The Crew Motorfest News

Motorfest is continuing to innovate and improving ways for Festival-goers to engage and compete with the improvement of Custom Mode. The feature now offers players an exciting opportunity to earn the brand-new Prestige Tickets. Let's dive into what Custom Mode is all about, how it works, and how players can use Prestige Tickets to unlock exclusive rewards.

[h2]How Custom Mode Works [/h2]

Custom Mode provides a flexible framework for players to customize their racing experience. After completing a playlist, you can tweak various elements like weather, add modifiers, change the time of day, and change vehicle discipline, allowing you to tune the event to your liking. These custom setups lead to a more personalized and engaging Motorfest experience.

By completing races in Custom Mode, players are rewarded for their creativity and performance with a valuable in-game currency: Prestige Tickets.

To win Prestige Tickets, players must complete challenges or objectives tied to their custom races. The system encourages experimentation, rewarding creativity and skill with in-game currency that can be used to access previous exclusive content.

[h2]Enhanced Custom Mode leaderboards
[/h2]
With these Custom Mode enhancements, we've also introduced an extra layer of competitiveness. For each Custom Mode configuration (such as Street Tier 1, Street Tier 2, Hypercar, etc.), a dedicated leaderboard will be available. For instance, players competing in Kiss Me Kombi will be able to find leaderboards for the Hypercar category, as well as for Street Tier 1, Street Tier 2, Drift, Alpha Grand Prix, Demolition Derby, Monster Truck, Motocross, Racing, Rally, and Rally Raid within the Custom Mode settings. Now it's up to you to become the ultimate Motorfest driver and claim the top spot on every leaderboard!

[h2]What are Prestige Tickets? [/h2]

Prestige Tickets are a new in-game currency introduced alongside Custom Mode. These tickets are earned by completing races in Custom Mode, participating to Summit Contests and Main Stage events. This new currency has been designed to reward players for their investment in playing and competing in The Crew Motorfest. There's a whole new panel to keep track of your progress and see which Prestige Tickets are within your reach!

If you're curious about how many tickets you can unlock, here's a scale! Each playlist will be able to unlock around 3,500 tickets if you go through the full Custom Mode with it. 200 tickets will be available during some Summit Contest, and the amount may be increased on special occasions.

As it's a new feature, we'll be paying close attention to the player's reception and fine-tuning it as we go. Don't hesitate to let us know what you think!

[h2]What Can You Buy with Prestige Tickets? [/h2]

The Prestige Ticket Menu offers a selection of previous Summit Contest exclusive items, from rare cars to premium customizations. Players can browse and spend their tickets on a variety of options to enhance their racing experience.

With your Prestige Tickets, you will be able to purchase rewards from past Summit Contests each season. There will be a 2 Season gap between the availability of a reward from a Summit and its appearance in the store.

With this new system, we aim to give players the opportunity to unlock rewards they may have missed in the past, while ensuring that those participating in the Summit Contest continue to receive priority access

[h2]Conclusion [/h2]

Custom Mode offers a personalized racing experience with a rewarding progression system. Earn Prestige Tickets by completing custom challenges to unlock exclusive rewards, from rare cars to unique upgrades. Dive in, customize your races, and see where your creativity leads!

The Crew Motorfest is reaching new levels with the addition of a brand-new island free for all players, Maui! Famous for its breathtaking landscapes and perfectly designed for exciting adventures, Maui brings even more opportunities for exploration, fun and competition, to the game. You will also be able to discover numerous technical improvements brought to our world.

Here's everything you need to know about this exciting island expansion to Motorfest!

[h2]Welcome to Maui! [/h2]

Adding an island was a challenge that our teams loved to tackle, but one of the challenges was access to it. After studying several solutions, we decided to connect O’ahu and Maui with a network of bridges.

This network of bridges and its surrounding area offer a seamless transition to Maui, without any loading time. this area has also been built not only as a connection between island but as a full playground and an important landmark for other activities such as grand race, feats and more!



Maui brings the ultimate tropical island experience to life, giving players access to one of the most beautiful areas in Motorfest. The island’s stunning landscapes include lush rainforests, curvy mountain roads, volcanic cliffs, red sand beaches, teeming cities and more!

One highlight is the Bamboo Forest, a peaceful yet mysterious area where sunlight streams through tall bamboo, creating an unmissable and immersive driving experience. Players can also race on the famous Road to Hana, a winding route with tight turns, cliffs, and waterfalls. But players will have to be careful, this road illustrates perfectly the new type of road layout we have implemented on Maui with new banking and curves that will put your driving skills to the test.



At the centre of the island players will find Haleakala, a massive caldera featuring steep slopes and old lava flows. Racing around it offers some of the most exciting and intense moments that players will experience at Motorfest

These new environments are only 3 of the 9 new main areas you will have the opportunity to explore at launch on November 6th, so be sure to book your ticket!

"Maui stands out for the richness and diversity of its biomes. The island is home to a semi-extinct volcano, offering an opportunity to play with the theme of fire. Its smoke, visible from afar, makes it an iconic feature of the island. Maui's main town, Kalui, is distinguished from Honolulu by its lower, more spread-out architecture, with a smaller town centre and picturesque canals. This configuration creates a unique urban environment." Jean Christophe - Associate Art Director

[h2]New Tech: Plume & Road Banking [/h2]

With the addition of Maui into Motorfest, we also are introducing new tech features dedicated to enhancing players’ gameplay experience. One of these is the plume system, which makes smoke, dust, and debris react more realistically to vehicles, especially in off-road when each particle is interacts with the players and its vehicles.

Even with over 470 KM of drivable roads, we didn’t just want to add new routes to our world but also new ways to make them your own. One of the key features of Maui is the new road banking system, which gives roads more realistic curves and elevation changes. This makes races feel smoother and more exciting, especially when drifting through tight corners on Maui’s winding roads. This new tech adds more strategy and intensity to every race.

[h2]An Evolving Island [/h2]

Maui is more than just a static map, it’s part of an evolving open world composed of to amazing islands that will continue to grow and change as The Crew Motorfest pushes forward and continues to welcome more guests and content. We already hinted that Season 6 is in the works, and it certainly is, so you can expect new challenges, vehicles, and activities to All along year 2!

[h2]A Must-Visit Destination for Festival-goers! [/h2]

The introduction of Maui to The Crew Motorfest is a game-changer, offering players a rich new environment to explore, race, and conquer. With its diverse landscapes, cutting-edge tech enhancements like plume systems and road banking, and the promise of future content through an evolving map, Maui stands as a must-see destination for any racing fan. Whether you’re here for the scenic views or the thrilling challenges, Maui is the perfect place to continue your Motorfest adventure.

So, gear up and get over there, Maui is waiting!
