GTA V RP community raises over $40,000 and creates in-game tribute to Blue622

The Grand Theft Auto V role-playing community has raised well over $40,000 and left a fitting tribute in the NoPixel server to Kenny 'Blue622' Tancredi, who died unexpectedly earlier this week at the age of 30.

Blue622 was credited with popularising the NoPixel server and GTA V role-playing in general after introducing top streamers such as Jaryd 'Summit1g' Lazar to it. The news of his death sent shockwaves through the role-playing community, but they have rallied to raise over $40,000 on a GoFundMe page that will go towards a memorial monument for his gravesite, with the rest being passed on to "others in Kenny's memory." This included a $5,000 donation from Summit1g.

To commemorate Blue622, GTA V players gathered at the location of his house in the NoPixel server. A Reddit post also shows that the developers of the server have coded Blue622's character model and car to be outside the house permanently in his memory.

The fastest bikes in GTA 5

Are you struggling to pick up podium placements in Grand Theft Auto 5 motorcycle races? You're not alone. Learning what to pick in the vehicle selection screen of a GTA Online race is difficult enough, especially if custom vehicles are enabled.

But it doesn't have to be hard. We all know that one wrong selection can lead to a pretty rough race, so if you're clever enough to do your research to find out what the fastest bikes in GTA 5 actually are, you're more likely to have more successful races.

There's a lot to think about, though. While you might be tempted to opt for a bike based on its in-game stats or how quickly you think it can do 0-60mph, it's worth considering other factors, like handling and traction too. So with all of that in mind, here are the fastest bikes in GTA 5, based on their top speed, lap times, and price.

Although the news of official GTA 5 car meets is enough to get excited about, Rockstar has also announced it's introducing 17 more vehicles into the game, and boy, do they look great. The first ten will drop with the event launch on July 20 and include some tasty import tuner cars, with the following seven to be dropped later this summer.

But that's not all. These cars, which already sound like they're pretty speedy, can be upgraded exclusively by Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 players when the GTA 5 upgrade is released later this year.

GTA 5 car meets: everything you need to know about the new Los Santos Tuners event

Grand Theft Auto 5 is now eight years old, and during that time, players have built up an impressive collection of cars. From the slick super cars to the drop dead gorgeous classics, GTA 5 players have spent an obscene amount of money on pimping their cars - and they naturally want to show them off.

Introducing GTA 5 car meets. Up until now, car meets in Los Santos have been happening in an unofficial capacity, allowing petrolheads to come together to show off their latest upgrades. However, since these are unofficial events, players have either had to go in passive mode or risk having their entire line up blown up by someone in a Hydra.

But the risk of attending one of these events has been lowered with the upcoming GTA Online Summer Event. Rockstar's next update for the game includes the Los Santos Car Meet, giving fans a proper way of channeling their inner Fast and Furious.
