Unleashing the Chase Squad!

One of the most important content landing onto the islands of Hawaii through the Year 2 pass is the Chase Squad and its dedicated playlist

Players will join Murdock, Glitch and Spam as the fourth member of the squad and learn the ropes of the chase in a new playlist featuring adrenaline-fueled night pursuits. They will have to show to everyone they’ve got what it takes, ascending from rookie status to becoming a revered member of the team.

Let’s take a closer look at what the Chase Squad offers and how players can join in on the action.

"For the Chase Squad, we wanted to bring the fantasy of the chase that players love, while adding a twist to the experience with a different approach. We introduced the rivalry between the Chase Squad and the Street Racers, organised as a new Motorfest experience.
As a player, you will join the Motorfest Chase Squad and progress from rookie to full member of the team. From mastering the basics of squad driving to immersing yourself in relentless, brutal and uncompromising chase action against street rivals.

We have pulled out all the stops to deliver this unique playlist, including: a visceral and impactful musical approach (embodied by an original creation with Carpenter Brut), new game modes featuring spectacular chases and takedowns, a very special line-up of highly customisable vehicles that are enhanced at night, and open-world activities against rivals to continue the highly crafted playlist experience."

[h2]Playlist Overview [/h2]
Chase Squad is all about high-speed pursuits, adrenaline fuelled chases, and precision takedowns. Let’s take a look at what you can expect when first diving into the playlist.

First up, Murdock and the squad will take you out onto their training grounds and teach you the art of precision target smashing. Once you're ready, then you'll face your teammate Glitch in a high-speed chase drill. Next, no more babysitting it’s time for a real test.

It's time for your first patrol. Follow the intel from Sam in the chopper to the destination to locate your target and get ready to head into pursuit. Once Sam has spotted a speedster it’s now up to you to catch them!

Sound good? Well, what are you waiting for? The Chase Squad is waiting for you!

[h2]Rivals Chase [/h2]
But the excitement doesn't stop at the playlist!

Players will embark on a spectacular hunt to seek out, outmanoeuvre, and take down their street racing adversaries in dynamic face-offs across the entire island. From sleek speedsters to rugged road warriors, players will have to master the chase squad fleet and demonstrate their prowess on the asphalt.



The open-world aspect of the Chase Squad introduces a unique twist to traditional racing gameplay. Instead of confined tracks or scripted events, rival chases happen in the open world of Motorfest. These pursuits can take you through city streets, rugged mountains, or coastal highways, creating unpredictable and thrilling chases where every decision matters. You'll need to use every bit of your driving skill, area knowledge, and strategy to catch or outrun your rivals.

[h2]How to Unlock the Rivals Board [/h2]
To unlock the Rivals Board, players must complete the Chase Squad playlist. Rivals Board then, becomes available, opening up the world of high-speed pursuits and relentless rivalries.

[h2]Launching a Rivals Chase [/h2]
Once you've unlocked the Rivals Chase, you can select a target and begin the hunt using the provided intel. Your task is to locate the rival in their preferred territory, tracking them through the open world until you finally flush them out. Once you’ve caught sight of them, the chase begins. Stay on their tail long enough, and you’ll get the chance to engage in a high-speed rival showdown.



Each rival presents a unique challenge, with different cars and racing styles. You'll need to adapt your strategy based on your opponent’s strengths, making every chase a thrilling test of skill. Pick your rival, choose your car, and prepare for an intense, head-to-head pursuit.

[h2]Rival Takedown Rewards[/h2]

Custom Mode Improvements!

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!
