• Notes: Drivers not in the lounge by the time the first driver has entered the track after reset will not be allowed to qualify. They are welcome to join the race, but will start at the back of the grid. If we are running multiple qualification groups and the driver enters before the last group has entered track an exception will be made.

• 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 62mph / 100kph and pole sitter should maintain this speed (or less) to keep pack together, on the final sector the pole sitter will reduce speed to 50mph / 80kph.
• 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 Cape Ring Inside is the 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.

• Pits are open and stops are optional, but may be required to complete the race based on fuel consumption and/or tire wear.
• Drivers are responsible for determining their fuel consumption, tire wear and ultimate pit strategy. Discussion of this strategy in the thread is encouraged but not required.
• Be aware that when "Tire Wear/Fuel Consumption" is set to "Fast" or "Very Fast" that the system's fuel add recommendations will be wrong. In this case you need to do your own testing and calculations prior to the race to ensure you add the proper amount of fuel to make it to the end of the race.
• On exit from the pits stay to the pit exit side (usually right side) of the white line if there is oncoming traffic.
• On both pit entry and exit, traffic not entering/exiting the pits must stay to track side (usually left side) of the white lines and are not allowed on the pit entry/exit except to avoid collisions. Drivers cannot follow another driver entering the pits into this area to draft and cannot drive into the area to avoid being drafted if they are not pitting.
• Remember, traffic on course has the right of way after the white line ends. Drivers that cross the line in either direction are responsible for any incidents that occur.

• 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.
• No hybrids - if you're caught using a hybrid or attempting to enter a hybrid onto the track during an official event you will be banned from all future 3D3 Racing events.
• 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.

BTW: where is half of the huge crowd of week 90 off to?

I've not raced in one of these events for nearly a year. Last night I was going to grab some practice, but I couldn't find the lounges. Anyone have a guess as to what I'm doing wrong?

I think due to your inactivity you have been removed from the friends lists from the lounges. This is due to the popularity of the events and the fact that PSN account have a limit of 100 friends.

You can see in this list that you are no longer on the friends list, notice the red marked 0. Best you can do is send new friend requests and fill in this form.

Thanks 👍 I'll do as you mentioned and hope I can get in before Wednesday. Glad I tried to find the lounge yesterday, otherwise I wouldn't have noticed until it was time to go racing!

(Just in case I don't get added in time, I changed to reserve. I will be there if added in time. I'm reserve because I don't know if there will be time for an admin to add me, not because I'm unsure if I'll make the race.)

Thanks guys! That was quick. I'll change my registration to confirmed when I get to a PC. I may try to practice some later this evening after the kids are in bed, if anyone is around (that is, if I'm not too into gt academy).

Edit: Okay, re-confirmed. This is feeling like a very schizophrenic day!

Thanks for the practice session guys, very useful indeed. Whilst passing is not super easy, I think there are oppertunities if you pick your line carefully and time it just right. Either way, side by side around here is awesome fun 👍
