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.

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.

There is a $1500 entry fee. The race has two laps and is only for motorcycles. It begins on Invention Court in the Vespucci Canals area and continues through the Vespucci and Del Perro neighbourhoods. The prize for the winner is $6750.

During the Strangers and Freaks task Vespucci Canals, 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 Hao in gta 5 story
mode as we look at the final race in the street race series the Vespucci Canals
hi and welcome back my name is 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 joining me then in our continuing series getting gold in
every damn mission in gta 5 as we look at the grand theft auto race the spoochy canals 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 start today getting old in this one is 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 simply need to win the race so at some point early game you’ll receive
a message from howe inviting you to a 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 let’s pick it up from the start line
pretty slow start on that one i’m not super happy with it but that is okay but you can see here what
we’re doing is just pulling back on the stick and wheeling or modeling so that we can get just a
little bit of extra acceleration out of the bike and then what we’re going to do as we come to the
corner is drop into franklin’s ability ease off the gas and you can see the back firing there and
then just steer around the corner don’t accelerate just steer and you can see we are already miles
ahead so we’ll do it again here so you can see every time the muffler flashes there i’m coming
off the gas and just steering around the corner so we’re not accelerating around the corners at all
but we do have the advantage with this of franklin being able to break on a dime so we’ll zip through
here there are a lot of straights in this so we do spend a lot of time at top speed which
is fantastic but we’ll come through here and then we just need to be really careful through here to
thread through traffic and not hit the wall on the other side so again once we’re through as soon as
we we get upright we get off franklin’s ability onto the gas and away we go so we’re really using
his ability quite sparingly here flat out down here just pull back to mono if you’re able to
accelerate anymore watch out for traffic and we will have another turn coming up pretty soon so
ease off slow down for this one as well because you will come unstuck very very easily
avoid the stoby pole and then aim for the bridge
line yourself up make sure that you don’t go sideways on that bridge otherwise
it will become very very bad very very quickly and now we just need to do another clean lap
so again just a reminder ease off the gas into franklin’s ability or vice versa don’t accelerate
around the corners just steer and then you will remain in reasonably good control of the bikes
so coming up on one of the last turns we want to slow down for this one line yourself up and then
straight over the bridge and that is first and golden can’t believe the rubber banding on that
but two minutes and 41 seconds i’m pretty happy with that one so what are your thoughts do you
have any tips for other viewers or could this be none differently leave your comment down below
