It's here

BACKGROUND
Grand Theft Auto V is an open world, action-adventure video game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games. It was released on 17 September 2013 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles. It is the fifteenth title in the Grand Theft Auto series, and the first main entry since Grand Theft Auto IV was released in 2008.


SETTING
The narrative of the game follows three characters with interconnected stories. Michael De Santa is a retired former bank robber in his early forties who lives with his dysfunctional family on the proceeds of his former life in the upper-class suburb of Rockford Hills, based on Beverly Hills. Trevor Phillips, his former partner in crime, lives alone in a trailer in the desert of Blaine County, where his reckless and psychopathic behaviours are fuelled by drug addiction. Franklin Clinton makes a living in Vespucci Beach—based on Venice Beach—as a repo man for an unscrupulous Armenian car dealership. The three acquaintances are drawn into Los Santos' criminal underworld "in the pursuit of the almighty American dollar


RECEPTION
Grand Theft Auto V received universal critical acclaim. Many reviewers praised the story, presentation and open world gameplay. The Xbox 360 version of the game received 98/100 on Metacritic, making it the second-highest rated video game on the website (alongside Grand Theft Auto IV), beaten only by The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The PlayStation 3 version of the game received 97/100, making it the third-highest rated game on the website (alongside Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 and Grand Theft Auto III).

"Carbonizzarre"

Was going to go for that before but it's a sports car not a super car

In my case I need a sports car, got the Vacca for a super car which is very good fully modded, slightly lacking in top speed but has great handling.

Race payouts have gone to pot so now I will remain skint. And there are people driving round free mode in facking tanks who are untouchable whilst I'm still driving old bangers.

What really bugs me about racing is to win a race you need a souped up car but to soup up your car you need to win races which are impossible to win as someone always has a rocket.
If you win races on super it unlocks the upgrades or all types of car. Anyone fancy taking turns winning raves later? On xbox

Best way is to host your own, and set custom vehicles to off. That way it's a fairer contest.

Or go on a track called Criminal records which is a lottery a lot of the time as it's just an oval track.

Didn't think of that! I have a pretty much standard Vacca (has whatever I have unlocked) but it's useless in a race.
Seriously sickened they didn't release the heist function (rumours of a casino heist) for online. Thought it would be in the beachbum dlc

Vacca is too slow, Entity is the fastest super car but I can't afford it.
