Racing has its own readout: lap counter, position out of sixteen, a running time and a minimap with the track on it.

At 17:41 the bottom right of the screen carries three lines. LAP 1/2. A position, 11/16, with a small bar beside it. And a running time, 00:18.12. Bottom left sits a minimap showing the circuit and the field as dots on it.

Sixteen cars is the number worth keeping. That is the size of the field this race is scored against, and it is larger than the grids GTA V ran by default.

The cars themselves are touring-car shaped, running on a wet circuit with kerbs, a pit wall and a chain-link fence. The leader's rear window carries the letters UB, and IMOFF is written across the bootlid.

How to recognise it

  • LAP 1/2, bottom right
  • Position shown as 11/16 — a field of sixteen
  • A running time to hundredths
  • A minimap of the circuit with the field on it, bottom left
  • Touring-car bodywork, wet track, kerbs and a pit wall

The frame it comes from

The frame is Extended Look at ~17:43.05. It is 1920 by 1080, and the vehicle occupies 422 by 270 of it.

What we still do not know

  • Whether sixteen is the standard field size
  • Whether this is a story race or a repeatable event
  • What IMOFF and UB are — sponsor, team or livery
  • Whether the circuit is the one signposted as Ambrosia Raceway Park
