Let me quote a person we all probably know: "It doesn't matter if you win by a mile or by an inch. Winning is winning."/ Dom Toretto/Vin Diesel

I had to take a screenshot of it. And save the video. I think that was the best race I've ever had in GTA. Even if I'd lost, it was a great race with us having at least 10 overtakes each/lap. 👍

I even got another quote for you; "Second place is the first looser" /Me

You see @250 GTO , he doesn't always speed away

 

[Sting]

Bah. Catch-up meh

 

[Flash_Sweden]

Haha! I honestly don't think that mattered yesterday. We were 1st and 2nd 90% of the race. With the biggest gap 1,5 seconds. But it was fun. Tight, fair, and fun:tup:

The only reason I took a screenshot and saved the video was the 3/1000 of a second that gave me the win. Too close not to save

 

[250 GTO]

If I get second place and @Sting gets first, well that means I've won the race! #ShutUpYesItDoes!

 

[Jahgee]

If I get not first and bet 10K on @Sting and he doesn't bet, I get more money than him so who's the real winner

 

[Anathema]

Whenever I play with the crew in Stunt Races, I have the worst luck. I must have played the H200 stunt race about 10 times and never once got exploded by hitting someone in the air when the track crosses on itself. Could be karma for betting on @Sting to win...

Speaking of H200, I really enjoy that track because you do have to employ strategies to be fast. Since H200 gets hit by waves, it's actually faster to take the jumps instead of going around them on most other tracks.

I learned that the hard way the very first time I drove on it... got stuck in the tube part where the water flows up in.

Also forgot to mention, if the people I was playing with a few hours ago heard me hack my lungs out: yes, I'm sick with a sinus infection and mild bronchitis; no, I don't have speakers for the monitor I play the PS4 on, and, unfortunately my only form of audio output/input is the headset I have, and as I haven't figured out a way to turn my mic input off completely - turning it all the way down + pressing the mute button on the headset itself didn't work.

So, yeah. I'm doing well for myself.

Since I never played much of GTA SA (shocker, right?), were you able to install hydraulics to every car? Hopefully this will be the case in the future of GTAO. Obviously, non-lowriders like a regular Tornado shouldn't have the hydraulics; the actual lowrider version would be useless.

Yeah.. (pic from my R*SC profile page.)

Not everything, but most could have them. The vehicles that didn't get the full lowrider treatment, didn't go as low, and the hydros were slower. Still, I'd be happy with that same treatment in GTA V. I want a Bison or Bobcat, that'll lay the rockers on the ground.

@Jahgee This is how you bet

Wait a sec @Leadfoot530, shouldn't you have $35M

 

[m8h3r]

I want to know where @Leadfoot530 has been making his cash from. Something fishy's a foot.

 

[GT5Power]

If he's been playing since 2014, the dead hooker glitch is a possibility.

 

[Leadfoot530]

That's what happens when you join a public lobby in 2013. Some random Joe-Shmoe gives you like, $100 billion. Needless to say, spending sprees were much easier back then...at least until R* took all the money away.

What the hell is the dead hooker glitch?

 

[Flash_Sweden]

What the hell is the dead hooker glitch?

No, don't tell him, or soon we'll be having dead hookers all over our lobbies, as he's trying to do it too.

I still remember the time I was checking the map in my garage. It was all calm and quiet, and Ally was at Legion Square, when I heard a shot go off, and I was killed...by Ally

You assumed your own garage was a safe space...you were wrong

Anyway I genuinely did not know it was you, I was trying to kill a griefer and got a little trigger happy, player names don't always appear when you are hiding inside the mechanics room.

 

[Jahgee]

How'd you manage that

 

[Sting]

How'd you manage that

He literally got the most favourable odds that the game has ever given for me and he "let me win" cough

 

[Jahgee]

Was there other people that bet that just disconnected or did the game glitch out

 

[STI9]

GTA thinks @Sting sucks at racing even though he has more wins than losses.

Well I wasnt going to finish 1st and lose 10k was I.

 

[STI9]

Full lobby and I was the only one who bet on him. Saw the odds and kept quiet till he won.

 

[GT5Power]

What the hell is the dead hooker glitch?

I haven't done it, but as far as I know it was some old money glitch that everyone used to do. It involved having a dead prostitute in the passenger seat of your car (preferably an Adder), which would help you somehow duplicate the car and sell duplicates in bulk to make millions. Pretty sure it was patched a long time ago.

 

[STI9]

I haven't done it

Yeah sure you haven't

Seems like a very unhygienic way to dupe a car though

Don't worry about it. It was kind of funny

 

[GT5Power]

Do you really think I'd miss such an opportunity to make money? I started playing online in March 2015, the glitch had apparently been patched long before then.

PREMIUM STUNT RACE: EAST COAST


This week's Premium Stunt Race is East Coast. Use the Quick Job App on your in-game phone or enter the yellow Premium Race Blip in Legion Square to enter.

Stumbled upon the link to this ^ on GTAF. Double bonuses on Lamar missions? Really? These have about the same success rate as the PacStan finale with level 40s, yet their reward is lame in comparison to that. I've never even done the first one, and I see maybe one or two invites to them per day. Why not remove the 4 player requirement to make them half decent, R*?

Entourage is cool, but I'll steer clear from it because of braindead imbeciles who don't know what team balancing is or just want to 5v1 me for fun. Should be removed from the options menu and forced on.

The Stunt Race Playlist is cool, I'll be giving that a go. 👍

Discounts could have been better.

 

[Leadfoot530]

25% off the ETR1? Oh... Just when I was thinking about saving up some money and buying a Stirling GT, Rockstar throws this at me...
