GTA 5 Online players will today be able to jump into a whole, new season of racing updates which brings with it fresh vehicles.
Rockstar Games unveiled the GTA Online: Southern San Andreas Super Sport Series today in a blog post.
The DLC brings with it two new racing modes, the first of which is available now and includes five new cars.
These cars are the Taipan, Declasse Hotring Sabre, Entity XXR, Vapid GB200 and the Vulcar Fagaloa. More vehicles will be added in the weeks to follow.
The Declasse Hotring Sabre will be the star of the new GTA 5 Online Hotring Circuit mode.
In a press release, Rockstar Games described this as a “homage” to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City’s classic Hotring.
Hotring was the name of a side mission in Vice City, where players took control of the Hotring Racer in a stock-car race.
It was recently claimed that GTA 6 will take place in Vice City, with a release date rumoured for 2022.
And the inclusion of the Hotring may leave fans hoping that Rockstar Games has more Vice City themed content lined up its sleeves.
GTA 5 Online players who take part in the Hotring Circuit mode will also be able to earn double GTA$ & RP up to March 26.
Outlining the new Hotring circuit mode, Rockstar Games said: “There’s nothing more American than strapping yourself inside of the highly combustible turbo-charged death machine that is the new Declasse Hotring Sabre and tearing around a multi-lap track designed for up to 30 adrenaline-addicted maniacs.
“Embrace the intoxicating smell of burnt rubber and premium-grade gasoline across 10 stock car races made for the new Hotring Sabre, and get Double GTA$ & RP now through March 26th.”
Then, from April 3 the new Target Assault mode will go live in GTA 5 Online.
This is “a frantic race for up to 8 teams of 2 players each, where Gunners are tasked with destroying targets to score points from a mounted gun, while the Drivers outmaneuver the opposition for further points on each lap”.
Then on May 1 Special Vehicle Races will 10 vehicles from The Doomsday Heist.
While from May 29 seven new Transform Races will be added to GTA Online.
Discounts on vehicle upgrades and properties have also become available. They are as follows:
