Grand Theft Auto is a truly massive game. Between GTA 5 and the constant updates from Rockstar for GTA Online; there’s no shortage of new content and interesting things to do.

Join me, then, in our continuing series, getting gold in every damn mission, in GTA 5 as we look at Grand Theft Auto mission City Circuit.

Before we dive in; if you’re new to the channel, we do How To Guides, News and Giveaways; So consider subscribing and ringing the bell, to stay up-to-date.

Getting gold in this one is pretty straightforward once you’ve got the hang of it; but can be a little challenging on keyboard and mouse.

At some point early game, you’ll receive a message from Hao inviting you to race. The races are available overnight, between 8:00 pm and 5:00 am.

Now, on the way to the race, it’s important to max out Franklin’s ability. You can do this by passing very close to other vehicles, while driving quickly.

Know any neat mods we could use to do a bit more exploration in Lost Santos, or North Yankton? Leave your suggestions in the comments.

There is a $500 entrance fee. The race lasts one lap. It begins on Clinton Avenue in Downtown Vinewood and extends into Los Santos’ northern and western areas. The winning prize is $2250.

During the Strangers and Freaks task City Circuit, Hao introduces the player to the first race. A text message from Hao will open a new race when the objective is completed, and Franklin must continue to win the races in order to advance to the next one.

The series consists of five races that are only available between the hours of 20:00 and 05:00. To obtain 100% completion, a medal in each of the Hao Street Races counts as 5 of the mandatory 42 Hobbies and Pastimes.

Hao is a Los Santos citizen that participates in races all over the city. He appears to be affiliated with The Families and knows both Lamar Davis and Franklin Clinton.

Hao makes a brief cameo in Grand Theft Auto Online, providing a vehicle for the player to race against Lamar. He also works at the Los Santos Customs business near the Los Santos International Airport as a mechanic.

Hao challenges Franklin and his pals to a street racing in Grand Theft Auto V. After the race, the player can participate in four additional street races across the city. Franklin also has a cameo in the task Father/Son, when he drives Amanda De Santa’s vehicle to Los Santos Customs. Hao is repairing Amanda’s vehicle here.

Hao first appears in the GTA Online: Los Santos Tuners update’s LS Car Meet introductory cinematic. When the player arrives and stops him, he is bragging about his “silver medal” discussion with Franklin, in which Mimi claims Hao really finished third. The first in-depth overview to the Car Meet is given by Hao. When he unlocks the Pursuit Series races at Car Meet Reputation level 5, he also sends the player a note.

He’ll frequently be spotted at auto shows gazing at the vehicles, with his upgraded orange Penumbra parked in one of the spaces.

with the tuners update settling down it’s time to visit howe in
gta 5 story mode as we look at city circuit
hi and welcome back my name’s Dan and i’m an old grumpy gamer grand theft auto is a truly massive
game between gta 5 and the constant updates from rockstar for gta online there’s no shortage of new
content and interesting things to do join me then in our continuing series getting gold in every
damn mission in gta 5 as we look at the grand theft auto race city circuit 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 builders up today getting gold in this one’s pretty straightforward once you’ve got the hang of
it but it can be a little challenging on keyboard and mouse to get gold in this one we’ll need to
simply win the race at some point early game you’ll receive a message from howe inviting you
to the race these races are available overnight between 8 pm and 5 am now on the way to the race
it’s important that you max out franklin’s ability you can do this by passing very close to other
vehicles while driving quickly so you can see there we have the guys in the car park on the left
sorry man the car park on the left just pull up you’ll get the little prompt top left and it will
set you back 500 there we go and we’ll jump to the cut scene which is just franklin lining up
in his little blister compact now pick the blister compact because it is a reasonably quick car but
it’s not mental it’s certainly not as quick as the banshees or all of that kind of gear there
i just wanted to show this can be done in anything so good start there just pull off to the side yeah
but the trick here is as we pick up the pace and probably not in this corner but as we
pick up the pace and we start rounding some of the sharper quarters here we go
we want to drop into franklin’s ability and then line yourself up afterwards and you can see there
we are going absolutely flat out now as we go over the crest there you also notice i would have
i’ve gone back into franklin’s ability and again getting unstuck so we’re using franklin’s ability
to its absolute most potential to make sure that we are absolutely storming ahead you can see even
at this early stage in the race we’ve got tons of charge so i’m using it as much as possible and we
are miles and miles ahead so once we get lined up here we’ll release it just for a second and then
and you can see that putting it back on when we get unstuck is very very helpful too so again as
we go around the corner and we can recharge this on the fly by whizzing past close to other cars
so you can see just getting a little squarely entaily there and using franklin’s ability
just to tie it back in and then whip around the corner there and we are back to utterly sending it
so now all we have to do is try and stay clean try not to hit too many things but even if you do
that’s okay if you make mistakes that’s okay there’s a better than average chance you’ll hit
first first or second time with this one just by making sure you’re using his ability
whenever you become unstuck or whenever you head around corners
now we got wildly unstuck there so that’s okay what you do is use franklin’s ability
just to get yourself off the mark and then we can just pick it up and use the opportunity
to whiz past some cars like that to make sure we are fully charged ready for the next corner
so again anytime you get near traffic that’s going your way not across ways of course
try your best to get nice and close and that will recharge franklin’s ability on the fly
all right coming up on the end now so just make sure that we don’t lose
it right at the very last second or drive franklin into a wall like it did last time
and there we go utterly smashed it at two minutes and 44 seconds and first place so what are your
thoughts do you have any tips for other viewers or could this have been done differently leave your
comments down below and check out the video on the left for the next race or the one on the right for
some more old grumpy gamer goodness stay safe wash your hands and we’ll see you in the next video
