.

So it's:
GTP name: Matty
PSN (Or SEN) name: GTP_Matthew.
