The Beginning:
It all started with a simple conversation between a few racers in the world of GTAO. A conversation that would lead to a fast growing family with one common interest, the love of racing. Tired of weak racers, bumper cars, and pit maneuvers, a notion was put in place to find good, honest, clean racers. Players that knew how to handle their car and race with true motion. Multiple things began to take place and ideas started to rush in. This was the beginning of a crew.
After searching for clean racers, the idea came about (put forth by Mo-Seph) to start an Approved Racers thread. Little did we know that it would quickly become a hot topic with over 2000 views and 10 pages of discussion (some randomness does take place). This ultimately lead to the creation of Red Rum Racing on November 6, 2013. A crew that vows to race clean, fair and do whats right when it’s necessary.
Starting with just a few members, Red Rum quickly grew to over 50 members in less than a month. Now to some, this seems low. But you have to understand that this is not a crew to be judged by numbers. Not to mention, we do more than just racing. We have had Gymkhana Drifting sessions at the airport (Tolly’s idea), barrel rolls using the airline steps at the airport, rock climbing, and whatever else comes about. Sometimes, the best sessions are at random.

What is Red Rum about?
Well as most can figure, we are about racing. But not just any racing. We follow a very strict set of rules, also known as “Gentleman’s Guidelines”. When we race, we race for the competition, fun, and the pride of knowing you won a good clean fair race. No pitting maneuvers, no bumper car action, and no “Protect first place at all cost”. When we race, you can count on being able to pass another player with confidence that you will not be shoved off the road. Now, while racing accidents are bound to happen. Over-correcting in a turn and slamming into another player. Hitting your brakes sooner than the person behind you. And the ever so often Slip Stream Rear-End Tap. When accidents happen, we do what we feel is necessary to accommodate those if the accident was our fault.
If you’re looking for a crew that races in supers and sticks to Criminal Minds or Down The Drain, you’re better off staying in the parking lot with the soccer moms. Red Rum races on a variety of tracks, variety of conditions, and a variety of vehicles. Even though we may run the same track a few times, the vehicle class almost always changes. This helps to bring in a new challenge and keeps players from getting use to a certain criteria. When you become comfortable, you become weak every where else. Racing in a variety helps deviate that and keeps the racer on his/her toes.
