Navigating the Motorfest Car Market

The shop in The Crew Motorfest is your one-stop destination for acquiring new vehicles. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how it works:

• Accessing the Shop: As mentioned, simply pause the game and select “Shop” from the main menu. This will transport you to the virtual dealership.

• Browsing the Inventory: The shop is organized to help you find what you’re looking for. You’ll typically find categories like:

  • Manufacturers: Browse cars by brand, allowing you to focus on your favorite automakers.
  • Disciplines: Filter vehicles based on their intended racing discipline, such as Street Race, Drift, Drag, Offroad, or Hypercar. This is crucial for finding the right tool for the job.
  • New Arrivals: Check out the latest additions to the Motorfest’s ever-growing vehicle roster.
  • Bundles: Discover pre-packaged deals that often include a car and associated customization options for a discounted price. These can be a great value.

• Vehicle Details: When you select a car, you’ll be presented with a detailed information screen. This includes:

  • Performance Stats: Key stats like Top Speed, Acceleration, Handling, and Braking are displayed, giving you a quick overview of the vehicle’s capabilities.
  • Discipline: Confirms the primary discipline the car is designed for.
  • Price: Shows the cost in Bucks, the in-game currency.
  • 3D Model: A rotating 3D model allows you to inspect the car’s appearance from all angles.

• Making the Purchase: If you have enough Bucks and the vehicle fits your needs, simply select the “Purchase” option. The car will be added to your garage immediately.

Alternative Car Acquisition Methods

While the shop is the primary way to buy cars, The Crew Motorfest offers other exciting avenues for expanding your collection:

• Playlists: Completing Playlists, themed series of races and challenges, often rewards you with unique vehicles. These cars are frequently exclusive to the Playlist and cannot be purchased directly from the shop. The Hawaii Scenic Tour playlist is a good starting point for practical rewards.
• Events: Participating in special events and competitions can also unlock cars. These events often feature limited-time vehicles or rare models.
• Challenges: Some challenges tied to sponsors or specific in-game activities may reward you with cars upon completion.
• Importing from The Crew 2: The Crew Motorfest features a vehicle import system. If you own The Crew 2, you can import a significant portion of your existing vehicle collection into Motorfest. However, not all vehicles are eligible for import, so be sure to check the compatibility list. To do this, open the main menu and select “Options”. In ”Game Settings”, choose ”Import My Collection”.

Currencies: Bucks and Crew Credits

Understanding the game’s currency system is essential for buying cars effectively. The Crew Motorfest uses two main currencies:

• Bucks: This is the primary in-game currency earned by completing races, challenges, and other activities. Bucks are used to purchase most vehicles and customization options.
• Crew Credits: This is a premium currency that can be purchased with real money. Crew Credits can be used to buy exclusive vehicles, vanity items, and accelerate your progress. While not necessary to enjoy the game, Crew Credits offer a convenient way to acquire desired items quickly.

Managing Your Garage

Once you’ve started acquiring cars, managing your garage becomes important:

• Accessing Your Garage: Your garage, also referred to as your Profile, is where all your purchased and unlocked vehicles are stored. You can access it from the main menu.
• Vehicle Selection: From the garage, you can select the vehicle you want to use for upcoming races or open-world exploration.
• Customization: The garage also allows you to customize your vehicles with visual parts, liveries, colors, and performance upgrades.

Now that you have a solid understanding of how to buy cars in The Crew Motorfest, you can start building your dream garage and dominating the leaderboards!
