Vendetta/3.0

Vendetta is a competitive racing crew active in the city of Los Santos, known to wear purple vests and masks. They are combined of a total of 15+ members and are known to show strong support for each other at every event.

Initiation Process[]

In order for a racer to be considered for the initiation process, they must first announce their interest in the crew to already members. Once interest is portrayed, members of Vendetta will come together to discuss if there would be any issues with the racer contending for the crew, if there are no issues or concerns, the racer will be allowed to proceed with the process.

Joining Vendetta requires a racer to pass a specified time on the "Vendetta Initiation" track. This track was created piece by piece by members of the racing crew, resulting in a circuit that ventures across the entire city and takes around 24 minutes to complete. An initiation track attempt allows a racer to complete the circuit three times, if any of these attempts succeed a time less than 24:00:00, the racer is welcomed to Vendetta and ushered into the V.A.G.

However, it should be noted that if a racer is to reach their third attempt, members of Vendetta will join in with their final lap and race alongside the contender- their last attempt being in unity with Vendetta members. If this final attempt is failed, the racer may be allowed to try again a few months down the line but will ultimately be rejected from joining the crew.

Background Information[]

Vendetta was first created by workers at Harmony Repairs Garage and members of Hydra Gang during January 2022. This was during a time that many race crews began to pop up around the city and gain popularity in the street racing scene, giving Vendetta the chance to flourish and collect an arsonal of top tier racers to compete against other racing crews.

The naming of the crew was first coined by these members, the term "Vendetta" signifying revenge and the feud's that would take place during races. It didn't take long for the crews popularity to rise with some of the top racers joining and finding a spotlight in the racing scene due to their place in the crew. It can also be said that tournaments against other racing crews often concluded with a win towards Vendetta, further increasing their street racing reputation.

The Lamborghini Countach Boost

May 21st 2022 - The Lamborghini Countach Boost

During the early hours of May 21st, Vendetta members and associates came together after the promise of being given an S+ boost contract by the puppet, Eugene "Earl" Jackson. Those among this group were: Bwo, MigL, Fury, MG, Nikolai Filatov and Scarlett Skye. All members of the group wearing Hydra Gang masks and repping personalised Vendetta liveries.

While gathering in Little Seoul, Earl pulled up in his Koenigsegg Jesko and began to speak with the group. He spoke on the changes that were to come to the boosting scene and handed the S+ contract for the Lamborghini Countach to Flippy. Soon after entering the "Snake Pit", Earl had left and the group began to prep for the job ahead of them. After paying the 1500 GNE fee to scratch the car, the boost began.

With the whole group working to secure the boost, Arnie managed to outdrive all the cops with the help of Niko's hacking skills. The boost was successful, Flippy vin scratching the vehicle with ease and taking it to the Tuner Shop to add customisations to it.

Ace Carter showed interest to join Vendetta right before he was invited to Hydra gang. He is also known as a really good racer, so it wasn't so much the question for Vendetta members of if they wanted to invite him, but when they wanted to invite him. At the first 2 attempts, he got unlucky and didn't finish the race. The third attempt was something special, since it was the best time anyone ever got in their initiation and at the moment it was the 5th best time ever on the track. This secured him the spot in Vendetta and he was invited to the VAG, where he was given his Vendetta bandana and invited to the crew battles that they will be having against Prism.
