This week’s community race track is a truly unexpected departure for GTA Online.
Literally A Hot Wheels Playset
Rockstar revealed the latest race track on their blog:
Face perilous twists and turns across SHOTYA: Raton Canyon, a winding Stunt Race by ShotYaaFace that’s available to play in this week’s Community Race Series on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC Enhanced — paying out Triple Rewards to all racers through September 24.
Raton Canyon is a national park found in GTA V and GTA Online. It’s a beautiful mountain location surrounded by wilderness all around.
The location seems to be inspired by Yosemite Valley in Yosemite National Park, and Bixby Creek, found in Big Sur, California.
As you can imagine, the place is fitting for extreme sports, and is already known for a motorcycle track. But this stunt track doesn’t really feel like it has anything to do with that.
Introducing SHOTYA: Raton Canyon
SHOTYA: Raton Canyon is a giant tube track that goes round and round, completely midair. For kids who grew up with Hot Wheels toy playsets, it’s going to be completely familiar.
The track clearly has a level of challenge and novelty. But then, the way it was designed is almost a shame. You won’t see the lovely natural countryside around the track. That’s because most of it is covered entirely in the tube.
As a funny aside, the track ends with the racers falling into the water. If Rockstar made a track like this themselves, they could do a lot more flashy things with it. But at least for now, this race is a fun little diversion for the weekend.
