Weekly Event (6th Feb 2025) - Drift to Success with New Drift Races, New Drift-Tunable Vehicles, Bonuses on Drift Races, Exotic Exports, New Community Series & More!

[Spider-Vice]

This week and until 12th February, the LS Car Meet has conjured up three new drift events with the introduction of three new Drift Races, alongside bonuses across all of those. Three new vehicles will also be seeing drift tuning added to them, plus bonuses on Exotic Exports, LS Tags, Running Back, a new Community Series and more!

Déjà Vu - New Drift Races and Bonuses, Plus New Drift-Tunable Vehicles

Folks at the LS Car Meet have allegedly been blasting the one and only "Déjà Vu" at high volume, but no one really clocked why. That is until now - three brand-new Drift Races will be added to the roster of officially sanctioned Drift Races, which will see racers and enthusiasts going out to touch some grass. Confused? I just mean Paleto Bay, the Galileo Observatory - and one close to the homebase in Rancho. To celebrate the launch of these new races, they'll be offering double the cash on all Drift Races, plus quadruple for those who are enrolled in Los Santos' premium club.

The LS Car Meet doesn't sleep however, and to prepare, they're also introducing drift tuning to three more vehicles!

 

• 2x GTA$ and RP on All Drift Races (4x for GTA+ Members)
  • New Drift Races:
    • Go With the Flow
    • Gang's All Here
    • Buckle Down
• New Drift Tunable Vehicles:
  • Dinka Jester Classic
  • Karin Futo (non-GTX)
  • RUNE Cheburek

Lunar New Year Celebrations Continue, New Community Series, Tag Up Turf for Double, Help with Exotic Exports plus Play Panto Football in Running Back

Back in the 90's, folks would probably tell you about the tale of two brothers who ran across the old neighbourhood of Idlewood and tagged up the entire place to intimidate the legacy generation of the Ballas. Now in the 2020's, a lot of things have changed and nobody knows what happened to the brothers, but the one thing that didn't change is how tagged Los Santos is. You may not be contributing to a gang now, rather channeling a little bit of your cyberpunk anti-corporation self and tagging over corporate billboards, but still, you're still sticking it to somebody - this week, you can do that for double rewards.

Meanwhile, Terminal is expected to see an uptick in random sports vehicles being delivered to its cranes, as those managing vehicle exports out of Los Santos are doing it for double as well. Find random Exotic Exports across town, bring them to the docks, and earn extra cash. Sadly, no extra LS Car Meet rep this time.

If none of this is enough to distract you from everything, a brand-new Community Series is coming with the usual triple rewards, plus you can take it to the roads and play... Panto Football perhaps...? with bonuses on Running Back.

 

• 3x GTA$ and RP on the New Community Series
• 2x GTA$ and RP on LS Tags
• 2x GTA$ and RP on Exotic Exports
• 2x GTA$ and RP on Running Back

 

----------------------

 

Lunar New Year bonuses and rewards continue as it's still celebrated all across the state:

• New Lunar New Year Stunt Races
  • Play any Lunar New Year Stunt Race to receive the limited-time livery for the Maibatsu Penumbra FF
  • 2x GTA$ and RP on the New Lunar New Year Races
• New Yuanbao Collectibles
  • Collect all 36 Yuanbao to receive the Gold Snake Santo Capra Outfit
• Log-in any time until 12th February to receive:
  • Black Snake Yogarishima Outfit
  • Red Serpent Leather Jacket
  • Snake Soul Pendant
  • Snake King Pendant
  • Red Snake Soul Cap
  • Gray Snake King Cap

Miscellaneous

FIB Priority File

Every week, Jodi Marshall finds a special opportunity for those enrolled in her machinations at Lester's old Garment Factory. They pay better, and you still stop whatever CEO, mogul or military outfit from doing their thing! The current active Priority FIB file is The Project Breakaway File

 

Salvage Yard Vehicles & Robberies

Each week, Jamal and Yusuf Amir find some brand-new vehicles for you to source for your Chop Shop, and for Jamal to perhaps plaster all over Snapmatic and other social media. This week, check out the following propositions:

• The Duggan Robbery: Pfister Neon

• The Gangbanger Robbery: Enus Paragon R

• The Podium Robbery: Lampadati Corsita

 

The Diamond Casino & Resort Lucky Wheel

"Shh! Felipe, do you see that?" Yes, yes he does, as the Amirs are once again snooping around the garage for one of the future podium vehicles. With no time to lock everything down, it's yet another nightmare our favourite valet has to go through with everyone who breaks into his house, then into the casino. At this point it's nothing they're not used to alongside the other robberies...

Meanwhile, in the shrine of overspending (aka The Diamond), at its Lucky Wheel, it's time to gamble with luck, pray to any deities you believe in or perform usual rituals and divinations for a chance to win a quite sleek looking Lampadati Komoda.

 

Los Santos Car Meet Prize Ride

This week, the Car Meet continues to deliver, this time with the aforementioned new Drift Races and the ability to tune three new vehicles with Drift tyres. Any uptick in enthusiasts using the services will always be appreciated, and everybody from Hao to Mimi and even KDJ will be there to receive you.

Meanwhile on top of the Slamtruck, things get super quick with one of the best cars Britain has given to the Car Meet. Be relatively okay at racing and you can experience it all by yourself:

• Place Top 3 in the LS Car Meet Series for 3 days in a row to win the Progen Itali GTB.

 

For testing and/or buying this week:

• Vapid FMJ (R)

• Annis Savestra

• Übermacht SC1 (R)

But it's already over for most people so...

[Moonshine Wagon Fan]

The Vapid FMJ is worth buying.  Lovely car.

[Standard Deluxe 59]

Another crummy week?

Drift Lada's cool I guess but I'd have preferred the Uranus. 

[Moonshine Wagon Fan]

I wouldn't like to be around AUScowboy when he finds there is no Uranus this week 

[Arrows to Athens]

Mid week. Where are the bonuses on OG contact missions? Come on, man! I live for the day we get triple bonuses on ALL contact missions. 

[solitudinarian]

ooh now i'm glad i waited with buying the cheburek. its so cute gives me nostalgic vibes. used to see a few of them still around in the 90s here. The Ladas I mean

 

Double on tags is a win for burnouts like me lol. But the rest....eh.

Guess I'll keep on keeping on for another week.

I still want my 2x Auto Shop robbery and Dr. Dre contract.

[Tez2]

Is the "Returning Adversary Modes" bit new? They cycled out Overtime Rumble for the new Lunar Year races without featuring a new adversary mode.

[Tocco Scuro]

Uranus next week because Valentine's Day? Anus? Valentine? Are you getting it? 
 

[GTA Hurricane]

I'm hoping that there will be some good community races to farm RP to get me to rank 1200, but otherwise this is a rather bland week.

 

If last week was 2x customer cars and this week is 2x exotic exports, then I wonder if next week will be 2x auto shop contracts? We'll see...

[Lexiture]

mid week. hoping for some cool gta+ stuff

Free early access Uranus would save this week for me.

The Cheburek seems to have different suspension heights front and rear in drift mode

In my post specifically yes, in the info drops no - I've just usually presented it in a different way, just testing adding it in its own short section instead.

I see. Thanks for the clarification. I initially assumed it meant R* was guaranteeing an adversary mode every week from now on.

[Rammer2k]

Rockstar sure is drift feeding this dlc so far.  I guess the new hanger wont be for another few months.

[Salty_Yote aka SeaWallTx]

Damn

[Filip]

Cool week as always. Enjoy it, guys. I see that for you, this one is probably a bit better than the previous.

New Hanger/Guzman stuff will probably be March 6 with the next gta+ stuff, just like the last two years of the second half of DLC drip feeds

The new hanger has already been released. It's inside your garnement property, the cloth closet

While the new hangar, they still keep us hanging on for it
