HOW TO FIND US
Everything begins in GTA Race in Grand Theft Auto IV. It's optional but always good to get a Grand Theft Auto party going in Party Mode with some friends. Once you're ready and the event has begun, start up GTA Race. Rockstar players will be scattered through a number of different lobbies to allow for the maximum amount of people to play on each day.

As always, stay up to date on which modes we're in during the event by following the chat on the Social Club Multiplayer Event page. 

SPECTATE AND CHAT
Can't reach a gaming PC during our play time? You can still follow everything at the Social Club Multiplayer Event page with the live streaming broadcast. We'll also have the chat box running during the event for those that want to discuss the action with fellow fans.

NEED A PARTNER?
Hit up the chat box during the event or plan ahead and coordinate your party by posting your Gamertag in the Comments section below.

ABOUT PARTY MODE
Party Mode is an easy way to get your group together and find matches.  Here are the 3 quick and easy steps to get you up and running:

1. To get started, fire up the in-game mobile phone by pressing "Up" on the D-pad.  Navigate to Party Mode.
2. From here, open up your phone again and select the Friends option to invite your friends (you need at least one more friend to play with Rockstar). 
3. Once your team is ready to roll and the event has begun, open up the in-game phone again and select GTA Race.
