Grand Theft Auto Online now basically has Formula One

Grand Theft Auto Online adds a new competitive racing series.

Racing and car ownership are GTA onlineAppeal. Although it looks like a game about murder and robbery, there is a huge community that does nothing but research the various racing series of the game.

This week, GTA Online received updates with the addition of "Open Wheel Racing" events. This comes in the form of two convertibles that seem to be the subject of Formula One after the 1990s. Progen PR4, in particular, has numerous similarities to the iconic McLaren MP4 / 6 of the late Ayrton Senna.

You will be able to upgrade the various components of your car, including the engine and wings, and greatly change their appearance through clothing and other cosmetics.

Although the new aircraft may look like a Formula 1 car from the 1990s, Rockstar added a kinetic energy recovery system (KERS), which actually increases the speed during the car and can be used to gain an advantage. In other words, the name of Nitros is more complicated because of F1.

In addition to the new cars, Rockstar has added 7 new street racing tracks that can be beaten in closed circuit every day. Check out the trailer below to see how they work, and if you want them to try it out, load the game.
