Time Trials

"Record the fastest time possible, with a new course to master every week that awards you GTA$ and RP for beating our target time or your own personal best - and a championship worthy haul if you can take down the World Record."

- Description

Time Trials are a Freemode Event featured in Grand Theft Auto Online.

Description
Time Trials are short races from one location to another. A purple corona will highlight the starting point, which can be seen on the map as a purple stopwatch icon. The race is live, meaning that other players can see the player racing in the freemode session, however, the race automatically places the player in passive move, and are invulnerable to other players' attacks.

The race is one-man only, meaning that the player isn't side-by-side racing, only trying to beat a default target time. Completing the race under the par time will reward the player with large amounts of GTA$ and RP.

If the player is to crash, fall off their bike, or simply wants to restart, they can hold F (PC), Y (Xbox One) or Triangle (PlayStation 4) to restart the race. The player will then be placed at the purple corona, and have the option to start the race again.

Tips

 * When attempting a Time Trial, pick a vehicle which suits the situation at hand. Fast motorcycles and Supers are the ideal choices for Time Trials, ideally fully upgraded.
 * Start at day time; most of the time trials pass through or end in un-lit areas, and headlights aren't too efficient, and could put the player at risk of crashing.
 * Most Time Trials require some level of speed conservation. Avoid unnecessary collisions with traffic and be light on the brakes when heading into corners.
 * Particularly for End to End and Storm Drain, pulling wheelies, whether constantly or one giant one, will result in a major increase in both acceleration and top speed. Be sure to pull wheelies whenever possible, even if it means taking a risk.

Trivia

 * Out of all Freemode Events, this is the only event which is permanently available for the player.
 * Time Trials are not available in sessions with only one player.
