GTP WRS-Online : Event 46 : Twin Ring Twin Ring Motegi

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)

• Latecomers, even if you've registered
• Driver realizes he picked the wrong car parts (ie, tires) or driving options (ie, Auto tranny)

• All drivers should exit track after the order is announced and enter the pits. When all drivers are in the pits a steward will start the race.
• After the system places you on the grid drivers should proceed into stagger formation in order.
• Pole sitter will choose his/her preferred side of the track.
• There should be no overlap between cars in the staggered formation.
• Speed limit on formation lap is 62 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.
• Start marker for Twin Ring Motegi is start/finish line (both courses).
• 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.
• 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.

Registered for EU, maybe but probably not for NA. Any chance of a double wide start for the oval race?

I'm having the same problem again this summer as last year. Total lack of motivation to set the wheel up and play. I actually have more time for it just can't make it happen. I am hoping to start practicing for this and the Enduro tonight though.

516HP?

What part got added to it for that?

Seems the table is not updating, or I'm registering wrong somehow. I'm hoping more than 1 person wants to participate in this race.

Fixed.

You're signed up. 5 confirmed and 3 reserves for EU, 3 confirmed and 2 reserves for NA. We just need our image magic fixed up, which should be sometime tonight, I'm guessing.

1. Lap count set to 24 for both races.
2. Start type set to double file rolling start for the Superspeedway race.
3. Changed the points system so that the 3x multiplier for the road course applies to *both* the base and podium bonus points. (exact 75%/25% split in points).

I liked this combo, so I'll have at go at the race. Not sure which time I can make it for so I put in for a reserve in both. If things go good, I might try to do both

Edit: noob question, does the tune need to be changed for online? Say for grip levels, tune correction (ride height works normal online?), etc... Thanks guys!

No, at minimum you need ride height adjustments and often tranny tweaks. Sometimes an entirely different tune. Besides the difference in physics the online tune should factor in tire wear, draft, consistency and safety. The offline tune is all about pure speed.

Cheers! I'll get it online tomorrow and see what she needs

Also try the Praiano tune linked in the details post. Those tunes are typically developed for online use.

The first thing I will do is try EDK's offline tune with a ride height something like -10/0 or even 0/0. Then compare that to praiano and see what I like better. Also search GTP for an online tune. There are many for super GT cars.

I never tune from scratch myself.

👍 cheers for the advice 👍

P.S. don't forget to add me to the db

UPDATE: Now works... I have a feeling one of the other mods was logged into the account at the same time which caused that problem. You are on the friends list of all the lounges now thanks to whoever was secretly locking me out of the accounts.

Has it been decided how the oval race will line up, or is some practice going to be needed?

I believe with a 2 wide start, a reverse grid might make things interesting, although judging on how some are stronger than others on the road course, I don't think it will make a big difference if it's based on fastest or reverse of the road course results.

WRP001

Made a couple updates to the details:

1. Lap count set to 24 for both races.
2. Start type set to double file rolling start for the Superspeedway race.
3. Changed the points system so that the 3x multiplier for the road course applies to *both* the base and podium bonus points. (exact 75%/25% split in points).

Note: #1 and #2 are tentative pending practice tomorrow.
