Rockstar Games have announced the start of a set of racing updates coming to GTA Online!
Here is what Rockstar had to say:
Today marks the beginning of a full season of pulse-pounding new racing updates, a fleet of fresh vehicles and more with the GTA Online: Southern San Andreas Super Sport Series. The first of two new racing modes – an homage to Vice City’s classic Hotring mixed with the Cunning Stunts of GTA Online – is now available along with five new cars.
To start with, a new mode was announced. This new mode (pictured above) is known as the ‘HOTRING CIRCUIT.’ Here is the official synopsis for it:
There’s nothing more American than strapping yourself inside of the highly combustible turbo-charged death machine that is the new Declasse Hotring Sabre and tearing around a multi-lap track designed for up to 30 adrenaline-addicted maniacs. Embrace the intoxicating smell of burnt rubber and premium-grade gasoline across 10 stock car races made for the new Hotring Sabre.
Rockstar also mentions that there will be Double GTA$ & RP now through March 26th in this mode!
For those of you who enjoy the huge range of cars available in GTA Online, Rockstar has released 5 NEW VEHICLES as part of todays update. Each vehicle has its own style and handling. Firstly, they showed the Taipan:

The all new Entity XXR – now available exclusively from Legendary Motorsport:

All of the above vehicles are available either at the Legendary Motorsport and Southern San Andreas Super Autos in-game stores!
Rockstar also mentioned details about future updates to GTA Online. On APRIL 3rd 2018, the Target Assault Mode will be released:
The ultimate playground for wheelmen and sharpshooters alike, Target Assault demands a mastery of both. A frantic race for up to 8 teams of 2 players each, where Gunners are tasked with destroying targets to score points from a mounted gun, while the Drivers outmaneuver the opposition for further points on each lap.
Also coming in MAY 2018 are more races:
On May 1st, dodge underwater mines, glide over scenic raceways and boost through air gates as you take on 10 unique new Special Vehicle Races featuring the Deluxo, Stromberg and Thruster from The Doomsday Heist.
