The Crew Motorfest - General Discussion

The madman has done it!

I don't know of another method, but if you go in Photo Mode right after finishing a race and then press the right stick (R3?) you can watch the last 2 minutes of the race. I'm using that for photograph rival cars.

The replay system is actually quite good, if it weren't for the nasty sound bug that your gear almost always is getting stuck in 1st gear during the replay.

For those who aren't already aware, the Roffo Red Line tyre is one of the meta options. It moves the wheels farther apart, making the car handle better. It's available in the TCM shop this week for 10k crew credits, so I bought it, as I had enough from the crew credits available for free in-game from doing challenges. I'll post some images later to show how you can compare it against other tyres, but it makes the wheels wider than any other tyre I have. Red StormX and French Touch are the best of the rest of what I have.

Edit: Okay, just had time to make some images. To replicate this, change the tyre for the Nomad Rally Raid vehicle, and move the right stick up and to the right until the view stops moving. You should then see the exact same image as these. On the top one, I've added a red arrow to show where to look. You can see that the tyre is moving the location of where the suspension attaches to the body, making some tyres give wider wheel separation than others. I don't know just how much difference it makes to times, I'm not consistent enough to replicate my times all that accurately anyway, but maybe I'll try Roffo Red Line vs UFO some time.

Just wondering, I think I've seen the game tell something about 4 months of content right when logging in after the expansion notification.

Does that mean we'll have 4 months of street racing based content?

@breeminator Akorr did a list of the best tires to use while Trigger (Militia Gaming) did one explaining how to test it properly. Maybe it could help. Personally I can't feel enough difference and I'm not consistent enough to benefit, but he can run a second faster and that is a lot for a fast driver.

Didn't noticed that. I don't think we will see anything other the 2 pass cars in December. Maybe a new playlist in January? Hope I'm wrong.

Wow, I beat Trigger, and I didn't even watch a video to see the cuts/resets, I worked out my own way of doing it, though I have done this route in a previous summit and I did it a fair bit in custom mode when the new leaderboards launched.

However, I have no idea how the top time of 2:33 is possible!

Great work! I wonder if prestige tickets will affect the participation in summits? (I used to do summits weekly) but I'd rather earn the cars in custom mode as Ive run out of shop cars to buy now. Summits are the only time I get annoyed with the game this weeks slalom with the excessive traffic was genuinely terrible.

Is it possible to get enough prestige tickets from custom mode to buy everything available? Custom mode feels like a bit of a grind due to the workflow, as it doesn't put you back to the custom mode page after you do an event, so it's much less slick than main stage legacy where you can just instantly move on to the next event. So I enjoy custom mode for doing the same event multiple times to try to get a good time, but doing each event once with each vehicle type feels a bit painful.

Re the slalom, with a score breaker set it doesn't matter for getting platinum as you get almost maximum summit points just plodding along carefully. But the traffic is RNG, I got a completely traffic free run within about 10 attempts. You can also try to find a quiet time of day - the game is on a 24 hour cycle every hour, so on the hour is always midnight in the game, Trigger seems to do a lot of his feat performances when it's night in the game, but I've found it can still be pretty quiet for traffic for a short period after sunrise.

Right now you need 27k for 6 cars and 14k for all the vanities. If you complete every event you should be having 70k. But yeah it's a huge grind. The good thing is that you get money and exp. I finished 12 playlists so far and got 47k prestige and leveled up to lv130.
I always start each race in Motocross bike then chose faster vehicles as I progress trough all the classes. As soon as the race ends I press pause (reconfigure?) which takes you to the start menu. Then I select the next class. It's the most efficient way but it's still a grind. Completing races in each class takes 40 minutes to an hour. And you have 6-9 races per playlist. 22 playlists. It's a lot.
