'Grand Theft Auto Online' (ALL) Update Adds Special Vehicle Circuit Races, Double GTA$ & RP, Discounts

by Rainier on May 1, 2018 @ 10:32 a.m. PDT

Set in the sprawling city of Los Santos and the surrounding area, Grand Theft Auto V delivers a world of unprecedented scale and detail bursting with life, from mountaintops to the depths of the ocean.

Switch between the interconnected lives of Michael, Trevor and Franklin as they embark on a series of heists across Los Santos and Blaine County in the biggest, deepest and richest open world experience yet, with game world enhancements that include new wildlife, upgraded weather and damage effects, and an array of new details to discover.

The new generation upgrades also extend to Grand Theft Auto Online, an ever-evolving Grand Theft Auto universe. Rise through the criminal ranks by banding together to complete Jobs for cash, purchase properties, vehicles and character upgrades, compete in traditional competitive modes, or create your own content to play and share with the Grand Theft Auto community.

All new content and gameplay created since the launch of Grand Theft Auto Online, including an extensive array of new Jobs, an arsenal of new weapons, scores of new vehicles, new properties and player customizations will also be available for the PS4, Xbox One and PC with much more to come. In addition, the current community of players will have the ability to transfer their Grand Theft Auto Online characters and progression to their choice of PS4, Xbox One or PC.

The next saga in the Southern San Andreas Super Sport Series is now available to players.

Featuring dedicated Imponte Deluxo, Ocelot Stromberg, and Mammoth Thurster races in a brand new stunt racing-inspired format, the Special Vehicles Circuit Races will also be delivering Double GTA$ & RP until May 7th.

New Special Vehicle Circuit Races

You might think you’ve mastered every concept car and experimental prototype the showrooms of Los Santos have to offer. But the truth is that in the fine art of hovercar, jetpack, and submersible racing there’s only one way to turn pro. Beat the best in this new batch of fiendish Special Vehicle Circuit Races for the Imponte Deluxo, Ocelot Stromberg & Mammoth Thruster, and you’ll have nothing left to prove.

Here's a rundown of all the new Special Vehicle Circuit Races now available to play, with links to bookmark each of them on Social Club for quick and easy access:

Imponte Deluxo Races

  • Stadium Flyover: The whole stadium is on its feet waiting for the all-American finale: a low-level flyover by levitating sports cars. 
  • Raton Race: Raton Canyon is the kind of rugged terrain that makes any red-blooded adrenaline junkie reach for their climbing boots— or the keys to their flying car.
  • Cresting: Whether you're driving, surfing the waves, soaring above the mountains, or doing all the above in your Deluxo - there's nothing quite like the San Andreas coastline. 
  • Techno: This is no edible-fueled night in Los Santos - when your car takes off and starts flying, that's every bit as real as the psychedelic tunnels and rings of fire.

Ocelot Stromberg Races

  • Spindrift: As an underwater labyrinth strewn with naval mines gradually reveals itself, try to remember that every moment of paralyzed terror is a moment off your lap time. 
  • The Kraken: Fair warning. If you've ever had bad calamari, this one is probably not for you. 
  • Plunge: Every pro racer knows to keep a finger on submersible mode when there's suddenly no more track and you're soaring into the stratosphere with only the ocean as your landing pad. 

Mammoth Thruster Races

  • Vinewood Air Tours: Welcome to the high life— the neon glow of the city, the Vinewood sign shining from the hills, 1,000 pounds of thrust roaring at your back and the prospect of horrifying mid-air collisions. 
  • Chiliad Drop: One minute you're soaring over the summit of Mount Chiliad, the next you're strafing into a cliff with only some rocket fuel and the promise of bragging rights to cushion the blow. 
  • FlyLo Challenge: The survival rate in a Los Santos road tunnel at rush hour could only get lower if road-raging maniacs ditched their cars and used jetpacks instead. But that would never happen. 
Double GTA$ & RP Bonuses

Through May 7th, earn Double GTA$ & RP in all 30 Rockstar Special Vehicle Races - that’s this week’s 10 brand new Races in Thrusters, Deluxos and Strombergs and all 20 of the original Rockstar Special Vehicle Circuit Races for the Blazer Aqua, Rocket Voltic & Ruiner 2000.

In addition, fire up your SecuroServ desktop from your Executive Office and earn Double GTA$ & RP in all Special Vehicle Work Missions through May 7th.
