GTA 6 map leak has fans seriously hyped for Online potential

Rockstar Games have been trying their hardest to keep every little detail regarding the upcoming Grand Theft Auto 6 a secret, but the GTA community is deadset on trying to figure out everything the game has to offer prior to its release.

A very dedicated group of fans have even been devising an entire map for the game, based on details from the 2022 Grand Theft Auto 6 leak that found its way online back in September.

As Dexerto’s Michael Gwilliam (who has been collecting details regarding the project for quite some time) revealed, one of the people involved in the Grand Theft Auto 6 Mapping Project has managed to figure out that a version of the Florida Gainesville Raceway will be featured on GTA 6’s map.

“In the file AIWE_ americas - AIWorldEditor 2021-04-15 18-59-33.mp4 from the 2022 leaks, you can see a map of the southernmost part of Port Gellhorn, including a race track.” Reddit user rolux revealed. “Turns out, the satellite image of Gainesville Raceway is a perfect match. Found by Giovanni_Tirado_48.”

That big old “AIWE_ americas” file name is one of the files that people managed to get their hands on following the 2022 leak.

Dozens of files from the leak have been used to map out several locations on the GTA 6 Mapping Project’s site, and the work that they’ve done so far seems so comprehensive that it’s a wonder there’s even anything left to leak at this point.

The fictional state of Leonida featured in Grand Theft Auto 6 is based on the real-world state of Florida, so it does make sense that a version of the Gainesville Raceway would find its way into the game.

The Gainesville Raceway is a quarter-mile-long dragstrip that’s host to the National Hot Rod Association's annual Gatornationals drag racing event, so its inclusion in GTA 6 does hopefully imply that we’ll be able to take part in a similar event in-game.
