So, HotRing Racers, or Stock Cars as they are called in real life, are back in GTA. Any word yet on if they are any good around a track?
Also, I got a world record because no-one else had done a decent lap yet, lol.

Played a random lobby, got totally destroyed on first straight, and then fell asleep in third corner. Not for me. But are the stock cars in a class of its own ? Saw a chrome car in that race althogh i had no choice in picking a personal car beforehand. Assumed they go under muscles.

I played a round of this earlier with 30 people, it took forever. Around 15-20 minutes if I remember right. Might be a lot more fun with fewer people though.
I like how the Hotring Sabre drives and looks though; I'm always interested in cars with livery options.

Random lobbies are awful right now. But the car is pretty fun to race.

They are under sports, and you can pick your own car if it is enabled in the lobby before starting.
Started a lobby today and turned off catch up but kept slipstream on, and had 10 people in, I gotta say I had a blast competing for first, its nowhere near the real thing but its fun in its own way!

I've liked the races well enough so far. It's a bit of a shame curb boosting wasn't fixed, would be cool to race these Nascar inspired stunt tracks with Nascar racing lines, but alas if you wanna make 50-60k per race you gotta get ahead, and to get ahead you've got to boost.
I do wonder though why rockstar made the banks on the tracks so bumpy. You'd of thought they would of created new banked race stunt props that was smooth around the turn, they done it before with some of the elevated stunt track pieces, so why not here? Some of these tracks are the kind of "make the best with what we got" kind of stuff I expect seeing from content creators, not from Rockstar.
On the plus side the Sabre is cool. Though it's a sports car, so any stunt race outside this new batch where all cars go, the Pariah is going to wreck this thing.

They should create a class of their own for stock cars and add some new ones.
Like the 2018 cars of NASCAR. They are simply lovely.

The car itself is a fun car to drive when on user created tracks rather than R* own "OVALS".

I was pretty pumped to see what was all about the car, did one race then rockstar servers thought one race was enough lol
Kinda liked it, but kinda reminded why I don't race on open lobbies anymore

Did any of you guys buy the Sabre Hotring Racer? Is it worth buying? Because it would increase the chances to win the hotring races maybe, but as a sports car is pretty bad so it would be no use in other stunt or regular races.

But I have millions with nothing to spend it on. If cash is more of an issue for you then don't bother. It's only any good for the new races. (which are pretty damn boring, it's just whoever can kerb boost the most) And even if you do like the new races just find or host a lobby with custom cars off |

I have about 5 millions so not much, and I still have to buy the Pariah, which is now the priority. So I think that maybe I'll wait. Thanks for the advice  |

It doesn't work. It's like Rockstar favors populated lobbies and ignores small lobbies. Like yesterday I tried to get non-contact race going. I was in public lobbies when I started the race, auto invite, matchmaking open, and I must of sat there a good 10 minutes with not a single person joining. At most I got like 3 people who quit after a few minutes of waiting. But soon as you join a random populated lobby with 10-15+ players, suddenly everybody is joining in like mad and you can get 25-30 player lobbies easy. But try to start out by yourself in a empty lobby, not a soul will join. I would love to hos non-contact races, but you can never find anybody hosting by yourself. |

It happens frequently to me as well! It's not easy to host a populated race, you gotta wait for a lot of minutes, as you stated. And I'm playing on PC so which platform it is it doesn't matter |

The thing is with these races. If you have non custom cars on... Everyone has the same spec car..(no modifications)
If you have custom cars on everyone still has the same spec car (fully modified - apart from the odd lower rank players) so as there is no variation in car it's kinda irrelevant anyways owning one. Might as well just find a lobby with custom cars off
