-'''8-Track''' is a side mission in ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]''. It is located in the [[Los Santos Forum]] and is started by stepping into the red cylinder only if the Driving Skill is at least 20%. The goal of the mission is to be first in a stock-car style race in with [[Hotring Racer]]s around a short-track that shapes like the number "8" for 12 laps. The reward for completing the mission is $10,000, the #21 [[Hotring Racer#Designs and Variants|"hotring" variant]] of the Hotring Racer, a [[Monster]] spawn at the entrance of the stadium, and a step closer to [[100% Completion in GTA San Andreas|100% completion]].
+'''8-Track''' is a racing side mission in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] held at the [[Los Santos Forum]] in [[Playa del Seville]]/[[East Beach]], [[Los Santos]].
-The track is also named after the [[Wikipedia:8-track tape|antiquated form of media]] that predated the cassette tape.
+== Description ==
+-Track is similar to the [[Hotring]] event in GTA Vice City in that the player is required to compete in a 12-lap, stock-car style endurance race on a #21 [[Hotring Racer#Designs and variants|"hotring" Hotring Racer]] around a figure-8 circuit against 11 other competitors. Unlike Hotring, however, the durability of the player's and competitors' Hotring Racer is much better (although it is still less so than most road vehicles), and the pitstop is no longer available; the player must also finish first to receive any reward. In addition, players must have a sufficiently high [[Statistics|driving skill]] (at least 20% full) to enter for an 8-Track race.
-You have to be careful when racing all 12 laps of the 8-track as the [[Hotring Racer]] is rather fragile and will frequently catch fire before you manage to finish the race.
+Completion of 8-Track in first place is required for [[100% Completion in GTA San Andreas|100% completion in GTA San Andreas]].
+== Reward ==
+The monetary reward for finishing first in 8-Track is $10,000. In addition, a #21 Hotring Racer and a "monstera" variant [[Monster Truck|Monster]] will spawn on the northwestern corner of Los Santos Forum's parking lot once 8-Track is completed for the first time.
+== Notes ==
+* The 8-Track name carries two meanings, either referring to the figure-8 layout of the track, or the [[wp:8-track tape|antiquated form of media]] that predated the cassette tape.
+* The track features [[wp:JumboTron|jumbotron]]s that display the race in an overhead angle.
