Rockstar's weekly refresh for GTA Online (Feb 26 to Mar 4, 2026) is basically a love letter to drifting, and it changes how you'll want to spend your sessions. If you've been stacking GTA 5 Money for the next big car build, this is one of those weeks where it actually pays off, because the whole vibe is about throwing a car into a corner and holding it there. The new Shitzu Keitora is the headline act, a tiny kei-truck on Southern San Andreas Super Autos for $810,000, and it's weirdly addictive once you start flicking it around traffic and tight turns.
Drift Builds You'll Actually Use
The best part isn't just the new truck, it's what it unlocks for your garage. The Keitora can take Drift Tuning now, and so can a few fan favourites: the Sentinel XS, Dominator GT, and RT3000. That means you're not just "making do" with a car you already own—you can set them up for proper sideways runs and feel the difference right away. You'll notice it most in long sweepers and when you're trying to link corners without losing your line, which is where most people usually spin or over-correct.
Multipliers, Quick Wins, and a Handy Livery
If you're chasing money and RP, Drift Races are the clear move this week: they're paying 3x GTA$ and RP, and GTA+ bumps that up to 6x, which is kind of wild for something you can queue into fast. On top of that, LS Car Meet Reputation is running at 5x, so even a casual night of races can shoot your rank up quicker than you'd expect. There's also a simple little bonus: finish one Drift Race in the Annis Euros and you'll snag the Manga Classic livery, but don't sleep on the 72-hour limit. If drifting's not your thing, Exotic Exports are paying 4x, and Weed Sell Missions are sitting at 2x, so you've still got a solid grind path.
Lunar New Year Rewards and Bigger Heist-Style Payouts
The Lunar New Year event is still live until March 4, and it's one of those "log in and you're sorted" deals: the Red Year of the Horse Tee, plus free horse masks and tattoos, and you can keep hunting those Yuanbao collectibles if you're into map-clearing. When you want a change of pace from races, Auto Shop Robbery Contracts are handing out a $300,000 bonus, which makes them feel way less like busywork. Salvage Yard Robberies are also worth a look because you can claim the Maibatsu Penumbra FF, and it comes with a custom LS Car Meet vanity plate that's actually a nice flex.
Free Cars, Discounts, and a Smart Way to Plan Your Spend
Freebies are strong this week: you can claim a Dinka Blista Kanjo and a Declasse Drift Walton L35 for $0, and the LS Car Meet membership fee is waived, so there's no excuse to skip joining if you haven't. Drift Tuning upgrades are 30% off too, which adds up fast when you're testing setups and swapping parts. Over at the Casino, the Benefactor Stirling GT is on the podium, and if you prefer earning rather than spinning, place top three in the LS Car Meet Series for four days in a row to unlock the Fathom FR36. Before you drop cash on anything else, take the Karin Woodlander for a spin at the Premium Test Ride, then decide where your budget goes—whether that's grinding in-game or topping up through a trusted shop like RSVSR for quick currency and items without killing your whole evening in repeat runs.
