• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

Thanks, I've been out of this for quite a few years (hint: last time I raced seriously it was GT4 not GT5). Don't see too many familiar tags either, only Kevin (EDK) that I can remember.

It looks like we need to lower power and or aero that we used in the time trial, is that correct. The time trial cars are at 630 hp and 631 pp when fully broken in.

I'm dropping to reserve for this one, but unlikely to make it... sporting a 101.5 temp and feeling like I've been hit by a truck.

Sorry, only just saw this, I went off and raced my other passion (the one that requires 425W of non-virtual pedal power). I'll try and join in tomorrow night then.

Still not sure what you mean by 'lounge' either or how you join such a creature?

I think I'd like to get in on this. Bought the car for the Saturday event, broke it in, and tuned the suspension to my liking. If there's room I'd like to join in. I'm using #23 and the bright yellow colour from the NCD. Lemme know. I think I'll try and join the lounge to see if I can get in some practice with whoever is in there. I'll just leave if it's an issue.
