It&#8217;s being called an &#8220;unprecedented cultural event.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/burgertuning.com\/?srsltid=AfmBOopRJV3FSR7O-i6Fc2W0o-axYTT4YEl6vxjKL1rSet-fIWBz07Vb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Burger Motorsports<\/a> is the manufacturer of the JB4 performance tuner and other street-inspired racing products. They basically sound like the exact company that would have an outing to AMC for a new\u00a0<em>Fast and Furious<\/em> movie or shut down for Grand Theft Auto 6&#8217;s launch.<\/p>\n<p>On Instagram, the company wrote: &#8220;<span style=\"font-size: inherit;\">Burger Motorsports will be observing a temporary company-wide operational pause on Thursday, November 19, 2026. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: inherit;\">After reviewing multiple employee scheduling conflicts, management has determined that normal business operations may be impacted due to the release of Grand Theft Auto 6.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Burger Motorsports added that employees will return to work after exploring Vice City and completing at least one mission. It sounds a bit goofy, but I actually know plenty of people that have taken up to a week off from work to grind a game they&#8217;ve been anticipating. And with Grand Theft Auto 6 being one of the most anticipated games of all time, the company knew it&#8217;d be losing many employees that day anyway.<\/p>\n<h2>What we know about Grand Theft Auto 6<\/h2>\n<p data-slot-rendered-content=\"true\">Grand Theft Auto 6 is available to pre-order later this month. Which is sorta crazy since we know almost <em>nothing<\/em> about the game. There is a female protagonist for the first time and it takes place in Vice City, based on Miami. Beyond that, we just know it&#8217;ll be the biggest in the series yet.<\/p>\n<p data-slot-rendered-content=\"true\">But that&#8217;s about it, despite getting the first trailer two years ago. The most recent news was just an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=EiQEBYDox_k\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">official cover art reveal<\/a>. (One comment read: &#8220;R<span class=\"ytAttributedStringHost ytAttributedStringWhiteSpacePreWrap\" dir=\"auto\" role=\"text\">eady for a 2 hour long video analysis of this?&#8221;) <\/span><span style=\"font-size: inherit;\">With Rockstar being so tight-lipped, a lot of desperate gamers have attempted to leak information (leading to arrests) and there have been drones flying around the studio as fans attempt to catch a glimpse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-slot-rendered-content=\"true\">Despite knowing basically\u00a0<em>nothing<\/em> about the game, we can easily guess there will be cars. Car theft and racing was a huge part of the previous Grand Theft Auto 5 and GTA Online. It&#8217;s not surprising to see the tuning company getting excited for the game based on assumptions alone. And it acted as a bit of a publicity stunt as well.<\/p>\n<p data-slot-rendered-content=\"true\">Grand Theft Auto 6 is allegedly coming November 19th. However, there have been plenty of delays, and I sort of am expecting another based on how little information we have about the game. So Burger Motorsports may have to change thier company holiday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is going viral on the gaming side of the news, but I thought I&#8217;d let the auto side in &#8230; <\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more-container\"><a title=\"A car tuning company just announced it&#8217;s closing the day Grand Theft Auto 6 launches, telling staff they can come back to work once they&#8217;ve reached Vice City and finished at least one mission\" class=\"read-more button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.autonocion.com\/us\/car-company-closed-for-gta-6\/#more-11089\" aria-label=\"Read more about A car tuning company just announced it&#8217;s closing the day Grand Theft Auto 6 launches, telling staff they can come back to work once they&#8217;ve reached Vice City and finished at least one mission\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":11402,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11089","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cars","resize-featured-image"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.autonocion.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11089","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.autonocion.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.autonocion.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.autonocion.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.autonocion.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11089"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.autonocion.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11089\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11401,"href":"https:\/\/www.autonocion.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11089\/revisions\/11401"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.autonocion.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11402"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.autonocion.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11089"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.autonocion.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11089"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.autonocion.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11089"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
