The latest update is called “Arena War”, which aims at adding a competitive mode that sounds very intense. Here’ s the official description of what Arena War might look like:
"Enter Arena War, where ruthless gladiatorial combat meets the bleeding-edge of vehicular modification technology in one spectacular--and highly combustible--competition," reads a line from Rockstar's official description.
The event will take place inside the Maze Bank Arena, apparently, and it will see players fighting until the grisly end, apparently. "Sign up and embark on an entirely new career under the stratospheric dome of the Maze Bank Arena, one that involves turning your opponent's brains into pulp on the steering wheel in the name of entertainment, courtesy of Alan Jerome Productions," reads another line from the description. Stop envying others, you have the opportunity to be 1 position in GTA 5 Online Mode too, all you need is:

Seven New Modes
First, the latest update features the addition of seven new modes based on combat. The seven new modes are called Carnage (vehicle deathmatch), Flag War (capture the flag), Wreck It (a trap-heavy racing mode), Tag Team (tag in and out of the fight with another player), Games Masters (one team hits checkpoints while their opponents control hazards to stop them), Here Come the Monsters (survival mode against an opposing team of monster trucks) and Hot Bomb (sounds filthy, but you pass the bomb by crashing into other players).
Arena Workshop
The update also adds the Arena Workshop, where you can customise these vehicles. The Arena Workshop property inside the Maze Bank Arena, which includes an office and options to add Arena, Benny’s, and Mobile Operations Center Mechanics, vehicle storage, interior customization and more. The workshop costs a minimum $995,000 fee from what I can tell, and they're based inside the Maze Bank Arena. This isn't a mandatory purchase to participate in the new Arena War content, but it sounds like you'll need one to have a 'career' in Arena War and earn AP, which unlocks further rewards. I've mailed Rockstar to double check that detail.
