Race (GTA IV Online)
Checkpoint racing in GTA IV Online, including combat-enabled GTA Race variants.
Overview
Race modes send players through checkpoint courses in Liberty City. GTA Race variants allow combat during the race; standard Race focuses on clean checkpoint order and vehicle control without mandatory gunplay across Algonquin and the outer boroughs. Confirm rules, team sizes, and payouts in the retail GTA IV Online lobby UI before hosting a match. Primary sources are the in-game mode list, pre-match options screen, and on-screen objectives rather than third-party checklists.
Rules
Lap or checkpoint counts, vehicle class, and traffic settings come from the lobby host options shown before launch.
