As the name suggests, this new series will feature race events created by different community members. In fact, the developers have stated that the game mode will be focused primarily on some of the best community-made race tracks.

It will function like a normal Community Series playlist, but will only contain racing events. This is the developer’s effort to make the gameplay experience better by creating a separate playlist for race enthusiasts, and rightfully so. A lot of GTA 5 players love to race with their collected cars, and this new creative mode gives them a chance to experience other players’ creations.

How to likely start the GTA Online Community Race Series

You will likely be able to access the GTA 5 Community Race Series from the game's Pause menu itself. You can follow these steps:

Open the Pause/Options menu.
Go to the Online tab.
Go to Jobs.
Select Play Jobs.
Choose Community Jobs.

You should be able to find the new Community Race Series listed there once it’s released.

GTA Online Community Race Series: Release date

Apart from sharing a few details about the new game mode, the developer also announced its release date. The new Community Race Series will debut on August 7, 2025, as part of the GTA Online weekly update. It is expected to go live at about 2:00 am PT.

GTA 5 Online Community Race Series: Possible payout

Based on the previously available GTA Online Community Series jobs, the payout will most likely be around $10,000-$20,000 per match. It’s worth noting that Rockstar often boosts payout for creative modes, so a 2x bonus is expected to be applied on its release day.

Final verdict

It’s good to see GTA Online adding new content this late into its life cycle. Considering there’s still some time left for the arrival of Grand Theft Auto 6, the GTA Online Community Race Series should be enough to keep players invested in Los Santos for a while.
