GTP WRS-Online : Event 57 : Autumn in the Autobacs - October 10

In the event of a field of 13-15 drivers we will disable mics and race with one grid. With 16+ we will split the grid.

​

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

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

• A steward will exit track, view the live timing monitor and announce the order after qualification while all drivers remain on track.
• 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 80 mph / 120 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 Autumn Ring 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.
• 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.

The biggest change with online after 2.08 is it's instability and frequent black screens.

Otherwise it seems offline setups work almost directly online with no/minor adjustments.

I my opinion the offline tune felt tighter when I tried it on-line.

This race should be a total blast regardless!

Yeah, the car was tight. When we did the picture race the other night, I changed rear ride height to loosen the car up a bit. I moved to -5 (From +10), but that ended up being too loose. I think I'll end up with -15/0 or -15/+5 ride height, and also lowered dampers to better deal with the "Real" grip loss and track edge. Will play with other settings to see what helps, along with making gears a bit longer for slipstream.

Didn't 2.08 FIX that problem with "backwards" ride heights? Lowering the rear in the real world would tighten the car even more.

FIX?

No, it's not fixed, it's just different. The offline setups are opposite of what they used to be, but the online seem different, while not following precisely with the outcome of offline changes, or "real world" changes.

You just have to learn what affect changes have on the car and deal with it. Throw out your real world tuning knowledge, it will only frustrate you.

At least we don't have to have the nose of our cars pointed to the sky when running offline now.

LOL, I guess I'm eternal optimist that sim designers will use physics for tuning! I've amassed some 25 years of real world tuning, so it's going to be hard to beat it out of me. Just like the driving, sim driving is NOT real world

Thanks Kevin, I'll get into your tune and start from there 👍

I didn't make any adjustments to my setup the other night when we did the driving for the pictures. Car felt just fine to me.

Apparently PD has announced that they have released a fix to all these network issues.
One can only hope...
