GTP WRS-Online : Special VII - Le Mans Dream Car Enduro - Sept 9

[jtv90069]

When you put it like that Tim, 24 it is 👍

I have switched back to a confirm from reserve. My Internet connection has been fine when in the lobby by myself and I've not had any recent crappy behaviour. The speed is 9mbps/1.05mbps and I was ok over wireless during the Spa enduro many months back so I'll give it a shot. I'll try and get the provider to actually investigate why I've dropped off from 12mbps in the next week as well. Need to also setup the port forwarding really for Xbox live and PSN. Will see if I can find time (and by that I mean "see if I can be arsed"!) to sort it, or resort to just swapping DMZ host

We have a theory why our private lounge isn't accepting 16 drivers -- GT5 is reserving one spot for the "owner" which in our case never races. I'm hoping to test that out at some point when we have 16 drivers ready to volunteer to test, but given it's the day of the race and it's just a test race we're just going to try the public lobby option today and attempt to service a full grid of 16 drivers.

The WRS admins and stewards are organizing a test to determine if private lounges will accept 16 drivers if the 'owner' is present in the lounge. The system has so far been rejecting the 16th driver when we utilize the shared private lounge, but we tested a public lobby and 16 drivers were allowed to enter.

For this test one of the admins will join the lounge as owner (logged in as GTP_3D3Racing) and we will test if 15 additional drivers can join. If that turns out to be the case we can continue to use private lounges even if the driver count is 16. If it turns out the lounge is still limited to 15 drivers we will consider using public lounges when the driver count could reach 16 for events.

Please see the following thread and sign up if you are available for one of the proposed time slots:

GTP WRS-Online : Private Lounge 16 Driver Test - September 1, 2012

Wow, Guillaume, those interactive maps are pretty cool! I think you've just set a new standard for WRS/3D3 stewards to follow

 

[Litchi]

Shhhhh, don't say my french real name here dude, i don't like it ahah. Call me with the english one, Will 👍

 

[WRP001]

No way! I think Wardez created those and he's insane (in a good way). Hope he's doing well in Silverstone right now. 👍 If he wins he won't have time to do any more of those pieces of work.

 

[Litchi]

hell yea, all tanks goes to Eddie. Really amazing work.

And hope the best for him at Silverstone 👍

In the main lobby running some laps.

I'll join you now.

Note: There was a copy/paste/edit mistake in the OP regarding qualifying. Due to the length of this track there will be only one hot lap allowed per qualifier. This was our intention from the beginning, but I missed the edit from the last enduro.

The change is noted in red below and is reflected in the update OP:

Qualifying Race Procedure

1. A race steward will set up the lounge to the proper regulations for the car.
2. The driver will enter the course to verify regulations have been satisfied.
3. The race timer will be started.
4. The qualifying steward and any other observers will monitor the race live to validate the run and save a replay in case of any protest.
5. The qualifying races will consist of 3 laps: 1 un-timed out-lap + 1 timed hot-lap + 1 un-timed in-lap.
6. After finishing the hot lap the driver should slow, park and stay on track.
7. Lap time and any infractions will be noted and announced by the steward.
8. When the driver and steward are in agreement on the recorded net lap time the driver can exit the track.
9. Replays should always be saved by the observing steward. There are many areas to cut and gain time on this track and camera angles are not always good so all qualification runs will be preliminary pending a full replay review.

Thanks for catching that Mohit.

PS> I just used the 66 ticket in the 3d3 lounge account and first try I got the Jag. If anyone has a 66 and 67 ticket if they wouldn't mind gifting it to the lounge that would be great. I do have it in my account, but used up my gift today and will take a couple days, but no big deal. Thanks.

 

[WRP001]

Talk about crazy... Last night as I said above I got the jag on my first try with the 67 ticket. Tonight I sent the 3d3 lounge a new 67 ticket and guess what?... Got the Ferrari on the first try? What are the odds of that? Anyone know the math? 2 tickets, 2 target cars, 10 possible car models per ticket. Order of receiving each car doesn't matter.

STOP!!!! I just had a Stats flashback... [walks away to recover]

I'd say the odds were 3D3 to 1

I'm in main running the Ford.

Well, actually the Jag comes on a 66 ticket, like you wrote in your previous post, which only has 5 cars to choose from.

So it comes down to 0.2 for the Jag (1 in 5) and 0.1 for the Ferrari (1 in 10). That makes 0.02 or a 2% chance you hit them both first time (no matter in what order). Or 1 in 50. Or ... not enough to play the lottery just yet.

 

[AspecBob]

Well, it did happen, so the probability was 100%

Yah I forgot it was the 66 ticket for the jag. It would have been 1 in 50 also had it been the 67 ticket BTW.

Would have been a more interesting problem if you couldn't get the same car twice from the same ticket.

Here two pictures for the test race, I'll be more in the next race

 

[pilmat]

Looks like I'm out of the Enduro

I've been asked to be crew chief on one of these and somehow can't say "no".

​

Funny thing with that photo (looking at it in the post preview), I did a lot of the development on the rudder of plane parked in the background! Weird...

 

[PASM]

I have the intention of qualifying on Sunday 2nd of September somewhere between 13:00 and 16:00 GMT. Is there a steward available at that time to overlook my run?

 

[WRP001]

Announcements:

• The specs are now final (no changes necessary)
• The qualifying window opens tomorrow, August 30th

Post to this thread when you are ready for a steward to observe your qualification run. Remember, it's only one hot lap and no retries!!

Also, a reminder to everyone who might not be following the Private Lounge - 16 Driver Test thread... this Saturday (Sept 1) we'll be having a "track day" of sorts for this combo that will double as a lounge limit test. Sign up in that thread if you can make it and haven't already registered.

If it turns out you can make it at the last minute and didn't sign up please feel free to join the main lounge during the time window. We'll only be running practice so don't worry about joining mid race or anything. It won't be a valid test if we can't get to 16 drivers at any point during the test so join even if you are just popping in for a few minutes. If you get the "lounge full" message please post to the test thread as that is exactly what we are looking for.

For the most part we're just going to be driving and practicing and here is the format:

• First 10-15 minutes of every hour will be free run.
• Next 30-40 minutes we will run practice races (1x8 or 2x4 based on preferences of drivers in the lounge).
• Final 10-15 minutes of every hour will be free run.

I have the intention of qualifying on Sunday 2nd of September somewhere between 13:00 and 16:00 GMT. Is there a steward available at that time to overlook my run?

I'm sure someone will have you covered. 13:00 GMT is too early for me (6:00 AM local), but toward the end of that window I should be available. Hopefully someone else will have it covered though.

You have no idea how tempted I am to join this. But I'll still need to join WRS before I can do anything.

Run the qualifier already! Weren't you thinking about doing it last fall? It only takes a few hours (driving and playing a game!) and you can then join us whenever it tickles your fancy.

Go tell your buddy Dragon too.

PS> I remember last time you, Dragon and I ran together at La Sarthe it turned out to be a pretty good race... at least until you ran out of fuel.

 

[mohitraina91]

Joining lounge in 15 minutes.

May qualify in 40-50 minutes if my practice goes well.

 

[mohitraina91]

Ready to qualify! If any steward would be so kind...

 

[mcfizzle]

I can be on in 5 if no one has arrived yet.




***Main Lounge Closed for qualifying. Please do no enter until I update this post.***

Edit: Lounge now open. Great job Mohit.

 

[mohitraina91]

Thanks for your time Scott.

I'm out for the night.

Haha yeah. I've just been stalling because Im trying to get as much time as I can get. I'll get my WRS qualy done but I wont be able join this race. I've never driven these cars let alone practice in less than a week. I'll keep my eye out for these 3D3 spot races.

 

[Michouw]

the qualification are in the room 3D3 or in the room public?
