Sprint Races (Tuners)

Overview

Sprint is a street race type for 2 to 4 players added on July 20, 2021, with the Los Santos Tuners update. It requires an LS Car Meet membership and is started from inside the Car Meet with a personal vehicle, in any Free Mode lobby.

How it works

A player opens the Interaction Menu to start a Sprint, which sends an invite to every other Car Meet member in the session. As soon as one person accepts, a 30-second countdown leaves room for two more. Racers are moved to the start at the Tractor Parts warehouse on Popular Street, and a random destination is chosen: the Vinewood Sign, Elysian Island, Stab City, LSIA, the Kortz Center, Galileo Observatory or the Palmer-Taylor Power Station.

Players can take any route to the single checkpoint. A GPS route is shown but is optional. They then race back to the finish outside the Car Meet. Racers can collide with each other but are ghosted to everyone else in the lobby. Special vehicle abilities are disabled, though Arena War mines still work. The race ends when the leader finishes, with the other places decided by distance to the line.

Tips

• Learn shortcuts to each destination. The GPS line is rarely the fastest.
• Fast, nimble tuner cars do well in the city traffic.
