The briefing
Use the individual database records alongside this guide to check the relevant edition, prerequisites and completion targets. A location, vehicle or activity can have different conditions in Story Mode and GTA Online.
This comparison uses circuit testing attributed to Broughy1322 rather than averages of the game’s display bars. A repeatable lap tests braking, acceleration and cornering together, making it a better measure of race pace than a single maximum-speed figure.
The October 2026 source list also contains vehicles with special equipment, so the event’s eligibility rules remain important. A strong lap in testing does not mean the model can enter every conventional race, and a boost can change how a special vehicle should be compared. Use the same circuit, upgrade state and permitted class when choosing a race vehicle. The individual records retain the purchase and equipment information needed to interpret the ranking rather than treating one position as an all-purpose verdict.
