Rockstar adds new Junk Energy Time Trials as part of the GTA Online July 27 Update

Rockstar Games' newest weekly update for GTA Online focuses on race enthusiasts with a bevy of opportunities, while leaving players interested in doing business with fewer offerings.

This update is a continuation of the Summer Racing Event that started last week. This week doesn't herald the arrival of new cars, but the thrill for speed chasers is far from curbed.

Check out our round-up below of what's new in Los Angeles as part of the latest GTA Online update:

• 3X GTA$ and RP on Issi Classic Races, Special Vehicle Races, and Open Wheel Races
  • 4.5X GTA$ and RP on Issi Classic Races, Special Vehicle Races, and Open Wheel Races (GTA+ exclusive)
