Steward's Notes
Instead of a Dark Lord, you would have a Fair Lady, not dark but beautiful and terrible as the dawn! Tempestuous as the sea, and stronger than the foundations of the earth! All shall love me and despair!

 

[WRP001]

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.

​

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)

• 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 50 mph / 80 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 Cape Ring North 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.

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

Note: For the online race we are going to remove the supercharger.

That should put you at 373 HP or 496 PP. This car is a bit more approachable without the supercharger especially online.

Also, if you are migrating from an offline tune you'll have to adjust the ride height almost immediately to make the roundabout. I set it to -20/-5. Using that setting and Vagabonds offline tune the car drives very well offline.

Hope we get a few more sign ups... kind of light so far.

Also we'll be doing 34 laps in the Z34.

 

[Speedy6543]

Signed up. Didn't notice the thread was up yet.

 

[AspecBob]

Just registered as resoive for NA.

Do you people realize this is the first time in 12 weeks (12 weeks!!!) we can paint a car for an online event?

 

[mohitraina91]

Just registered as resoive for NA.

Do you people realize this is the first time in 12 weeks (12 weeks!!!) we can paint a car for an online event?

What about week 43?

But yeah it's crazy.

 

[GTPorsche]

Week 43 was the SLS and Gallardo from the arcade/recommended listing.

 

[Cats_PJs]

Signed up as reserve. Hope to see you Wednesday.

 

[n0iZe83]

Signed up as reserve, don't know my day schedule for wednesday yet.

 

[WRP001]

No comments on my Steward's notes? Geez, am I the only Tolkien fan around here!

 

[Hydro]

Right over my head Tim, But I was never much of a fan tbh.
I wondered where the notes came from

 

[Cats_PJs]

Oh no, I've read the books and own the extended version of the movies.

I was actually quite frightened when I read that, yet I couldn't look away. That is one freaky elf queen.

 

[GTPorsche]

Changing my status to reserve.

 

[pilmat]

I'll know tomorrow if I can make EU. I'm pretty confident to make NA, but still maybe'd the entry. Going to have to put in some laps for this one!

 

[Ealirendur]

No comments on my Steward's notes? Geez, am I the only Tolkien fan around here!

No, but I hadn't Eye'd (or Palantir'd) the thread yet .

Didn't run the offline combo significantly (busy/still a bit sick and needing extra sleep/procrastinated), but I will probably show up for EU to get thoroughly owned; I'm awful at this track and variants. As far as Rings, I'll echo Edna Mode - "No Capes!". And no Autumns, but hey, and least I'm starting to warm to HSR.

You're a caution, Mr WRP, and no mistake.

 

[GTPorsche]

I should be able to make both practices today. Not sure how I'll do in the races with having to navigate the jump and that final multi-apex corner. I'll run as many laps as I can because more laps equals more experience.

 

[jtv90069]

Mamba, Noize and I are in the lounge for practice.

 

[GTPorsche]

I'll be there shortly. The show I'm watching on Netflix is almost over.

 

[WRP001]

On my way.

 

[Speedy6543]

+1

 

[mohitraina91]

+0.007

In maybe 30-40 mins.

 

[GTPorsche]

I'm not feeling so great.

I might be back for NA practice if I'm feeling better.

Edit: I'm using Chris's tune. My only adjustments were -25/0 on suspension and 1.8/2.0 camber. Had no issues in the loop with that setting.

[WRP001]

Main lounge closed temporarily for enduro quali. Will reopen for practice after.

[Gravitron]

I added a link to Pekka's tune to the OP Tunes area.

I hope to be on for some practice around 7pm PT. 👍

 

[mohitraina91]

I'll be around soon.

 

[Racingworld68]

I will probably race tonight in EU race. With our without practise
