What is the race series in GTA 5?

Rockstar introduced a new competitive racing mode to the game known as the Open Wheel Race series. The new race mode was added a few months ago to allow players to drive the GTA's equivalent of Formula One cars against other players in circuits around several parts of Los Santos. Players can earn some decent cash while getting the opportunity to prove who’s the fastest.

The mode can be played solo or with up to 15 players. This can go up to 30 players for the enhanced version of the game on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC platforms. Players get to earn several rewards such as cash, RP, and JP. Players can earn these rewards for participating, even if they don’t win the race.
