Data miners found these cool Formula 1 cars in the code of GTA 5 Online weeks ago. But when will the release finally be?
What kind of cars are these? In the large Casino Heist update of GTA Online, which was released back in December, data miners spotted a large number of vehicles hidden in the game’s code. From GTA 5, we are already used to DLCs bringing a large number of new cars that are then released piece by piece, week by week.
There was this batch of new cars from the casino DLC, including two Formula 1 cars. The Progen PR4 and the Ocelot R88. Players were already eager to try them out. Because while there are plenty of fast supercars in GTA Online, Formula 1 cars would be something entirely new.
However, to this day, there is no sign of the speedsters in Los Santos. Well, at least not officially. A few players have already extensively tested the vehicles.
This is how they have already been tested: Clever tech enthusiasts have utilized the car’s code and loaded the vehicles into the offline world.
During testing, the testers noticed that the race cars have a boost system that you can manually trigger. To charge it, you must brake or accelerate.
In the video by Pyrerealm gaming – Rockittt, the cars are sent out for a test drive through the streets of Los Santos.
Even tuning is not neglected when it comes to the cars. Modifications for wings, tires, and more are essential to give the cars your own touch. Everything we know so far about the cars and their tuning can be seen here:
When is the release of the Formula 1 cars?
What does Rockstar say? It probably won’t be long before the Formula 1 cars enter the online mode of Grand Theft Auto V. This is supported by the fact that Rockstar Games already announced races of this type.
In 2020, many more contents will follow. For GTA Online, the next one is an open-wheel racing series with brand new vehicle types on the starting line – with thrilling, track-based high-speed races where tight curves, tactical tire choices, and perfectly timed pit stops ensure that every second counts. Additionally, expect further major updates and some surprises throughout the year.

If this description doesn’t scream “Formula 1,” then I don’t know what does.
However, we have not yet been given a fixed release date. But prepare yourselves for the fact that it probably won’t be too long before you can race through the streets with these horsepower monsters.
To ensure you can buy the cars right at release, you should start saving some money. It’s not that hard:
However, you may also just need a bit of luck. As data miner TezFunz2 on Twitter explains, the two F1 cars might also be available as a prize at the lucky wheel in the future.
The lucky wheel in GTA Online could even gift you the rarest car.
