The secret to winning the weekly podium vehicle in GTA Online

Rockstar Games continues to dedicate an inordinate amount of time to the GTA Online player base. The latest weekly update, among other things, adds the Declasse Drift Tampa as the Podium Vehicle from June 1 to June 7.

According to the Southern San Andreas Super Autos dealership, the Declasse Drift Tampa "is the most brutal driving experience money can buy.

And, while you can pony up $995,000 to get this car, which is based on the real-life 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn RTR, there's a way to get it for free without paying and without even trying your luck.

According to GTA Online content creator, LaazrGaming, there's a tried and tested method to spinning the Diamond Casino's Lucky Wheel with precision. In fact, with enough practice, you can make owning every Podium Vehicle a reality on a consistent basis, catapulting your GTA Online experience to greater heights.

The steps involve initiating a private session for a fresh Lucky Wheel, interacting with it then timing your action to the second when the "Use to spin" prompt appears, and mastering a particular flick of the analog stick.

1. Make your way to the Diamond Casino.
2. Enter a private session to ensure a fresh spin opportunity at the Lucky Wheel.
3. Prompt an interaction with the wheel and keep an eye out for the 'Use to spin' message.
4. The moment the prompt is visible, silently count four seconds.
5. Quickly, push your left analog stick first up, then down.

That's it!

As with all good things, practice makes perfect. So, don't worry too much if you don't get the timing right on your first try.

As mentioned, this is a foolproof method. Until it's patched out and addressed by Rockstar, you can use it to win all the Lucky Wheel prizes going forward. So, even if the Declasse Drift Tampa is not your dream car, you can go home with more in the future. Besides, the sheer excitement of going home with that daily free spin has no price.
