Everything to know about Street Races and Pursuit Races
Street Races are very similar to standard races, where the first car to cross the finish line is declared the winner. However, the path between the start and finish lines is dictated by the game via checkpoints.
Rockstar Games has added the following Street Races to GTA Online:
- Back at the Rancho
- Beachfront Runner
- Country Pursuits
- High Society
- Home Street Home
- The Business End
- Up Your Alley
Going through all checkpoints is mandatory to successfully finish a Street Race. You can also take Secondary Routes, which are basically pre-determined shortcuts.
While Pursuit Races also have a start and finish line, there is a catch. Once you pass the first checkpoint, you will attain a Wanted Level, which increases gradually.
These are the names of all Pursuit Races in Grand Theft Auto Online:
- A Real Education
- Get Trucked
- Good Bet
- Groving
- Industrial Action
- It's Terminal
- Join the Club
Cops ramming into your cars can make these races quite challenging, so you will constantly have to be on the lookout for approaching police vehicles.
Along with the Los Santos Car Meet Races, Rockstar has raised payouts for Taxi Work and certain Auto Shop-related jobs as well. These can be quite fun to grind while waiting for Grand Theft Auto 6.
