Off-Road Races

Overview

Off-Road Races are a Hobbies and Pastimes activity in GTA V. They unlock after Mr. Philips through a text from Ron. Unlike Hao's street races, any of the three protagonists can take part. Each race unlocks the next one. Four use motorcycles or ATVs, such as the Sanchez and Blazer, and two use off-road trucks and SUVs, such as the Mesa and Patriot. Players can bring their own modified vehicle if it matches the race class. Otherwise one is provided at the start. A medal in all six counts toward 100% completion.

Walkthrough

1. Canyon Cliffs: from Raton Canyon near the Pacific toward the Alamo Sea, on bike or ATV.
2. Ridge Run: from Galileo Road in Great Chaparral to Route 68, in an SUV or pickup.
3. Mineward Spiral: a bike or ATV race around Davis Quartz, open only between 20:00 and 03:00.
4. Valley Trail: along Cassidy Creek from the Alamo Sea back to the start of Canyon Cliffs.
5. Lakeside Splash: from Marina Drive in Sandy Shores along the Alamo Sea shore to Grapeseed.
6. Eco Friendly: a truck race with tight turns through the RON Alternates Wind Farm.

Tips

• Bring a tuned personal bike or truck of the right class for better speed than the vehicle provided.
• Threatening other racers, leaving the race or wrecking your vehicle fails the event.
• Plan around the time window for Mineward Spiral.

Rewards and unlocks

• $500 for each race win.
• The first win with each protagonist unlocks the Moto X outfit in their wardrobe.
