Master the Freeway street race in GTA V. Learn how to navigate tight corners, use Franklin's special ability, and claim your $5625 prize. Get the edge!

Alright, so you're ready to tackle the 'Freeway' street race in Grand Theft Auto V. This one's shaped a bit... *uniquely*, and it's a nice change of pace after some of the tougher races. You'll be heading under and over the Olympic Freeway. The race isn't super long, so it's a good spot to catch your breath and make some cash.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start Strong: As soon as the race begins, floor it! You need to get a jump on the other racers right away.
  2. 2
    First Corners: You'll hit some tight turns coming off the freeway. You absolutely *must* slow down considerably here. Take it easy, or you'll fly off the track.
  3. 3
    Back on the Freeway: Once you're back on the freeway, pick up speed again. But don't get too comfortable – you need to start slowing down *before* you reach the next off-ramp.
  4. 4
    The Tricky Ramp: If you're going too fast for this off-ramp, you'll overshoot it and fall off the road. Keep your speed slow and steady as you bank right in a circle.
  5. 5
    Second Circle: You'll come back onto the freeway and immediately need to turn back on yourself. Again, slow right down, or use Franklin’s special ability if you have it charged. You'll do another circle here, and then it's straight to the finish line.
Tips
  • Franklin's Special: This race is a perfect opportunity to use Franklin's unique ability. It's especially helpful for those tricky, sharp turns where you need to slow down fast without losing too much momentum.
  • Cornering is Key: The biggest challenge here isn't speed, it's control. Master slowing down for those sharp corners, especially the one pictured – it can really catch you by surprise if you're not prepared.
  • Don't Overshoot: Pay close attention to the off-ramps. Going too fast means you'll likely end up in a ditch instead of crossing the finish line.
  • Prize: $5625
  • Entry Fee: $1250
