Time Trial is a mode in Grand Theft Auto V [GTA 5]. It’s available in Freemode in which players must compete for the fastest times on the track. As they continue battling each other for the time, the winner with the best time earns the most money. Unlike some of the modes such as Hunt the Beast or Beast vs. Slasher, the player has no need to go through checkpoints and can accomplish the match in any way he chooses. For this mode, players only see themselves and the other players cannot interfere.
Don’t swing your curves too wide
Taking the curves in a wide manner causes the car to drift, losing precious time. Drifting, while it may be good in dirt racing, urban street racing often times doesn’t rely on drifts. In fact, clipping the corner with a controlled speed may do one better than throwing the car in a wide arc.
Speed Boosts
In Time Trial, there are no speed boosts unlike the ones in Stunt Racing. However, some concepts may apply such as the riding along the bumpers to increase speed. However, some of the tricks such as the loop the loop may not be available. However, the speed boosts can help especially for motorcycles.
Time Trials Gta 5
Choose a suitable vehicle
Most people would choose fast motorcycles due to their increased speed. Another is a sports car or a car’s that been fully upgraded. Doing so would assure them being able to beat the set time.
Watch the road
Watch the areas you intend to pass. The time of day can help you finish a particular track faster. However, this may be detrimental especially at night since most places are unlit. If the car has headlights, that works too. However, if it doesn’t, perhaps leave the Time Trial for another day unless the player has mastery over the track.
Control the car
The car doesn’t control you. The speed of the car depends on how the player controls the car. Also, speeding up isn’t always the best answer to everything. Sometimes, the best way to go through a track sometimes is to go low and slow especially when taking tricks.
Take risks
Certain tricks can increase speed. Some of these tricks such as Wheelies can increase the speed of the motorcycle or the vehicle in both acceleration and top speed. Don’t be afraid to pull this trick especially if will improve a player’s over-all time.

Grand Theft Auto V Online is the subject of a lot of speculation today, mostly because there is still nothing definitive to know about its upcoming DLCs. Some speak of Mansion, others of Casino, and some think that the upcoming expansion will have both, as well as a series of other goodies to go around. But right now let's focus on the upcoming Casino DLC, with some online casinos action coming your way.
Rumors about the GTA V Online Casino DLC have been circulating for almost two years now. It is a most anticipated expansion, bringing a lot of new stuff into the world of GTA. According to the latest rumors and supposed leaks, the Casino DLC will bring more than just poker and blackjack to the single and multiplayer version of the game, but gambling minigames too, slot machines, horse racing and lotteries. The first hints about the coming of the Casino DLC were discovered in the Freemode DLC code, which says '0xCED5A615 = Start your day like a pro: play 8 hours of Casino blackjack with your remortgager and divorce attorney. then wash it all down with a time trial through North LS to a Vinehood Hills mansion you'll never own.'
The forum discussions regarding the upcoming DLC indicate that it might be released 'sometime very soon'. It might not feature the previously rumored 'Roulette' game, focusing on poker, slot machines and blackjack instead. At least the 'roulette' rumor has died out. The 'coming soon' rumor is fueled by the fact that the GTA V Online world has a building dedicated to in-game gambling - a casino building with a huge 'Coming Soon' banner hanging on it.
The other upcoming expansion for GTA V, Mansion, would cater to 'high-wealth' gamers in GTA Online. Rumored to be part of the Ill-Gotten Gains update, it will function much like a real life luxury apartment, featuring a stage for cars, more room activities with friends, and the ability to play various gambling games within them, which players can play with their friends.
The Lowrider DLC, in turn, will introduce 12 new cars into the GTA V universe, including new variations on the Faction, Moonbeam, Primo, Sabre GT, Virgo, Chino, clean Voodoo, Buccaneer, Tornado, and Slamvan.
All rumors could be either confirmed or denied on 11th March, when Rockstar Games prepares to announce new details about the upcoming DLCs. But this date is also a rumor, based on a tweet published by a well known GTA tipster FunMW2. The tweet was removed since, but the rumors still remain - the developer might announce some news, including a release date for the game's April DLC...
