HornBasher's Intro
First of all, many thanks to DocRikowski for sharing his materials, guidance and support with creating this topic.

This event is an adaptation to PC of a very successful version of the one that has been created and ran by Docrikowski on
[PSN] - click to see original post.



--- INTRO ---
1) Objectives
Welcome to the GTAF Race Leaderboards (PC)!
The objectives of this "always running" event are ambitious:
— to gather in one topic all the best GTAF Drivers, all the best independent Free Drivers

and generally everyone who loves GTA IV Online Racing;
— to organize them in a large group of players that will compete in a series of Tournaments and Cups held on a regular basis ;
— to promote competition in the form of Duels among Drivers and Teams.
— to use a detailed point system to keep track of the progresses and the results of each Driver,Team



Ultimately the main objective of the event is to have fun competing against the best and the fastest

drivers GTAF can offer.
That's cause we just love to race!

2) GTAF Race Leaderboards
There are 3 Leaderboards:
- Drivers Leaderboard
- Teams Leaderboard
- Fastest Lap Leaderboard

that hasn't got a full roster yet



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


- CUP/TOURNAMENT - POINT SYSTEM
In order to have a fair distribution of points the point system varies depending on the number of

Drivers participating in one single race.
Five Classes of Race: A, B, C, D, E.
The points and the money awarded in each race or in each CUP/TOURNAMENT will be used in all

the two displayed Leaderboards: Drivers, Team
The money awarded to Drivers will always be the amount assigned by the game itself in the final

score screen.

— TOURNAMENT/CUP Points
- Points valid for Driver LB, Team LB
- Money won valid for Driver LB

Class "A" Race — From 25 to 32 Drivers 1st — 18 points 2nd — 15 points 3rd — 12 points 4th — 10 points 5th — 8 points 6th — 6 point 7th — 4 points 8th — 3 points 9th — 2 point 10th — 1 point 11th to 32th — 0 points 1st Fastest Lap — 5 points 2nd Fastest Lap — 3 points 3rd Fastest Lap— 1 points

— DRIVING CODE
The CUP/TOURNAMENT Racing Events have a driving code depending on the event or on the kind of

track/race.
It's up to each Driver to respect the Code as much as possible
since it's not possible to implement a controlling/punishing system for disrespectful and unfair

Drivers.
However GRIEFING in the form of road block or going backwards will not be accepted in

any case and it will be punished severely.

Nice job Horn.
Good luck with this.

[ajbns87]

I hope it's a success Horn.

If I had a PC that could play GTA IV I'd join for sure.

[Vintage88]

Good luck

Thank you Doc and AJ, I appreciate it.
Admiring your own work Doc? I must agree it does look sharp.

QUOTE (Vintage88 @ Tuesday, May 1 2012, 22:20)

Looks great, but I should throw this out there: It's very hard to get fair races (or any sort of fair competition) going on the PC version of GTA. You can modify the handling file quite easily to change everything from speed to acceleration to suspension to steering angle. I'm struggling to see a way in which you could make sure that none of the competitors are using modified handling. Mods like RealisticDrivingEFLC increase all of these factors mentioned but subtly; enough to edge out a few extra seconds per lap but not enough for it to be obvious to others you have a modded handling file. Something like BUSTED! works well on PC, as even with modified handling the lone racer is usually still using a significantly slower vehicle. Even deathmatch on PC is a crap-shoot. When I modded my weapons some time ago I also increased the damage in which they do, as well as the fire distance and increased the fire-rate on some guns. The fact that you can do all this on PC very much so takes away from the PvP nature of the game; PvP for the most part only works amongst a group of trusting friends.

Yes, one thing is for sure, that you are struggling. Struggling to see clearly.
I found it quite an insult that you would come here and post your negative personal opinion on the first page of our topic.
We've been racing for past few years, couple days a week, and what you have just said is greatly exaggerated.


Sure, there are some people with modified files, but they are definitely in minority. Heck you even forgot to mention the speed glitch (which is very common these days), all kinds of connectivity issues on top of the terrible online PC community. Listen, no matter what platform you are playing on, there is always gonna be people who think that all others use glitches, mods, hacks etc.


Yes, it is obvious to a pro-players to see who's using any type of handicap. They might not always mention that to you, but you can be sure that they'll talk about it between themselves and very likely, you won't see them again.

So if you are going into the woods, you must expect some mosquitoes, otherwise don't even bother going anywhere!.

[Vintage88]

Yeah, I dunno about that. I've played a lot of GTA on PC... on GTAF especially most of the gamers are modders.

Anyways, posts are removed. PM'd. Good luck again

I've added you to your teams. Once we get more then 10 racers signed up, we can decide on a date and time of our first cup. In the meantime you can start to organize driver vs driver duels and post result picture here or pm that to me.

On the side note I have voted for many of you: Doc, Andy, AJ as well as [D12] and [Y] members, mostly out of respect and appreciation for your hard workl
Thank you.
Let's just hope you were all nominated in the right categories .
