In this article, VCGamers will show you the best tips and tricks to win GTA Online 2022 races.

How to Win GTA Online Races

Do you always lose when playing races in GTA Online? If so, then you have to apply some of the methods below.

Use Slipstreaming

Rockstar pays great attention to detail in GTA 5. Players can “Slipstream” during races, just like in real life.

During a race, if you are behind, try to keep the car behind your competitor until you see two white lines appear. Keeping the vehicle between the lines will allow it to move about 10 percent faster, allowing it to eventually overtake the leading car.

Slipstreaming is a real-life phenomenon that occurs when a car is behind another car on a straight road. The lead car generates circulation behind the car as it generates downforce, this creates a lower pressure area behind the car.

Get an Initial Push

There is a mechanic called Turbo Start at GTAOnline which gives the player a head start at the start of the race. The trick here is to have to hold down the accelerator during the race countdown, release when the “1” starts to fade, and only press it again as soon as the “Go” signal appears.

Doing this puts the vehicle into action as soon as the race starts, with added boost. Inexperienced players often fail to realize this and always get off to a bad start.

Avoid Crashing with Other Cars

While ramming may seem like a good idea at first and everyone thinks they can push the enemy into a crash with ease, this method usually backfires.

If the player attempts to tail another opponent by hitting their vehicle's bumper to the right or left, their car may also spin, destroying their momentum altogether. This creates an opening for other opponents to overtake. Try to avoid crashing if you are on the receiving end.

Avoid Obstacles

Apart from your opponent, you also need to pay attention to the road ahead and the various intricacies of the race track. The first 30 seconds are the most important, during which the player must avoid spin-outs or crashes at any cost.

Hitting the hurdles is more or less one of the main factors that influence the outcome of the race. By avoiding unnecessary collisions, players should be able to maintain their speed and win the race.

Choose a Good Car With High Acceleration

Top speed really isn't the most important thing during a race, acceleration is. The former only matter in straight races, and GTA Online races usually have twists and turns, which limits their potential a bit.

Besides that, car low acceleration suffers greatly if you crash into an obstacle, which leaves a much smaller margin for error. When choosing a car, try to get one with high acceleration and average top speed.
