Today, coming off the back of new GTA 6 rumors, Rockstar Games released a new GTA Online update on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Dubbed, Open Wheel Racing, the update more or less turns the gaming into a racing simulator. No really, there's a whole two-wheel racing game within GTA Online, which continues to be Rockstar Games' sandbox to do crazy things. The update features two brand new open-wheel vehicles, seven tracks, and of course plenty of massive crashes.

"The future of competitive motorsport has arrived, and it’s in a hurry," reads an official pitch of the content. "Two brand new open-wheel ultra-performance vehicles. Seven high-speed tracks. Dozens of split-second decisions, from the tires you use, to whether you take that all-important pit stop. And above all: one seat, one driver, one grand prize.



Of course, while it's an ambitious content update, it's far from perfect. There's been a few performance issues, and when you do get into a race, your chance of winning can quickly evaporate as players forget it's not a demolition derby sim.

Open Wheel Racing now available for GTA Online
