Slide to Success in New Drift Races with 2X Rewards

May 20, 2025

The sound of squealing tires and the acrid smell of smoking-hot rubber — the streets of Los Santos and Blaine County are being taken over by drift-happy racers. Slide your way to victory around three new Drift Races in GTA Online:

  • Go with the Flow — Give the denizens of Paleto Bay something legitimate to complain about by turning this quiet suburb into a hive of automotive activity.
  • Gang’s All Here — Fishtail in the ganglands of Rancho and avoid becoming a road-rage statistic.
  • Buckle Down — This track stretches from the Galileo Observatory to Downtown Vinewood. Whatever vehicular chaos is unleashed between Point A and Point B is entirely up to you.

Drift Upgrades for Three Vehicles and Double Rewards

The Drift Tuning Upgrade is now available for three new vehicles at the LS Car Meet: the Dinka Jester Classic (Sports), Karin Futo (Sports), and RUNE Cheburek (Sports Classic, 30% off).

Maintain control around corners, avoid collisions and obstacles, and rack up huge combos en route to Drift deity status in Drift Races to earn 2X GTA$ and RP (stacking to 4X for GTA+ Members) this week. Slide into the action by speaking to the Race Organizer at the LS Car meet, or via your iFruit with an eligible LS Car Meet Membership.

Participate in any three Drift Races to complete the new Weekly Challenge and earn a GTA$100,000 prize purse.

2X GTA$ and RP on Running Back

Running Back returns to the Featured Series, turning local roads into a makeshift gridiron where Attackers and Defenders attempt to reach the opposition’s end zone at risk of life and limb. Whichever side you’re on, you’ll roll away with 2X GTA$ and RP after the final whistle.

Bonuses on Exotic Exports

Once you’ve purchased an Auto Shop and proven you’re on the level, you can help KDJ, Sessanta, and their unnamed client by stealing vehicles listed out on the blackboard in your Auto Shop’s mezzanine — Exotic Exports pay out Double Rewards this week.

Celebrate the Year of the Snake for a final week —  shed yesteryear like an old skin and embrace the fresh and new by logging in to receive the Black Snake Yogarishima OutfitRed Serpent Leather JacketSnake Soul PendantSnake King PendantRed Snake Soul Cap, and Gray Snake King Cap.

3X GTA$ and RP on the Community Series

Throw yourself headfirst into the wonderful creations of fellow players and reap Triple Rewards on a new batch of Community Series Jobs, ranging from Hotring-style stock car racing to a chaotic face-to-face Transform Race — and a couple of modes that’ll help you get in the romantic mood before Valentine’s Day.

This sky-high raceway could be dangerous for reckless drivers — keep your vehicle on the track and foot on the pedal to secure victory.

Drafting is essential to overtake competitors on the long straightaways in this Hotring-inspired Stunt Race, but daring drivers can use the jumps and boosts to sail over opponents and into the lead.

Breathe in the sea air as you zoom around GP Agua — an Open Wheel track located above the waters near the coastline of Vespucci Beach.

This Transform Race ups the chaos factor with the addition of numerous boosts and some creative transformation choices — including one that will have you run the gauntlet on foot.

Don’t let the pink decor fool you, this Team Deathmatch is as deadly as it is fetching. Take cover behind the many low walls or climb over them to get the jump on adversaries.

This Team Deathmatch is a perfect Valentine’s Day companion, matching a fitting color palette with mood lighting and neon. Use grenades to push opponents out from behind cover or equip a shotgun with explosive rounds to send them reeling.

Follow the illuminated props and signs in this nighttime Stunt Race suspended above the sea. Keep your eyes peeled and your reflexes sharp to master the technical twists and turns.
