Haha thanks :)

Maybe a dum question, what is/are the VIP/CEO missions?

Familiar with the heists, so I'll keep trying them :)
Most aren't worth the time. Only 3 I'd recommend are Headhunter, Sightseer, and Hostile Takeover.

Headhunter involves killing 4 VIP targets (they're a.i not humans). However these targets are guarded by...well guards. 2 VIPs are moving in a vehicle. The other 2 are stationary. You have 15 minutes to kill all 4. This pays out about 20K.

Sightseer is the easiest thing in the world. You have to use an app on your phone to find 3 packages. These packages aren't guarded so they're easy to collect. You have 15 minutes to collect all 3. Again, this pays roughly 20K.

Hostile Takeover involves killing a small group of enemies and collecting a briefcase. Be warned, once the briefcase is collected you will receive a wanted level. Deliver the briefcase in the time allotted to win. This pays about 16K (for me at least).
 
Well that's just annoying when tools knock you off the track as it's the only way they can win.

The rally point to point is the one of the best tracks along with the turbines one as they actually require you to do a bit of technical driving in some places. Really not a fan of the flat out dash tracks.

Was thinking i might put together a few 'rally los santos' stages i've been finding whilst driving the quattro around.
 

Man, i can't help but feel that the second(...and Fifth) front bumper on the Lynx was inspired by the Fiat Grande Punto more than a British sports car.
Despite this, i still find said bumper to look good. if not better because of the correlation.

If you do, share them with the rest of us. I've got a Sultan RS rally car and a brand new trophy truck in need of some dirt slinging.
 
Woke up to see the Rally Truck being a Pegasus? I find that unrealistic since it has 2 spawnable liveries.. ah well. I did have a hunch of it being so.. but then again..

I knew it! I knew getting the Desert Raid be a good idea.

And I'm unfortunately getting the Brioso now.
 
I hope the Rally truck isn't a Peg vehicle. Doesn't make sense as you wouldn't be able to modify it, unless its at the workbench in a warehouse, which makes no sense either.
If you cant store it then I don't see myself buying it as I would just use it in races. The Brickade is over $1M so this will likely be more.

A video of the unreleased vehicles.

Well, if the Ford Puma front already turned you off, at least the Lynx has the great V8 sound Jags have.

That and the F-Type body kit being available. Too bad it's no Surano Coupe.

I will if i figure out how :) I've never used the creator before. They probably wont really be suitable for actual racing but as single car runs they should work fine.

I found a pretty good run from the radio tower overlooking los santos to the light house that i think i could either split into 3 stages or do as one big stage. I'm trying to avoid any sections where you're just flat out along a straight for a long period as it's pretty boring. There's some great dirt roads near the farm around the other desert airfield.
 
Does anyone here actually use the tear gas grenades?

There isn't any use for them. Plus, the police response to them is stupid. You could be standing on a mountain half a mile away from any NPCs, yet you'll still get a wanted star for throwing one of them. I don't understand.
 
I've uploaded a course, there's a few floating tyre stacks I need to fix at a later point but let me know what you think of it :) I restricted the cars in case people actually do use it as a race but I think it works well for all 'rally' type vehicles.

It is quite long though, in the quattro you're looking at pretty much 7 minutes to complete.

The course is called 'rally los santos ss1'

I found the only practical use for them is to force someone out of cover, but it's still a small niche and there's better ways to do that.

Yeah, the minute I saw it I knew I needed it.:P

Also, after driving the 3 new Supers, I think I prefer the KTR1 simply because it feels less twitchy than the other two.
 
Really nothing of note on the patch notes on my part. Other than the interaction menu overhaul.

But you know: this is probably one of the updates where all the cars are top notch in quality and unfortunately price. Thank gosh I found the headhunter bug that I will now coin as the SHANC (setting headhunter at no cooldown)

Damn, that felt like a weapon from Codename: Kids Next Door.
