Nissan Silvia Spec-R Aero (S15) RM '02 @ Autumn Ring Reverse

​

Stewards Notes
Another car we have not used yet. The grip to power to weight ratio is quite nice around here. Should make for a great on-line race!

 

[Allibubba99]

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.

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 Autumn Ring Reverse 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):

Turn 2 grassy area.

There are several very similar sharp corners on this track. Rather than post a picture of all of them I will use one for an example. Cutting any of these corners (All 4 wheels off track surfaces) is not allowed.

​

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

I'm really excited for this one because now I have time to practice compared to last time.

 

[some12hate]

signed up for the EU race.
3rd WRS event and only really used 2 cars

btw. I'm not sure if the ECU is allowed, since it is an engine adjustment..
can anyone verify that for me?

No I don't think ecu is allowed because then it would clearly say and it says not allowed right now so i think that means nothing.

And by the way this made me think about maybe a good idea what if there would just be a PP or HP limit so you don't have to break cars in this would help for people that are new to wrs or signed up late so there is no variable in the HP of cars, which would make the field more even and make for better races IMO.

If needed there is always someone who will be glad to give you one. On the other hand it is only 300km to break them in.... km you will need to practise anyway if you want to be competitive, unless you are Bart's brother

Mika you can just let your b-spec driver take it around tokyo for 30 laps in one of the b-spec races. Do this a couple of times and you're done.

 

[WRP001]

Work has just gone ballistic and only a couple weeks prior to my planned vacation. Going to have to cancel for this event and I'm travelling next Wednesday. So.... the next time you'll see me on track is probably July 24th...

Have a good first half of the summer guys... See you on track in about 8 weeks.

Basically, a break-in is required. This is because if you don't break in your car, and then bring your car up to the required HP, during the race, your car has the potential to be increasing in power (as it is not yet broken in) and therefore by the end of the race, it might be possible for someone to have a more powerful car.

Aww that's a shame Tim !! I suppose it's good if works coming in but bad as it means less GT Time!! We'll miss that accent in the lounge!

Ok I see that wouldn't make it not much better i'll have pay v.brundel some more money so he breaks the cars in for me .

 

[oink83]

Haha. If ever you don't think you have time or its not convenient to break in a car yourself, post to this thread of the TT, and there will almost always be someone who can send you a car already broken in.

+ A broken-in reduced in power car has more torque than a non-broken-in car.

To break it in, set in on the B-Spec Indy 500 for 80 laps (usually 1hr - 1hr20min). You can also install parts that can be removed (turbo, ECU, etc) for more power/quicker laps on the Indy 500, then remove those parts again to race here. That's how I do it.

Yeah i would do that one problem i almost never do b-spec so i have a little grind to go before i get to where i can let it do that race.

 

[Speedy6543]

It's definitely worth the effort. BTW, you can upgrade your B-Spec drivers very quick like explained here.

 

[anastasis14]

Sorry for being off-topic for a bit, but i usually break in my cars at gvs cause it's exactly 300km. Is indy faster?

 

[Vagabond]

Sorry for being off-topic for a bit, but i usually break in my cars at gvs cause it's exactly 300km. Is indy faster?

Yes - higher average speed. You don't need to do the whole race, about 70 laps should do it.

 

[anastasis14]

Yes - higher average speed. You don't need to do the whole race, about 70 laps should do it.

Hmm, I always thought restarting/quitting in the middle of a race didn't count the mileage. Good to know 👍

It does but don't quit while the car is in the pits or the mileage doesn't count for some reason. 👍

 

[RobertSamuel]

Yes - higher average speed. You don't need to do the whole race, about 70 laps should do it.

Where can I find that indy 500 race?

 

[Vagabond]

B-Spec Endurance races (or A-Spec obviously but you want Bob to do it for you)

 

[oink83]

Where can I find that indy 500 race?

It wont be available until your b-spec is up to like, level 25 or something, so you will need to work through other races first. Theres a good one in proffessional I beleive which is some laps at daytona, you can just do it multiple times. Eventually you'll unlock those endurance races though.

 

[jammy21]

Join in EU race.

 

[RobertSamuel]

my car number lol

 

[n0iZe83]

Signed up for the race as a reserve! I've been away too long from the wednesday races.
Should be there for practice tomorrow.
