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.

(table will auto update approximately every 30 minutes)



​

Eligibility

This WRS-Online event hosted by 3D3 Racing is open to GTP_Registered members only. If you are not currently on the registry run the GTP_Registry qualifier and join now!

Registration Instructions

The following must be performed by every driver for every event:
  • Click the registration button above, fill-in and submit the online registration form (use your GTP_ tag ID)
  • Leave a quick note in this thread to let us know you've registered and any other comments.
The following must be performed only one time per driver (not per event):
  • Send a PSN friend request to GTP_3D3Racing, GTP_3D3_A and GTP_3D3_B from your GTP_tag account.
  • Submit the 3D3 Racing Online Driver Database Entry Form. Your information will need to be verified before you are added to the db and before your ID will appear in the registered driver table above. You can view the official driver database here.

There is a 32 car/driver limit for this event (per region) and slots are awarded on the grid using a first come first serve basis. Reference the registered drivers table above for availability. This is a stand alone race and points are not tallied for a series. Future WRS-Online races hosted by 3D3 racing may have different driver limits and will require re-registration using the same first come first serve basis and participation in future events is optional.

Registration Changes

If you want to change your time slot, add a time slot or update your color choices just click on the registration link and fill out the form again and submit with new values. Your last entry will override any previous entries.

Cancellations

If for some reason, after you register for the event, you are unable to attend please click the registration button above and complete the form again selecting "cancel" as your status. Please also post a note in this thread as the table above can take some time to update.

Delaying or Restarting Race Start

Once the race countdown timer has started, the race will only be restarted in these cases:
  • Multiple drivers report a black screen/hang, instead of the 3-2-1 countdown.
  • One or more drivers get disconnected before race-pace has begun ("GO" for grid-starts, end of formation lap for rolling starts).
  • Steward realizes there is a condition that would lead to an unfair or poor race experience.

Once the race countdown timer has started, the race will explicitly NOT be restarted for:
  • Latecomers, even if you've registered
  • Driver realizes he picked the wrong car parts (ie, tires) or driving options (ie, Auto tranny)

  • Pole sitter will choose his/her preferred side of the track.

  • 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.

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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

Good Luck, OLR Team:gtplanet:

Just hoping to mostly stay on track with this one, to work on being able to actually race with an LMP ... will need to join some practice sessions.
 
Might join the N/A race if a 6th driver is needed to make it official, but it would probably turn into a comedy of {ho|e}rrors for me...

I can't believe the lack of interest for this race.

I just signed up 👍 - but I think I was expected ;)
It's a bit like the Rakete combo... powerful race car on a technical track. That had a slow start to the sign ups as well, but we wound up with 11 for EU and 6 for NA.
Hopefully we at least match that.
 
Outside chance I can make it for NA, I just realized. I'll sign up reserve. 👍 I've only done about 5 laps with a DS3 so far. :scared:
 
Knowing how I detest those kind of cars, I'm not signing up for this one.

You guys have fun with it.

Oh, come on Speedy, you have to race this :sly:

I´m not sure if I can keep this beast on track all the time, but I´ll give it my best effort. It´s my first race with a proper race car and my G27, so be gentle with me.

I´m on vacation this week, so finally I have some time to dedicate to this fantastic WRS League 👍

No excuses for not joining, at least for me :)

See you for practice tonight.

Is that praiano tune in the OP any good?
Click to expand...

I inserted that tune/link in the thread without trying it, but c'mon it's a Praiano tune so "it's got to be good" (just like Smuckers Jelly :lol:).

Seriously, they are always nice racing tunes that tend to be fairly conservative, but that's probably what you want in this case given your dislike of the rocket class. I personally find his tunes to fit my style almost perfectly, but others feel they are often too tight and can tend to wear tires if you push too hard. To each his/her own.
 
Lap count tentatively set to 32 and will finalize after [getting feedback from] practice today.
 
Heading into lounge for some practice now. Noize is there as well
 
Not sure where the base tune came from but here is what I have.

Trans max speed 343 kph

L.S.D. 5,5,5

Suspension
RH -10 -10
SR 14.8 13.8
Ext 8 3
Com 8 3
ARB 6 2
Camber 0.5 0.5
Toe 0.00 0.00

BB 7 4
 
My hatred towards the rockets has just been confirmed once more. :mad:

Good luck in the race(s) guys.

Yes Speedy, this is where the boys get seperated from the men :sly::)

I have noticed that race cars suit me well, and there is no difference with this one... I will probably do both races tomorrow!! Nice way to start my hollidays ;)
 
Just managed 8 laps in race conditions on a set of tires without any trouble, other than taking the first turn at the start too quickly. Only adjustments I made to my personal setup was softening the suspension a bit, reducing rear camber and minor adjustments to the LSD.

I think you're being called a boy Speedy. :lol: We should rename the event, "LMP is Gonna Kill Speedy." :P

What kind of lap times were you doing? So would you be projecting 3 stops for a 32 lap race or could you stretch that to 10-11 laps pretty easily for a 2 stopper?

3 stopper is probably what I'll do. It might be possible to get 10 laps but I'm not certain on that yet. Was doing 1'42 to 1'46 during that race.

And as I type this, Pekka said it's possible to do 9 laps, without any draft assistance. That really factors in because it takes all the downforce off the car if you follow the guy in front too closely.

If I could get 9 laps out of a stint, that would be enough to work with my strategy.

I did lap times from 1'42 upto 1'46 in my last lap. I am not sure neither I would be able to pull out 10 laps, but probably someone will :)
 
In that case 32 laps should result in the race lasting about an hour including pits. We'll just leave it at that. Allows for 4 even stints of 8 laps and if you can run 9 laps you could short pit one of the stints.
