GTA 5 Racing in 2026: Why FiveM Custom Races Are Better Than Ever

GTA 5 launched over a decade ago, yet its racing scene has never been healthier. The reason is FiveM — the modding framework that lets communities like Raycin build experiences Rockstar never shipped.

Why it still wins

  • Custom tracks far beyond the in-game creator’s limits
  • Community modes — Transform, Sumo, Deadline and more
  • Real stats — lap times, records and rankings
  • Organised events with marshals and fair play

If you’ve only raced in vanilla GTA Online, custom FiveM racing is a different sport. Come see for yourself.
