Don't incorporate everything you might learn here in your racing at the same time. Make sure you are comfortable with everything I mention in a level before moving on with the next level. Everyone else can probably skip level 0 and start with level 1, where I start with the GTA specific aspects. If you are new to racing in general, you should start with level 0 and make sure you got the basic understanding how to go fast around a track in a car regardless of the environment, be it real life, Project Cars or GTA Racing. I have separated every aspect into different skill levels, so you can learn everything about the game step-by-step. This guide obviously focusses on the knowledge part of GTA racing, since you won't gain experience or talent while reading this.

GTA V is not a racing simulation, it's more arcade, but there are a lot of details, you might want to know, which make you go faster or slower.

Knowledge about the game, the cars, the tracks, the game physics and so on is also an important factor. With more experience you can anticipate earlier and better what might happen next and react accordingly to get the overtake done or avoid the crash. The better your opponents are the quicker you will gain experience. Driving your car as close as possible to the limit without losing control, crashing or ruining your crew mates' race.Įxperience you will gain over time by practicing and driving under competitive racing conditions. Talent is the ability to execute everything you know and learned without mistakes under pressure. So please don't complain that this summary is too long or ask for a tl dr.īeing successful in GTA racing comes down to three things: talent, experience and knowledge. The knowledge summarized in this post is gained by thousands of hours of testing, comparing and investigating by the various sources of the GTA Racing Community. I tried my best not to include any dubious sources, instead using the findings of well-known, experienced GTA racers like Broughy1322 himself, gun1t123 or peecarnoo. You will still have to watch most of the videos, but I at least researched the good and important ones and figured out a somewhat helpful order to watch them.

Instead of searching through tons of forum posts or YouTube videos you will find everything you need in this post. In this post I will provide a pretty complete guide of everything you need to know about racing in GTA Online and some lingo we use at NoDo.
