Grand Theft Auto: Formula Nope, How to Not Become a Rolling Salad in GTA 6
The dust has settled on the hype-nado that was the GTA 6 release. You've traded in your trusty Oppressor Mk II for a sleek F1 whip, ready to tear up the neon-drenched streets of Vice City at speeds that would make a fighter jet jealous. But hold your horses (or should I say, hold your racehorse-powered rockets), because there's a new danger lurking in the asphalt jungle: those oh-so-fragile F1 wheels.

Picture this: you're neck-and-neck with your rival, neon lights blurring past as you scream around a hairpin turn. Victory is within your grasp, the taste of podium champagne practically on your tongue. Then, bang. Your front tire catches a curb with the grace of a drunken hippo on roller skates, and your multi-million dollar racecar explodes into a shower of carbon fiber confetti. Cue the Benny's repair bill blues.

Fear not, aspiring speed demons! I, your friendly neighborhood (and slightly singed) F1 crash test dummy, am here to share the secrets of keeping your precious Pirelli's pristine. Heed my words, and you'll be weaving through traffic like a hummingbird on Red Bull, leaving a trail of bewildered pedestrians and jealous supercar owners in your wake.

Remember those racing lines you spent hours learning in the tutorial? They're not just pretty squiggles on the map, my friend. They're your sacred path to tire Nirvana. Stick to them like glue (but not literally, unless you want your car to become a permanent fixture on the track), and those delicate rims will thank you. Every curb clipped is a prayer to the RNG gods, and let's be honest, they're a fickle bunch who favor the cautious, not the curb-happy cowboys.

QuickTip: Break reading into digestible chunks.![]()
Just because your F1 car can handle corners like a ballerina on espresso doesn't mean you should treat it like one. Take it easy on those sharp turns, especially when you're rocking slicks that make driving on wet grass feel like ice skating on rollerblades blindfolded. Remember, every corner is a potential tire graveyard, so ease into them like you're trying not to wake a grumpy grizzly bear.

Those guys in the orange jumpsuits aren't just there to look pretty (although, let's be honest, they do a damn good job of it). They're your tire whisperers, your rubber saviors. Don't be afraid to pit early, especially if you hear your tires singing opera or feel the car handling like a shopping cart on a sugar rush. A quick tire change is a small price to pay for avoiding the Grand Canyon-sized potholes in your bank account.
Remember, folks, F1 cars in GTA 6 are like glass slippers in a mosh pit: beautiful, exhilarating, and incredibly easy to shatter. But with a little caution and these handy tips, you can keep your precious Pirelli's pristine and dominate the racetracks (and avoid Benny's extortionate repair fees) like the true Grand Theft Auto champion you are. Now go forth, and may your tires forever grip the asphalt with the tenacity of a badger on Red Bull!
Disclaimer: I cannot guarantee that following these tips will prevent all tire-related mishaps. Physics is a cruel mistress, and sometimes, even the most cautious driver gets caught in her tire-popping trap. But hey, at least you'll have a good story to tell at Benny's, right? Just make sure you bring your wallet.
