Need bucks for your dream ride? Here are the fastest, smartest ways to grind cash in The Crew Motorfest.
Everyone has a dream car. Getting it in real life isn’t easy, so buying it in racing games like The Crew Motorfest is the best option.
However, since the best cars in Ubisoft’s open-world racer are also very expensive, you’ll want to do everything you can to earn money as fast as possible. Thankfully, there are some things you can do to fill your bank faster than if you were to just play through the playlists.
01
Best playlists for fast cash
First of all, there are two playlists that you should focus on if you’re looking to make money quickly. Also, since playlists are infinitely replayable in The Crew Motorfest, you can grind them to make as much money as you need in as little time as possible.
The first playlist to play through is the Hawaii Scenic Tour Playlist. For the most part, it is a generic playlist. However, it has everything you’re looking for in a money-making option.
Each of the races that are a part of it is short, easy to win, and rewards you with decent financial prizes. If you want to sit back and relax, completing some nice and easy races, the Hawaii Scenic Tour Playlist is the perfect choice.
The second option is playing the Liberty Walk playlist. The majority of the playlist is simple, rewarding you with pretty standard rewards for regular-length races, but the final race in the playlist offers a massive payout.
You’ll get 62,625 bucks for completing the final race, which is a long adventure across the majority of Hawaii’s main island. It’ll take you a while, but it’s one the best races in the whole game, and the payout is more than double what you’ll get for most races. Since you get to see a lot of the map during the event, it’s a fun one to replay if you’re grinding for more money, too.
02
Complete event challenges
No matter what you’re doing in The Crew Motorfest, it’s worth keeping challenges in mind. You can earn XP and money by completing small objectives called events in Ubisoft's game. By doing things such as owning a certain number of a vehicle type or driving for a set number of miles, you’ll get bonus XP and bucks to spend on new cars.
Head into the Activities menu and activate the ones you think you’ll be able to complete without going out of your way. The bucks rewards aren’t big enough to be worth focusing on solely, but they are great for bonuses on top of completing playlists and other races.
Red Bull Playground & events
While none of the individual challenges and events offer big rewards, heading to the Red Bull Playground on Maui Island is an efficient way to earn money.
There are plenty of feats and challenges to complete on the island, but you’ll also find the entirety of the Red Bull Speed Clash playlist there. Added in Season 6, the playlist is a thrilling chance to jump into iconic Red Bull vehicles, including Max Verstappen’s RB20 F1 car.
The events themselves give standard monetary rewards, but it only takes a few seconds to drive between each event. That means you’re not wasting valuable money-making time driving between race locations while you’re trying to earn money. You can grind the easy set of seven races quickly to get the money you need.
Efficient grinding tips
There’s one final way to make money fast in The Crew Motorfest, and it involves gaming the system a little bit.
The Escape events can be found all over Hawaii and ask you to escape from a circle by driving as fast as you can. Once you escape, you’re rewarded with 2,000 bucks. On its own, that’s not much money at all, but when repeated quickly, you will be earning money quickly.
What you need to do in The Escape events is quickly stop once you escape the zone. Then, let it catch up to you and select ‘retry’ when prompted. That will bank the previously earned 2,000 bucks and let you repeat the sequence.
Therefore, depending on how quickly you stop and let the zone catch you, you may be able to earn 2,000 bucks every 20 seconds or so. That means you’ll be racking up cash in no time at all. You just won’t be doing much in terms of real progression. If you’re just trying to save for an expensive new car, though, then there’s no better way to go about it.
By following all of those tips, you’ll fill up your in-game wallet and will have all the money you need for pretty much any car in The Crew Motorfest.
