I'm just going to say this flat out, I've been playing GTAV for three years and the GTA series as a whole for fifteen. Recently, I've started playing GTA Online and FiveM more than the actual base game of GTAV. However, I have now decided that I want ot try and speedrun GTAV's Classic% category however I want to eventually progress to the 100% when I'm confident enough with Classic%. With that said, I wanted to go on here and ask "How do you actually speedrun GTAV" What I hope to get from this is maybe a video that I could watch or some things I could read, I've already looked through the resources section and the forums and started watching Friendly Baron's series on Casual vs Speedrun however I wanted to ask if there was anything I've missed out on. Please do let me if you have anything that you think might be of use.

The best way is to watch WR and try to learn from that, but if you want explanations there are some commentated runs on gtamarathon (2023) (2021) (2021) https://www.twitch.tv/english_ben/video/828295078 (2020) (Race, late 2019) (early 2019) friendlybaron has a giga outdated gdq submission from 2019 . There are tutorials for the first 2 segments but the rest have none https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCVwnyKO85SJwlRM1tPV3HzPjX4l4frxS There is no up to date written guide unfortunately If there's something you dont understand you can ask for help in the #speedrun-questions channel in the GTA V speedrun discord

casual vs speedrun is a very good tool for explaining general things and general strats/game mechanics however due to how old the series is, its not a great learning tool.
