New GTA Online DLC might bring Cayo Perico race events

A screenshot of the trailer has been captured by the famous GTA insider, Tez2. In it, it appears that a racing event is going on the Cayo Perico island. This likely indicates that players will finally be able to race in the fan-favorite location.

To this day, players are only able to enjoy the Cayo Perico island while performing The Cayo Perico Heist. Fortunately, that will change with the upcoming update if Rockstar does include new race events across the island.


Why is the Cayo Perico island in GTA Online so alluring?

Cayo Perico is a private island located in the Caribbean and only appears in GTA Online while playing The Cayo Perico Heist. It is considered to be one of the most secure private islands in the game.

Apart from being the center of El Rubio’s drug business, it also serves as a host of other activities such as marathon beach dance parties. The island has a lot of points of interest, with several historical artifacts and interesting objects scattered throughout the place. While animals cannot be seen in the wild, players can listen to wildlife, including birds, frogs, and snakes.

It’s like a paradise to roam around while performing the heist, and players have been requesting Rockstar to allow them to roam freely ever since its introduction. Participating in racing events on the island will surely be a treat for many players around the globe.
