Online Races

A race is a type of game mode found in Grand Theft Auto Online where you have to compete with other players in being the first to get to the finish line using vehicles.

One race can be played by up to 29 (15 in previous versions of GTA V) but you can play a race alone to practice your driving skills and to memorize a certain course or map.

Races often gives rewards such as Job Points, Reputation Points, and even cash prizes. The good thing about a race is that a player will still be given rewards even if he/she didn’t win the race.
