The Story Behind Raycin
Raycin isn’t an off-the-shelf server. Almost everything you see — the racing, the track editor, the vehicle database, the live stats, the whitelist and the way it all talks to the website and Discord — was built and adapted in-house. Here’s how it fits together.
Raycin's tools — the website, the FiveM race engine, the track creator, the vehicle database, the stats system, the whitelist — all built and maintained solo. If you're racing here, KernowGlyn put it on the screen for you.
An independent GTA racing community
Raycin is a community for serious GTA street racing on FiveM — organised events, real competition and a crew that cares about clean racing. Rather than bolt together other people’s menus, we set out to build our own tools so the experience is exactly how we want it: fast, fair and properly joined-up between the game, the website and Discord.
Raycin Races
Our in-house racing system — a full competitive race platform built on a modern in-game interface.
- 12+ race modes: Circuit, Sumo & Sumo Remix, Pursuit (cops v racers), Drag, Drift, Cannonball, Elimination, Hot-Lap Challenge, Timed & Tournament brackets
- A host Vehicle Panel: staggered/fair starts, catch-up, slipstream, nitro, class limits, fuel & tyre wear, pit zones and per-lap vehicle transforms
- Saved vehicle builds, a garage & 3D showroom, leaderboards with RP / ELO / seasons, a Race Director, and an end-of-race podium + track rating
- Live results pushed straight to this website
Raycin Creator
Our custom track editor — build, test and publish race tracks entirely in-game.
- Checkpoint types (boost / slow / random vehicle), a configurable starting grid with a vehicle per slot
- A full prop browser (rotate / scale / height), a Fixture Remover to clear world objects, and placeable Fireworks
- Reusable Templates, Spooner / Menyoo XML import & export, and in-game thumbnail capture
- Save as a draft or publish straight to the lobby browser
Vehicles Database
Started as a standalone PHP app — we rebuilt it natively inside WordPress so every car is a real page.
- 915 GTA vehicles, each on its own real URL (e.g. /vehicles/…)
- Filter by class, manufacturer, tier, DLC & tags; full per-vehicle specs (top speed, lap time, drivetrain, seats …)
- Side-by-side compare, personal favourites, and proper images
- Search-engine ready with per-vehicle SEO & schema
Live Stats & Map
A live stats layer that reads straight from the race server and renders it on the site.
- Pages for servers, tracks, cars, lap times, live races, history, players, records & head-to-head
- Live race + server status pulled from the FiveM server in real time
- An interactive GTA map built on real Rockstar tiles
Whitelist & Roles
A role-based whitelist that the game and the website share — not always on, switchable per server mode.
- In-game enforcement with switchable modes (open to all → Drivers / Crew / Staff / Admin only) and a
/whitelistcommand - A branded application + status flow on the website that writes straight to the game database
- A live status indicator so players always know if the whitelist is on
Website ↔ Game ↔ Discord
The part that ties it all together — accounts, tiers and notifications that flow between every system.
- Free Member & Crew membership tiers, with whitelist approval auto-promoting you to Crew
- A self-service member panel showing your tier + whitelist status — no typing required
- Discord announcements via webhooks, an auto-blog drip publisher, and a live race ticker on the homepage
Every part of this — the resources, the apps, the integrations and the countless hours of fixing, tuning and rebuilding — was put together by the Raycin team. We’re proud of it, and we’re only getting started.
And we document all of it: the Raycin Help Centre is a full, searchable knowledge base — connecting & whitelisting, every race mode, the vehicle database, and proper step-by-step guides for building your own tracks in the Creator. One of the most complete help systems you’ll find for a FiveM racing community.
