GTA Wheels Challenge Ideas

Driving, stunts and races, for anyone who lives behind the wheel. 25 for GTA 5, 25 written for GTA 6 ahead of its 19 November 2026 launch.

How to play these dares

Wheels dares turn ordinary driving into a test: a trip without damage, a route in first person, a lap on one wheel. Pick the vehicle before you read the full dare so you cannot choose the easy one, and restart from the same place each time so attempts are comparable.

From Tourist to Menace

Tourist dares are clean drives across town. Local dares take a tool away, such as the third-person camera or the brakes, or make you swap vehicles on the way. Menace dares are long routes that must be finished perfectly, where one scrape ends the run. This category has 7 Tourist, 7 Local and 11 Menace for GTA 5, and 6 Tourist, 6 Local and 13 Menace for GTA 6.

What to avoid

In GTA Online, public lobbies are full of players who will not respect a no-damage run, and that is their right. Use a solo or invite-only session for anything that depends on being left alone, and keep modded vehicles out of the dares entirely.

Where they work best

GTA 5 has fifty stunt jumps in Story Mode, a ready-made list for anyone who finishes these dares and wants more. GTA Online adds stunt races, where the Menace dares make a good house rule for a group. First-person driving, which several dares ask for, is available in the current console and PC versions. The 25 GTA 6 Wheels dares below were written before anyone could play the game, from what Rockstar has shown; the GTA 6 page explains how, and which may change at launch.
