In terms of racing, Grand Theft Auto V is awful, to be honest. Racing in this game is just not enjoyable because it doesn't feel real at all. Unless you like an arcade type racing game, this is not the game to enjoy racing. For me, Grand Theft Auto IV was a lot better for racing because you actually had to be good at driving to win races. The cars were not easy to handle and you actually had to think about slowing down/turning. With GTA V, even noobs can win races. Just go as fast as you can, hit other cars and turn.
