No new races for compacts, coupes and SUVs? Well ok...I'm nor really sure why I was even hopeful or those classes anyway.

 

No new races for karts too, yes?

 

I won't even bother to turn on the console then

Well the races themselfs are pretty fun. They should've made an open-wheel class stuntrace. Super Mario Kart style races sound so much fun!

I don't want to get your hopes up but R* might have created new props for go-kart races, and so they could only be part of a DLC.

OW cars don't work that well on stunt races because their spoilers can come off easily at bigger jumps and even in tubes because they can clip through the floor when bouncing up and down.

 

Also their insane downforce figures makes it impossible for them to complete bigger stunt jumps.

They could at least create some land races locked to the karts, without these new props though.

 

Unless they're planning to move the karts into a new category of vehicle.

Interesting, the new off road stunt race has custom vehicles options for restricted and off. Restricted disables bikes but I'm not sure if off disables bikes too.

Is that new?

[guppybunz]

Is it just me, or do the servers feel empty today? With the new races and all, you would expect more people playing...

That's a fact, I mean how many hours can you keep playing the new races over and over. I don't even see the point playing them, they are races at the end of the day.

I rarely play race or adversary jobs in GTA. I get my enjoyment out of either PvP or helping out my friends/randoms wilth their sell missions. Some people get their enjoyment out of the GTA races and do them 24/7, while the other likes to mess around in freemode. GTAO is so big that it has something in store for everyone i guess.

The "restricted" option has been present as an option for custom races in a few years by now, in fact you can even limit the custom races to restricted PVs only on the creator, so the host can't enable to allow all personal vehicles outside the restricted ones.

 

If I'm not mistaken there's an off-road land race from those old "race series" that also has bikes disabled.

That would be pretty pointless as the OW cars have such weird physics that they don’t handle getting air good at all (probably due to having front as well as rear aero). Plus the wings would smash apart every time you land a jump, I’ve tried jumping them in the OW creator and it always destroys the wings. Hopefully we get a kart creator so we can make some actual fun Mario Kart type races.

So the world record times don't update that quickly. I've done 4 laps on all of the tracks (minus the offroad point-to-point race), and managed to rank up from 2087 to 2093. That's about 500.000 RP! That triple WR RP-boost REALLY makes a big difference.

Mad innit, lol. Only done a few but RP is starting to soar.

I got from 1538 to 1540 i did like 5/6 before i needed leave for work it's a Nice boost, and RV nearly there is waiting for me...good week for crazy rp Grinders 

[ACR]

Well these stunt racers are decent for rp grind, but even on triple payout is low compared to client jobs that were double last week. One would had to be in top 3 to get around 30k and thats nothing in this game plus you can't always reach top spots in every race. On the other hand from what i've seen even bottom positions would get around 2-3k rp which is not that bad for 2 lap race.

I think they can do some change on car race.

1. Bring npc to the race, this can make ppl more willing to stay in a empty/half full rooms better.

2.Lead the rank and show it to player so they have a target (mean, average , sth like reasonable time +1 +2,-1,-2......)

3. All racers receive gta $ by performance.(Reasonable time= normal, under reasonable time =more money, but 0 dollar for those finish race with illogical time ) 1st to 5th receive bonus gta dollars.  

 

Anyway I am not a race guy.

I like heist more

[Neonchu]

Was just thinking about this twitter thread that WildBrick142 posted a little while after the LS Summer Special update had been released when I thought of something:

 

What if Cargobob5 has something to do with the heist missions that are going to be featured in the new update? I'm not sure what they could physically change about the current cargobob to make it suitable for the heist (unless it's a newer version altogether) but I think it's still a possibility.

 

We already have Seasparrow2 (Regular Sparrow we have stored in the Kosatka), and Surfer3 is apparently pretty much complete (a Benny's version, which would fit into the update's theme of car culture) but has some suspension clipping issues that need to be fixed, so could there be a slim chance we'll see both of them this update?

We could be seeing a new type of cargobob or the skylift in the DLC. There is a chance we need to haul or steal the new tuner cars via containers to a certain location in order for them to be sold for example. 

 

A Chinook in general would be dope.

Tried to host a new race, nobody joined, quited. Then joined one of the new races on invitation, 3 players.  After this more people joined. Afterall impression: NEW DLC will be a failure, GTAO has neither an active race nor car community, kids slaughtering each other in free roam, more you can't expect from GTAO, game is more or less dead.

Wrong, plenty of active racing communities, but you will not find them by hosting random jobs. They organize their events to avoid the immature players you mention.

No reason to think that's impossible. Although given what Cargobob5 may have been intended for given what it was supposed to be a part of, maybe not if it doesn't have any worthwhile functionality that would be tied into this upcoming update? After all, R* said that these would be "multi-part robberies", I imagine they say that kinda like how the business side of Import/Export is "multi-part", i.e. Source mission -> Sell mission.

 

I reckon the gameplay loop will be;

- Pay setup cost, the target and it's location will be RNG, (A Fleeca Bank, a Gruppe Sechs hit, etc.), perform basic scope out mission, probably just take a photo of location.

- Freeroam - Source a car(s) to use as the getaway vehicle(s) - i.e. one of the cars that arrive with the update.

- Freeroam - Optional side missions; Source or buy upgrades for the getaway car(s)

- Closed Lobby - 1 - 4 Players Finale

 

With this, it keeps the "test drive" game design that R* have tried to keep in each DLC since I/E to intice people to buy the new stuff as Personal Vehicles.

 

These will NOT pay anything like or be of the same scale as the Casino Heist or Cayo Perico Heist given a shorter gameplay loop, because R* aren't referring to these as Heists, even though they probably could call them The Getaway Heists or something similar. I'm guessing these'll be somewhere inbetween Client Jobs & the Fleeca Job, but more ram-raid & haste in the approach rather than logistics & gadgets.

So how do I become part of the GTAO car community which is what I wanted in the first place?
