it’s thursday and that means it’s update day here’s where it’s at
for updates from thursday the 5th of may to thursday the 12th of may 2022
hi and welcome back my name’s Dan and i’m an old grumpy gamer well it seems like a pretty good week
in gta online if you’re into business battles or ron’s contact missions with some cracking double
and triple money and rp bonuses to be had but before we dive in if you’re new to the channel
we do how-to guides news and giveaways so consider subscribing and ring the bell to start today so
starting with the los santos car meets prize ride for the week we have the atari
gtb which is quite the supercar according to gta base this one tops out at around 126.5
miles per hour or around 203 kilometers per hour for the standard version and 157 miles per hour
or 250 k’s for the hsw version and retails at 1 million 189 grand plus upgrades to win this
one you’ll need to place first in a street race series for five days in a row which is
a bit of an ask if i’m honest but if you have the time and the skill by all means grab it
oh and this week’s test rides are the pegasi in furnace the trafford adder and the pegasi reaper
and the reaper is an absolute cracker so if you’ve not tried it before i’d encourage you to take it
for a spin speaking of rides if you’re on next-gen this week’s hsw ride is the grotty brioso ra this
one’s brutal with a top speed of 124 miles per hour that’s around 200k with all of the hsw kit
and is worth about 155 grand plus upgrades over to the casino next and we’ll take a look at this
week’s podium vehicle which is the fister comet safari this one’s great if you’re into sports cars
according to gta base this one has a top speed of about 120 miles per hour or roughly 190 kilometers
per hour and retails at 710 grand plus upgrades while we’re on the cars let’s take a look at
the time trials the regular time trial starts at the casino in the center of the map with a part
time of one minute even this one’s likely to be easiest with a motorcycle but if you don’t have
one of those you can always pick something up off the street or buy a pegasi baddie from southern
san andreas super sports for a whopping 15 grand and with a 100k prize it’ll pay for itself in one
round the rc time trial starts near the cemetery with a part time of a minute 20 even so if you’ve
got the arena workshop and have invested in the bandito there’s a quick 100k to be made there too
finally if you’re lucky enough to have scored a next gen console the how’s special works time
trial this week is north chumash with a part time of three minutes and 49. don’t forget you’ll need
a hsw vehicle to participate in this one which ain’t cheap but you can do these time trials as
many times as you like you just need to wait for the cooldown which is one in game day or 48 real
world minutes keeping the money train rolling we have triple cash and rp on all business battles
this week so there’s some serious cash to be made there in addition we have double cash and rp on
bandito races we have double cash and double rp on ron’s contact missions and double cash in rp on
