​

Stewards Notes
We return to Der Tiefe Wald with a driver's car - who will return alive? (pretty much everyone, we suspect).

 

[Ealirendur]

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)



​

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)

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

Looking forward to this one already.

 

[Sjaak]

There is a chance I have to work 150km from my house next Wednesday and the next day so that may ruin my participation.

But if not,I will race on the Forest.👍

 

[OZ]

Just signed up for the NA race.👍

 

[Allibubba99]

Signed up for both races. I thought this was supposed to be "Colorfull Conceptii" What's up with the Black, Silver and white cars???

I have two cars, both in odd DLC colours. I'm really hoping I can make an arrangement work to let me actually race in the EU slot this week.

 

[jammy21]

Join in EU race.

BTW: practice EU Tuesdays @ 19:00 GMT / 3:00 PM Eastern / 12:00 PM Pacific
Is that ok? Should it be 20:00 GMT?

Yes, updated to 20:00 GMT, although of course the practice sessions are free to start an hour early.

 

[n0iZe83]

Signed up as a reserve for the EU race, let's see how practice goes.
Lacked a lot of speed in the TT.

 

[Speedy6543]

The Main Lounge is open for practice!

 

[Allibubba99]

On my way!

Signed up as a reserve for the EU race, I didn't do too well at this week's TT but I tend to do better in races. Hopefully I'll see you all there

I though that max/min stuff was fixed?
Thanks for the post though, if I make it to a race tomorrow I'll try it for sure 👍

 

[Ealirendur]

Depends what you mean by "fixed". It still does stuff, but probably not quite what you'd expect from the past, and from the little I've read and tried so far, is fairly car and track specific. Tuning for this one seemed really difficult for me; I wound up using a tweaked version of Simon's tune; something like:

LSD 7/25/12 or 7/18/10. 5/25/20 does actually work well for TT'ing, but needs careful throttle to benefit; Pekka's looks right for a racing setup. Think I used BB 5/5 or 5/6.

Toe -5/+5, IIRC. I'll try to find and update tonight. Jon's seemed pretty user-friendly, perhaps more so, but I'd tried one first and acclimated.

Tuning is seemingly much more about feel, confidence and maximizing for a particular set of track compromises than "this will make it all better and faster all around" now. Ride Height is definitely not a magic bullet either way; all IMHO, of course.

I'd absolutely try Pekka's. His gearboxes are usually very, very good, and I appear to get on OK with his diff settings, usually.

EDIT: I've added the available tunes in post 3.

 

[Allibubba99]

Headed to the lounge in about 10 minutes for N/A practice

[Hydro]

See you there Al 👍

 

[Speedy6543]

[NINE_HUNDRED]

[Speedy6543]

The Livestream will go up in about 7 min.

Might not be available for the NA race tonight.

 

[SAMHAIN85]

gooo Max

 

[WRP001]

Watching Speedy's feed... Looks like Pekka is attempting to implement a no stop strategy. The two leaders have managed to get by (it appears)... let's see if he can hold on to the last podium spot... 8 laps to go and he's got a decent gap to 4th. Looks like JTV is in the lead, but it's hard to tell from the feed as the triangles are almost perfectly spaced on the track at the moment.

UPDATE: 5 laps to go... Ren has nearly caught Pekka for 3rd... not much chance he holds onto the podium spot.

UPDATE: 4 laps to go... Ren passed Pekka for 3rd. Looks like his tires must be shot... 4th is in jeopardy. Barring any issue with lapped traffic I think JTV has got this one.

 

[n0iZe83]

Didn't make it tonight
Watched the stream, nice win Jon 👍

Speedy drove very well too imho, was cheering for you
I must say this livestream is a cool thing if you are late to a race, enjoyed it very much, thanks Chris for providing it.

 

[mohitraina91]

Congrats Jon! Great win!

Nice job too Ren 👍.

 

[Speedy6543]

Congrats on the win Jon! 👍

Mohit and Ren for the podium. 👍

I'll do my very best to make it for the NA Race. Enjoyed this one too much to miss it.
