'Grand Theft Auto Online' Adds Karin Hotring Everon, Hotring Circuit Races And More, Los Santos Drug Wars Conclusion Next Week

by Rainier on March 9, 2023 @ 8:42 a.m. PST

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.

When a young street hustler, a retired bank robber and a terrifying psychopath find themselves entangled with some of the most frightening and deranged elements of the criminal underworld, the U.S. government and the entertainment industry, they must pull off a series of dangerous heists to survive in a ruthless city in which they can trust nobody, least of all each other.

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.

Grand Theft Auto V also comes with Grand Theft Auto Online, the dynamic and ever-evolving online universe for up to 30 players, and includes all existing gameplay upgrades and content released since the launch of Grand Theft Auto Online.

Rise through the ranks to become a CEO of your own criminal empire by trading contraband or form a Motorcycle Club and rule the streets. Pull off daring co-operative Heists, enter adrenaline-fueled Stunt Races, compete in unique Adversary Modes or create your own content to play and share with the entire GTA community.

The saga of GTA Online: Los Santos Drug Wars reaches its eye-popping conclusion with an explosion of hallucinations, kidnapping, and revenge in The Last Dose.

Reach the bottom of the rabbit hole in five new story missions, free for all GTA Online players, that reveal the mysterious connection between Los Santos’ illicit drug trade and the pharmaceutical industry, as Dr. Isiah Friedlander returns to the fray to wreak havoc in this mind-bending and twisted finale arriving March 16.  

Shift Into High Gear in the New Karin Hotring Everon, Available for a Limited Time

Plus, Shake and Bake the Competition in New Hotring Circuit Races 2023, Get 3X Rewards on Auto Shop Contracts and Client Jobs, and More

Karin Hotring Everon

The Karin Hotring Everon is a rugged dynamo of stock car racing, with enough torque to crack asphalt, the kind of exhaust pipes that score on the Richter scale, and only one speed … reckless.

This Sports class vehicle roars into the Southern San Andreas Super Autos inventory — but it is only available through March 15.

New Hotring Circuit Races 2023

The beauty of stock car racing is that the winner isn’t always the one with the fastest car. It’s the driver who refuses to lose. Make your sponsors proud by competing on the new Hotring Circuit 2023 tracks and earn 3X GTA$ and RP. Avoid The Big One and place Top 3 in any of the new races listed below this week to receive a GTA$100,000 bonus (delivered within 72 hours of completion).

  • Waterway: The health board wishes to remind participants that they accept no legal liability for any gastrointestinal symptoms resulting from bodily contact with the Cypress Flats water system. If the untreated sewage doesn’t turn your stomach, the rapid figure of eight just might.
  • Palmer-Taylor: As you sit breathing in more carcinogens per cubic foot than you’ll get anywhere else in the state, staring at the poorly reinforced track and lack of key safety barriers, keep in mind you waive your legal rights when you turn the ignition. Now get your head in the game.
  • Bolingbroke Bowl: Inmates at Bolingbroke Penitentiary can now reflect on their misdeeds to the meditative ambience of 30 juiced-up Hotringers tearing up the asphalt right outside. Sucks to be them, because there’s no better way to flaunt your freedom than running rings around Cell Block 9.
  • Arcadius: You know you’ll do anything to liven up the nine-to-five. Like buckling into a Hotring stock car and careering through the twelfth story window of your biggest industry competitor screaming “how’s that for market penetration??” and watching the stock tank in real time.
  • Altruist Camp: Try blowing out your speedometer above the Chiliad Mountain State Wilderness. When you feel your wheels spin 50 feet above the track, lust for life is guaranteed. Plus, your life expectancy is several minutes longer than the average Altruist down below.
  • Fort Zancudo: Want to barrel roll a Lazer but worried about your insurance premiums? All you need to recreate the experience is a busted Hotring Everon, a clear runway, and a cockpit full of misplaced confidence. Get ready to fry every military radar from here to San Chianski.

3X GTA$ and RP on Auto Shop Client Jobs

Make an honest living by swinging by the mod bay of your Auto Shop and customizing vehicles to your clients’ specific requests. Take risks and veer off-menu at your own risk, with all completed Client Jobs will pay out 3X the usual GTA$ and RP.

Once you’ve proven your legitimacy and wiped the grease off your mitts, scope out the Job Board outside your Auto Shop’s office to peruse Robbery Contracts — and receive 3X GTA$ and RP for completing Robbery Contract Finales through March 15.

3X GTA$ and RP on Exotic Exports

Auto Shops (coincidentally 40% off this week) also provide access to Exotic Exports — a daily list of recoverable vehicles throughout the city. Deliver any of the Exotic Exports listed on the blackboard inside your Auto Shop to earn 3X GTA$ and RP.

2X GTA$ and RP on Sumo

Sumo is a game of simple, effective strategies: Smash enemies head-on, or dodge oncoming foes to force them out of the designated area and remain the last one standing. Win or lose, drivers will walk away with Double Rewards, all week long.

New Community Series Additions

Take part in the Community Series to experience some of the best Jobs on offer from the GTA Online Creator community. The Community Series now pays out 2X GTA$ and RP, and seven new Jobs have been added to the series:

Meanwhile, drivers who weave in and out of detours to place in the Top 5 in Street Races for three days in a row will get their hands on the Canis Seminole Frontier (SUVs), a formidable presence both on and off the road.

Spin the Lucky Wheel in the lobby of The Diamond Casino & Resort to win prizes, including the BF Club (Compact) — the automotive equivalent of a psychedelic flashback.
