Underground

Underground is the street racing scene in 3.0.

General Information
The Los Santos Underground racing scene, or simply the Underground, is run and organized by a hidden racing app, which was created by Puppet Master (PM). The Puppet Master also created the cryptocurrency GNE, which is acquired by racing via the racing app, GNE plays a vital role in the racing scene, where they use it to upgrade the car parts and buy other street racing accessories like NOS, Harness, fake plates etc. It is also important in the boosting scene, where it is necessary to start boosts and vin scratch boosted vehicles. It can also be obtained by successfully completing boosts.

The Puppet Master controls the racing scene from behind the scenes and uses some racers to engage in terrorism and many other illegal activities, gives out dangerous missions to them by directly contacting them via phone or through one of their puppet, who may accompany or guide them during these activities.

Key Locations
The Tuner Shop and other mechanics shops like Harmony are used as places for underground racers to meet safely locking the doors when cops come snooping. Racers will come together and talk about the state of the racing scene, discussing where they can improve and the issues they have with the scene as a whole.

Another important location is the underground warehouse owned by H&O Exports, in the industrial complex close to the Oil Fields. It is a place where vin scratched vehicles are converted to legal vehicles. It is also possible to repair cars there, which requires GNE to do.

Most crews also have their own personal meeting spots to come together separate from the wider racing scene.

Racing Crews
Many competitive and non-competitive racing crews have been formed in the underground. The most prominent Los Santos crews are as follows:

Redline
Primarily composed of members of the Cleanbois and The Phantom Thieves groups, Redline is a well known racing crew renowned for its extremely good racers. With the likes of Tony Corleone (Alias: DuckerZ), Octavio Stenberg (Alias: Goofy) and Raymond Romanov (Alias: RayCer), members of Redline regularly compete in street races.

Yokai
Yokai was formed as a spiritual successor to The Midnight Club, by Mary Mushkin and Eddie Marshall, to try and carry on the vibes of the old scene. With exceptional racers like Mary Mushkin, Wayne Marshall, Tommy Cruizer, Yokai is a formidable racing crew. The group operates out of Mushkin's Motors, a used car dealership owned by Mary Mushkin and the Tuner Shop.

Prism
A newer racing crew, Prism is a small racing crew composed of members from a mixture of groups, including the HOA and The Phantom Thieves. It was formed by Jesus Antonio Lopez Contreras and Anna Jørgensen, and will operate out of The Pit Stop, a legal business which the group plans to sell racing equipment out of.

VCB
VCB (Visual Contact Broken), is a racing crew formed by Marty Banks and Ming Jingtai and is named after Marty's automotive resale buisness. VCB contains many members of Gulag Gang but also contains members from rival gangs. Compared to other racing crews, VCB are known to be violent when it comes to dealing with the SRU. Due to their gang roots, it is uncommon for members of VCB to shy away from the challenge of going up against the PD at the most escalated level.

Vendetta
A racing crew primarily composed of members of Hydra Gang and individuals affiliated with the Harmony Repairs Garage, Vendetta is an up and coming racing crew. Notable individuals include Vincent "Arnie" Carl, Jordan Walker and Juan Carlos Hernandez.

DNF Crew
An amateur racing crew set up to be friendly to under-skilled, entry-level racers and drivers. It was founded by Yuno Sykk, April Fooze, and Penny Farthing as a group of beginner racers that do not take themselves too seriously and often "Do Not Finish" races with more serious racers, hence the name DNF.

F8TE Crew
A mock racing crew began by Chang Gang leader Mr. Kebun shortly after he purchased his McLaren Senna. The crew is set up to compete with the more competitive crews more through their expensive cars than their skill, as Mr. K is not much of a racer. F8TE is sworn enemies of Yokai, specifically their "stans", the Yokult.

Motorcycle Racing Scene
The Bike Racing Scene started off small and intermittent, with organized motorcycle races few and far between and considered rare. The scene began maturing in August 2022 as they began asserting their presence across San Andreas and organizing more races. The scene matured so much that by September 2022, most active street races were seemingly bike-only races.

Firefly
Firefly is a Bike racing crew in Los Santos founded by Scarlett Skye. it consist of most of the members of the bike racing scene, as a way to unite and work together against the Police.
