Very odd that it says available May 14th. The current sequence ends on June 4th. A Ferrari playlist is plausible, though, as we have Lambo and Porsche already.

The "back on track" feature always resetting the car to stationary is an interesting one, that should eliminate some reset opportunities and greatly reduce the benefit of any that remain beneficial.

Probably may for the test server they are testing the new update within
 
I wonder what they mean by New Prestige Ticket Shop. Are they adding content or a way to get the tickets with e.g. bucks?

Also Ferrari... YUM. I love me some Ferrari!

I think it probably just means that another season of content will be added, which will happen every season now.

They should start adding past custom show vanities into the prestige shop aswell.

Lots of content locked away just because... fomo? Stupid decisions?

I don't have the exact list so I'm not sure but Motorfest exclusive vanities should all appear in the Prestige shop. While vanities from TC2 are not gonna make it. So the Bold rooftop (Airplane > Custom Show Platinum reward) from last month and the Monster Rock kit engine effect should be available.... sometime next year.

I hope they add tuning parts that allow to do like that Redbull Formula in the playlist in the newest playlist.

I dunno, I enjoyed that idea.
 
It would be extremely useful if tire vanities would do their job rather than being just a cosmetic option. It really break immersion when a Rally car can drive off-road on slicks without problems but the Alpha GT is all over the place even when you put tractor tires on. 🤣
 
From the numbers of players on each summit leaderboard, people really don't want to buy the Lambo boat, that event had half the number of players as all the others when I looked. But, because it's fair pvp, if you have someone to crew up with, you can do it with a loan version and there's little disadvantage, so it was one of the easiest summits ever for me to get platinum on the alt accounts using the loan Lambo boat, I got top 500.
 
I feel like one of the biggest flaws in the design of the Crew games is the management of the cars and parts you own.

When you start on a new account it's absolute bliss. You start to buy the few cars you need - the meta and near-meta cars for each category, you get a few parts, it's all nice and manageable.

But then each summit the game "forces" you to buy some completely useless vehicles. Over time your garage becomes completely unmanageable. Eventually you don't want to do grand races because you can't scan through your car list quickly enough. And when doing an activity you want parts for, you might have multiple parts sets of a given type, so you have to try to find the one you need. Or maybe you're doing a slalom and you just want to use whatever category of car you have a scorebreaker set for, but you can't remember what category has that, so you're checking your Alpha GPs, your hypercars, your street cars, to see if there's a full scorebreaker set anywhere.

Every week, your garage contains more and more useless cars and you have more and more parts, and the game becomes less pleasant to play. It's okay at first, some collecting of cars and parts is satisfying, but there fairly quickly comes a point where it feels like you're surrounded by clutter, and it's unpleasant. It needs the ability to set favourites (not one car, plane, boat, but as many as you want, like FH) and pretend all the other vehicles don't exist. Parts sets need to be separated from cars so you can choose from a list of parts sets and much more easily see a list of the parts sets you have.
 
As for the Lambo Boat... it's a nice design. Its performance is decent. It's not affected by waves as much, especially because of its huge hull.

But the high price tag and the cannot use livery editor (which is what many vehicles added in Motorfest are like! So annoying!) were my complaints.
Well, I had no choice but to buy it.
 
It was a pretty awful decision by them to include that boat, it felt unnecessary.

They could have easily used a cheaper powerboat or any powerboat, I also felt I had no choice but to buy it.
 
Much better summit, actual cars in actual races on dry land! I remember those!. Nice to have something I can sink my teeth into, no bikes, boats, aircraft or tedious point scoring events happy days ;-)

I'm looking forward to see if they'll add more endurance racing tracks at some point but somewhere else than Hanauma.

2 of those "races" are "follow the signs" events (I always get confused immediately after the left turn at the roundabout in one of them) and one is basically a car delivery event a la TDU... ;)

You might not say that next week - it's wall to wall Monster Trucks :lol:
I'll miss that week as I'll be watching some cars go round Circuit da Catalunya ;)

Catalunya (is that the world series of reliant robin racing? "El Tippo"), watching the F1 in the sun hard life eh? im envious. With a bit of luck those monster trucks might be rally raid rather than crew 2 trick-mobiles.

I'd rather watch El Tippo than El Crapico :lol:

Not gonna reach level 20 in Main Stage this month as a result, which is a minor irritation.
 
Grr i had some strange error last night and couldn't get in the server "false start-30" never seen that before i spent ages doing the normal ps5 trouble shooting and nothing worked even staying offline until the start your engines screen comes up then going online and joining didn't work. My pc was still running so i tried signing into my ubi account through their app to see if anything had happened to my account after a few updates i logged in everything looked normal and when i turned back to the ps5 it had finally gone past the start your engines screen and logged me in ! very strange indeed surly a coincidence ?

Managed to sneak on for an hour this morning before I left and squeaked over level 20. Only had time to complete 2 summit events for the Main Stage XP - playing "Burnout Takedown" in a Monster Truck was a bloody laugh though 😆 More please!

Are IVT and Ubisoft planning to add the upper left island on next year too? Imagine the badassitude that it'd add to the game!

Since the expansion came with Season 5 I don't think we will see anything before Season 10. That would also give them time to add 6 ore more playlists to Maui.
If there's going to be another island added. I'm not an expert but I wonder how much more can the map grow. That upper island looks so ready thought.

From the times I’ve found myself up near that upper island, I’ve always wondered that if they weren’t gonna use it, why even put in the effort to make it look decently pretty?

Especially if it’s just outside the invisible Out Of Bounds line.

In fact, I decided to do a little digging and noticed this..

Notice how close Maui is in this pic to the mainland from earlier in the games life?

IMG_1952.jpeg

Now compare it to this one, notice the gap between the two is longer and the land mass is different at its closest point to O’ahu?

So if we follow the logic that’s so far established with connecting with Maui, if/when they add that 3rd island, it’ll likely be pushed back geographically to accommodate any bridges to connect to it.

Plus, it’d be the perfect place to do an ultra long race across all 3 islands, either as a point to point or a full circuit tour of Hawaii. :D
 
I'm all for adding more islands, but at the same time, I also like updates that add large-scale facilities to existing maps, like Hoonigan and Redbull, so I'd like to see those kind of updates as well.

For example, I would like to see a large stunt arena like the monster truck arena in TC2, or a futuristic circuit built on water like the AGP event in TC2.
 
I wonder if the go-ahead is related to the recent investments by Tencent. Wouldn't be a surprise to see the next game set in China.
