While Rockstar’s Newswire is yet to post about the new update, the post on r/GTAOnline reads, “This week in GTA Online, Open Wheel Races return with a stunning 4X GTA$ and RP across seven top tracks. Completing three Open Wheel Races will get you the Dark Manor Suit while winning two will fulfill the Weekly Challenge, resulting in a bonus GTA$100,000.”

In other news, it was recently reported that Borderlands 4 will release 2 weeks earlier than its original release date. While most fans believed that this decision was taken to make space for GTA 6. However, Gearbox’s CEO, Randy Pitchford, later confirmed that this decision has not been made because of any other game.
