Preliminary information
Before going into the details of the procedure on how to search for races in GTA Online, I think it might interest you to know more about this possibility.
Well, you must know that the GTA 5 online mode allows you to play different types of races: those made directly by Rockstar and those created by passionate. The former, in general, represent fun and quality activities, while for the latter you have to go a little bit by luck.
Despite this, as indeed happens for any self-respecting video game, among the many competitions made by the community there are also some "pearls". In addition, fans can also keep a title "alive" for a long time following its publication, just think of the huge world of mods that revolves around video games like Minecraft and Fallout 4, just to name two.
GTA Online, however, in some ways distances itself from the world of mods, given that it is a title in which you constantly play in contact with other players and therefore the use of content created by the community could potentially create some "headaches. ". As I explained to you in my guide dedicated to how to drift in GTA, if you really want to make use of mods, you should only consider the Story mode.
Despite this, Rockstar has been very adept over the years to add official content and implement as it should those made by community. On the other hand, GTA 5 was released back in 2013, but GTA Online is still on the "crest of the wave". The reason is certainly to be found also in the large amount of content available.
GTA Online is therefore a virtuous example for the gaming industry, which demonstrates how it is possible to create a quality online video game capable of "accompanying" players for many years, keeping up with the times and without letting "go" too much in terms. of content created by the community.
Speaking of the amount of content, the races that can be carried out on GTA Online are the most diverse: they range from races on two wheels a water competitions, passing through those land, Those stunt and so on and so forth, put more. In short, the variety in terms of gameplay is guaranteed.
In any case, I remind you that to access the online mode of GTA 5 it is necessary to have one Internet connection and, in the case of consoles, a active subscription to play online. Indeed, on PlayStation 4 e PlayStation 5 you must have the PlayStation Plus while on platform Xbox you must have an Xbox Live Gold subscription.
