The latest GTA Online event is now live, and this week, Rockstar is celebrating the fastest races available in-game. The new GTA Online ‘Speed Week’ event is offering players double rewards for all open-wheel races, alongside triple on parachute races, and even some free vehicles.
The New GTA Online Speed Week Event
“Pedestrians, beware:” writes Rockstar; “keep an eye out for loose wheels and bits of flying chassis, would-be weekend warriors swerving through traffic, and plunging daredevils achieving terminal velocity – it’s Speed Week in Southern San Andreas.”
The headline feature of the GTA Online Speed Week event is that all rewards for Open Wheel races are doubled until the event ends on the 24th of June. However, that’s just one of the bonuses which apply in-game during the event. Not only are Parachute Races also offering triple rewards, but the salaries of Associates & Bodyguards have been tripled too. Plus, all VIP Work and Challenges in GTA Online are currently rewarding players with double GTA$ and RP.
The other standout offering from Speed Week is a small collection of vehicles which are currently available completely free. Rockstar typically includes a selection of vehicle discounts with events like this. However, making vehicles totally free is much more of a rarity. At present, players can acquire the BF Raptor, Principe Nemesis, Shitzu Hakuchou, and Nagasaki Hot Rod Blazer free of charge. Furthermore, the Coil Rocket Voltic, Itali GB, and Vapid Flash GT are all 40% off, while the Ocelot Stromberg is 35% off.
Finally, Speed Week includes a final set of discounts on a more generic part of GTA Online. Namely, the game’s Executive Offices and Large Special Cargo Warehouses. In the former category, Arcadius Business Center, Lombank West, Maze Bank Tower, and Maze Bank West are all 40% off. In the warehouse category, the Bilgeco Warehouse, Cypress Warehouse, Darnel Bros Warehouse, Logistics Depot, Walker & Sons Warehouse, West Vinewood Backlot, Wholesale Furniture, and Xero Gas Factory are all 50% off.
