Grand Theft Auto V Legacy News

The Los Santos racing circuit is roaring with the sound of competing engines this week. Enjoy the thrill of controlled chaos in Drift and Drag Races, which exemplify the yin and the yang of high-octane racing in GTA Online, along with other fan-favorite racing modes, each with the monetary incentives to match.

Complete successful drifts amidst the frenzy of adversarial racers and obstacles on your way to the finish line for a satisfying victory in Drift Races.

Both Drift Races and Drag Races will be paying out Double Rewards through March 6.

Drift and Drag Races are accessible by talking to the Race Organizer inside the LS Car Meet or through your iFruit with an eligible LS Car Meet Membership.
