That's where I'm currently are too, just above 2000th. And that's pretty much how I end up most of the time in the summits. But I was expecting to be way lower due to a lot more people trying harder this time because of the platinum car.
I think what will probably happen is that the people around that level won't try any harder, because they don't need to. People who normally finish 8000th, for example, might find they have to work harder to still get platinum, because people who normally finish 12000th will try to get into the top 10k, so I think it will compress everyone's scores in more like the 6000th-14000th region. Someone around that level probably couldn't beat your score even if they spent an hour on each event.
Seeing how late they added the Race Creator to TC2, I'm going to guess it won't come to Motorfest for another year or two.
It was mentioned in an interview that's on the official discord:
"The Crew 2 just received the very requested Track Editor/Race Creator. Could we see that added to the Motorfest?
Julien: So one thing the people, the players have to know. It's not because it happened in one game(The Crew 2), that it will happen in The Crew Motorfest. Clearly we have teams working on both games. And it's not because of the feature, Motorfest is built like from skratch, so the feature is not appearing automatically. I would love to, my life would be so easy, if feature existing on one side could come to the other side."
I brought the Crew 2 as it was cheap as chips and then thought Motorfest is on special lets get that. And I have to say graphically and sound wise TCM is a big step up. Its nice and bright and colorful whereas the TC2 felt a it dreary. It is an older game after all. It has Forza Horizon vibes but it feels like its own thing. I've just started with the Hawaiian Scenic Tour but I don't mind the playlists. They all have a theme of their own and feel like fun. I'm looking forward to finding the time to explore the game fully.
I feel TCM goes a bit TOO far with the exaggerated vividness, but it's definitely a massively better looking game than TC2, the lighting and reflections stand out to me as much better. Many of the playlists are really good, with a lot of variety, but I did one recently that felt a bit FM-style plain race after plain race, think it was the Liberty Walk one. One tip - if a car can be bought in both TC2 and TCM, it's better to buy it in TC2 because:
1) It's massively quicker to earn credits in TC2. If you spend 15 mins a day doing High Speed Takedown you'll quickly have a lot of credits.
2) The same car is cheaper in TC2 than TCM. I don't know if this is 100% universally true, but for the cars I've looked at, they have all been significantly cheaper in TC2.
3) The sync only works one way, so if you buy a car in TC2 you get it in TCM as well, but not the other way round.
