Follow this guide to ace the Lakeside Splash off-road race in Grand Theft Auto V. Learn about obstacles, checkpoints, and the best path to claim your $500 prize.
Alright, let's get you through the Lakeside Splash off-road race in Grand Theft Auto V. This one's a bit of a bumpy ride around Sandy Shores lake, and you'll be looking to snag a cool $500 prize for your troubles. The race starts on Armadillo Avenue.
Walkthrough
- 1You'll be racing around the edges of the lake, so keep your eyes peeled for obstacles like random debris and even some folks wandering around. The key here is to constantly adjust your path to avoid hitting anything.
- 2Around the second checkpoint, you'll need to swerve right to dodge a pile of wood. Also, watch out for telephone poles – they're everywhere! The track will weave through bits of wood and broken huts, so try to stay in the center of the path.
- 3Soon after, you'll hit a jump. Warning: Hug the right side of this jump. If you go too far left, you'll smack right into a telephone pole that's right by the water. You can actually cut through the water a bit here to reach the next checkpoint.
- 4Keep that accelerator floored as you hug the lake's edge and push through the brush. Pay attention when the course shifts onto the road and crosses a bridge. Keep an eye out for deer that sometimes wander into the road – they can be a real pain!
- 5The final part of the race brings you back onto the dirt path near the water, then rejoins the road to cross another bridge, leading you straight to the finish line.
Tips
- Always be looking ahead to anticipate obstacles. Sudden swerves are better than hard crashes.
- Don't be afraid to use the water to your advantage, especially after the jump, to gain a bit of ground and avoid those pesky poles.
- Deer can appear out of nowhere on the road sections, so be ready to brake or swerve.
