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)

Formation Lap

• 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 62 mph / 100 km/h 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 Rome 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.

Pit Entry and Exit Guidelines

• 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.

Track Boundary Guidelines

Drivers are expected to do their best to stay within track boundaries per the OLR. Mistakes happens over the course of a long race and the random off or two will be overlooked in most instances, but if a pattern of boundary abuse is observed penalties will be handed out which include 15 seconds for a "minor" pattern of abuse, 30 seconds for a "substantial" pattern of abuse, and a DQ for "complete disregard" of track boundaries. In cases where penalties may not impact the driver (e.g. DC), the penalty may be carried over to the next event and may be applied as a 5 (minor) or 10 (major) grid spot penalty.

It's up to the admins' discretion exactly what qualifies as "minor", "substantial" or "complete disregard". Going outside the rumble by a centimeter isn't as serious as a car length wide excursions into the run off area. Factors such as dirty air and traffic also come into play. If you find yourself going wide then the next lap you're expected to slow down a bit more to make sure you stay within boundaries. If you make the same mistake multiple times and you want to avoid a penalty you can always self-penalize during the race by lifting for a very brief period upon returning to the track. Continuing to hammer the throttle after repeated boundary overruns may very well end with a post race penalty.​

General Guidelines:

• 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.

Track Specific Guidelines- (The Following Areas are Not Part of the Track):

Green runoff section, trackside left of turn 3, sharp right hander.

Green runoff section, trackside left of double right hander at final corner.
​

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.
• 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.

Good Luck, OLR Team

Nice love the subies, imprezas are some of my favorite cars.

 

[oink83]

Fortunately, I can definately race NA in this one. Was pretty 🤬 when I couldn't race the other night, lol.

 

[gtevolution]

Cool, the track is unique and the mixure of altitude difference and the ground waves make it fun to drive on. It will be an exciting race due to race tires and the good aero but also because of the short track length

 

[WRP001]

It looks like I'll have to miss EU this week, but should be able to make the NA race.

 

[Allibubba99]

I have to miss the NA race this week. (Working) Love this track! this track was my first ever on-line WRS race!

[GTP_Patrick1]

After 10 days of too many hours at work and weekend travel, I am looking forward to this race. Missed last week's TT and race, just got a few laps in as of now for the TT this week. It is a nice car/track pairing.

 

[OZ]

Signed up for the NA race. Wish I could make the EU race but have to work.
Thanks

[Vagabond]

This is going to be one crazy event. Racing ON Frank.

Any ideas on fuel/tyre wear chaps?

 

[Twissy]

[Racingworld68]

Any ideas on fuel/tyre wear chaps?

If you pay close attention to my driver in the car you will notice he has his knife between the teeth If he would take off his helmet you would be able to see his warrior colours

Nothing official here but i guess tyrewear should be at normal. laps should be arround 47+1....

3D3 Main lounge open for practise

 

[Celinis]

I'm in the lounge, running some laps

 

[Litchi]

I assume you're in A or B lounge, I'm with Frank in GTP_3D3Racing lounge 👍

 

[oink83]

I'm in the lounge, running some laps

I thought you weren't able to come this week? Or just fancied running some laps anyway!

 

[WRP001]

I'm out this week. Wife And family got very little attention the last week and none over the weekend with the WRS F1 GP basically "consuming me.". I will make it up to them this week and stay off the game (my own choice).

Good luck guys.

 

[oink83]

Aww. I think your scared now

 

[Strop]

I'm back in this week, got back late Friday and had a chance to run the TT so I'm looking forward to this one.

 

[oink83]

Signups are looking nearly full for EU! Gunna be a mad race I think, given the pace of these cars.

 

[Racingworld68]

I have excited the lounge now, its been enough for today, think I started racing with Litch this afternoon at something around 15.00, so that would be about 9 hours Done several racces with different drivers, so thank you GTP_Litchi, GTP_Skills, GTP_Straffestef, GTP_Kreezydoed and GTP_Strop, has been good fun racing with you guys !!

 

[Celinis]

Someone there? Im in the lounge running some laps :-)

Edit:

I thought you weren't able to come this week? Or just fancied running some laps anyway!

This combo is just too good! I'm using every free time to run, just for fun. :-)
