You will be able to complete between 50-100 challenges just by driving around Hawaii in the reward cars you receive for completing certain playlists so ensure you have the playlists completed then move on to the challenges where 30 shouldn’t take you long to complete just by working your way through the list.

Take the Wheel
Win 5 custom events
Custom events can be created by going back to any event in a playlist you have already completed then, once in the race menu go to the options on the right and change the vehicle you are going to be in to one of your own or change the event settings to Custom.
You can change things like the weather if you want or just set the race to custom where the race screen will change from the usual event screen to a yellow custom one.
Do this across 5 events which can be the same event if you have one you really like. For me I replayed a few events in the Hawaii Scenic Tour playlist in a much faster car than some of the ones the game has you play in as I like the setting.
You can replay any 5 events using any vehicle (land, sea or air) just as long as it says custom event before you begin and ensure you take the win for all 5 to unlock Take the Wheel.
100 G
Festival Fanfare
Reach Level 15
You will earn XP for every completed in The Crew Motorfest, however, the level of XP you receive will be determined by the difficulty you have the game on as well as the level of the difficulty.
For example, you can have the game on Amateur but then turn that level of difficulty up a few notches to give you a greater XP reward for winning the event.
Essentially, this makes the game a balancing act, you need the right amount of difficulty so you can still win as well as receiving the best rewards your skills will allow you to attain so have a play with the difficulty settings at the start of an event to find the sweet spot for your style of racing.
Eventually you will, after a lot of events having been completed, will reach level 15.
10 G
Passion Project
Spend 1 Million Bucks
Spending a million might seem daunting at first but keep progressing through events where you will easily rack up a million. There’s several cars in game that cost upwards of a million with some costing several million, Bugatti for example has 17 cars for sale with only 1 of these cars being less than a million dollars.
Keep playing through the game purchasing vehicles you need to progress through the game where spending a million dollars will happen through normal gameplay.
10 G
Gearhead vs Collector
Own 30 Vehicles
There are 605 vehicles in The Crew Motorfest at launch, you can own any 30 which you will easily do as you progress through the game as some vehicles are gifted, some are required to play through certain game modes and others you’re going to want just to be able to drive them.
To see the vehicles you own go: Player Menu> Profile> Vehicles, then as long as you have at least 30 vehicles you will unlock Gearhead vs Collector.
50 G
That Pono feeling
Spend 24 Hours in The Crew Motorfest
Keep playing through the game then, once you pass the 24 hour mark in real World time, this one will unlock.

Built Different
Own a vehicle in 10 different vehicle categories
There are 14 different categories in The Crew Motorfest which can be viewed by going: Player Menu> Shop> Vehicle Catalogue> Filters> Vehicle Category where you will be able to filter through every vehicle in a given category.
The 14 vehicle categories in game are as follows:
- Street Tier 1.
- Street Tier 2.
- Drift.
- Racing.
- Dragster.
- Hypercar.
- Alpha GP.
- Motocross.
- Rally Raid.

- Rally.
- Monster.
- Powerboat.
- Plane.
You will receive some vehicles as rewards for completing various playlists so if you leave this as one of your last to unlock in the game you should be fairly well covered.
If you want to get it out of the way then filer by lowest price and purchase 1 vehicle in 10 of the vehicle categories.
50 G
Fan Favorite
Reach maximum level on one vehicle
Each vehicle in the game will have a Perf Level which you can view by going: Player Menu> Profile> Vehicles then scroll through your collection where you will see for example the Toyota Supra Ryujin Edition 2000 which is a reward for completing the Made in Japan playlist have a Perf Level of 481 / 750.
You need to select a vehicle then go to Upgrade and equip the best parts you have available until you meet the requirements for that given vehicle to its maximum.
You will earn car parts by finding treasures and completing events and playlists so keep playing through the game where you will, as long as you ensure you collect the treasures around Hawaii (see Luck is part of talent if you need help finding treasures).
The lower the total Perf Level of a vehicle is the easier it will be to meet the requirements. For example, if you have the Shelby Cobra 427 1964 which is a reward for completing the Vintage Garage playlist, this car only has a maximum Perf Level of 600 whereas the Aston Martin Valkyrie has a maximum Perf Level of 880.
Whichever car you decide to max out, equip the best parts until you hit the required level where you will then unlock Fan Favourite.
50 G
Walk of Fame
Become a Motorfest Legend for the first time
Before you can become a legend, you will firstly need to have completed any 3 playlists which will the give you access to the Main Stage section you can find by going: Player Menu> Activities> Main Stage where you will be presented with 3 timelines.
See Main Stage Headliner for more information on the timelines then keep playing through the game where you will need to reach Rank 4 of a given timeline with the Revisit being the easiest and cheapest to complete.
Once you reach rank 4 you will then be considered a Legend unlock Wal of Fame in the process.

A e s t h e t i c
Complete 20 Photo Ops
Photo Ops will become available once you have completed 1 of the 15 playlists and can be found by going: Player Menu> Activities> Challenges> Choose a Playlist you have completed> Side Activities then scroll down to find the Photo Ops.
Each Photo Op will have specific requirements such as be at a certain area in a particular vehicle at a specific time. For example, in the Made in Japan playlist there is a Photo Op called Nihon No Views – Temple which requires you to take a picture of a Street Tier 2 vehicle with the Japanese Temple located west of Kaneohe at night.
Here’s the location you need in the game:
Once you’re at a given location enter photo mode by pressing left on the d-pad, line up the shot ensuring you have the vehicle and the object(s) in the background and take the photo.
Do this across 20 different Photo Ops to unlock A e s t h e t i c.
10 G
MotorFeats Madness
Perform 31 Different Motorfest Feats
Feats will become available in part as you begin playlists, the more playlists you work through the more feats you will have available which will range between speed traps where you go through a speed camera style checkpoint at or above a designated speed.
You also have escapes where you need to outrun the red barrier getting a certain distance before it catches you and slaloms where you go from left to right following the arrows as you work your way down a series of roads.
There are a lot of Feats you can complete whether you’re on the ground, in the air or racing along the water as long as you have the playlists started for the Feats to appear.
Keep progressing through the game performing the Feats when they become available and you’ll have 31 Feats done soon enough.

Blink and you’ll miss it
Use the fast travel feature for the first time
Head out into Hawaii then simply open your map, go to the South East corner, select the Car Meet option and fast travel to the car meet. Alternatively, play through the game where fast travel will become available a few hours in.

Madcap
Chain a 15 actions combo with Dynamic Freestyle
This will be easiest if you have a plane, one of which you can acquire for free by winning the Kingdom of Lani event in the Hawaii Scenic Tour playlist or you can simply purchase one if you have enough money.
There are several moves you can perform in the air whilst piloting a plane, most of which are done or made a lot easier by holding (PlayStation) Square or (Xbox) X which will then make the plane a lot more agile and able to perform certain actions.
Chaining 15 actions will require you to constantly be on the move and performing actions which only counted as having been completed once I transformed into a car and even then it took a few seconds to unlock to the point I didn’t think it would (you’ll see in the video).
The 15 actions I managed to combo were:
- Take Off: Take off in the plane.
- Low Altitude: You receive this at the same time as take off usually just ensure you stay low to the ground.
- 45 degree Line: Fly upwards at a 45 degree angle.
- Air Drift (Left Wing): Hold (PlayStation) L1 or (Xbox) LB whilst turning left.
- Air Drift (Right Wing): Hold (PlayStation R1 or (Xbox) RB whilst turning right.
- Roll: Hold (PlayStation) Square or (Xbox) X and steer left or right to flip the plane over performing a roll.
- Snap 90 degrees (Right Wing): Double tap (PlayStation) R1 / (Xbox) RB when turning right and holding (PlayStation) Square / (Xbox) X to snap to a 90 degree angle.
- Snap 90 degrees (Left Wing): Double tap (PlayStation) L1 / (Xbox) LB when turning left and holding (PlayStation) Square / (Xbox) X to snap to a 90 degree angle.
- Knife Flight (Right Wing): Angle the tip of the right wing towards the ground and fly along with the wing tip parallel to the ground.
- Knife Flight (Left Wing): Angle the tip of the right wing towards the ground and fly along with the wing tip parallel to the ground.
- Vertical Up: After Take Off hold down on the left stick and push the nose towards the Heavens.
- Nosedive: Aim the nose of the plane towards the ground and accelerate towards the Earth.
- Cobra: Come out of a Nosedive by holding (PlayStation) Square / (Xbox) X and do an over / under flip.
- Close Call: Fly very close to a stationary object taking care not to hit.
- I then transformed into a car and performed a Jump at the crest just before going into the car meet as I had enough speed by lining myself up with the road in the plane.
With at least 15 actions combos performed without crashing, you will then unlock Madcap.

Luck is part of talent
Find and open a Treasure
Treasures can be found as you make your way across Hawaii and are signified by a pulsing effect around your mini-map in the bottom right of your HUD, the closer you get to the treasure, the faster the pulse will go until it goes to around 3 beats a second turning the pulse red and gold.
The treasure box itself is a neon blue box with the MM logo on the side of it and requires you to hold the button as prompted on screen to open the treasure box receiving some random goodies from inside including parts, bucks, XP etc.
I managed to find my first treasure box in the Windward Coast region in South East Kahaluu as per the image below:
Follow the pulsing to the end of the road towards the house on the hill where you will find the treasure box in front of the house. Loot the box to unlock Luck is part of talent.

Parade lap
Travel 40 Kilometers (25 miles) anywhere in Hawaii
You’ll get this one as long as you spend 5-10 minutes driving around Hawaii.
10 G
Oahu Sights
Take 3 photos in the same session
A nice, simple one to unlock. Go anywhere in Hawaii then press left on the d-pad to activate your camera. Line up a shot you like the look and take a photo 3 times to unlock Oahu Sights.
10 G
Pele Shout-out
Reach the summit of the volcano with a ground vehicle.
This is a lot simpler that it sounds with a nice simple trick. First off, get yourself a plane which you can acquire by winning the Kingdom of Lani event in the Hawaii Scenic Tour playlist.
Get in the plane then head over to the West side of Hawaii to the Mauna Pele Bunui Crater district where the volcano is located in the Leeward Coast Region.
How you get to the volcano doesn’t matter, you can drive or fly, however, when you’re close you need to be in a plane, fly up level with the summit of the volcano then press the right stick once you’re above the crater and select the car option where you will transform into a car.
As long as the car lands anywhere on the top of the volcano you will then unlock Pele Shout-out.
10 G
English bunt
Fly under 5 differents bridges in the same session
This can be a tricky one as plane controls aren’t the best in the game, however, you can make turning a lot easier by holding (PlayStation) Square or (Xbox) X which makes the plane turn a lot sharper than it usually would do.
You will, of course, need a plane for this one, one of which you can acquire for free by winning the Kingdom of Lani event in the Hawaii Scenic Tour playlist or just purchase a plane if you have the money spare.
Either way, enter the Car Meet (where you are when you boot the game up) then go: Player Menu> Profile> Vehicle> Choose your plane which will then place you outside the Car Meet on the orange ramp.
- From here, take off without gaining to much altitude and go under the circular black and blue race track over to your right.
- Bank around and go through the circular black and red race track section.
- Stay straight to go through the adjacent black and red circular section of track.
- Next, fly East out towards the bay area then bank around left staying low where you can go under under a low bridge.
- Follow the river to the next bridge you can go under where that will be the 5 complete.
You can crash if you need to just as long as you don’t quit the game or stay idle for too long where you’ll be kicked for inactivity. Take your time and use your brakes until you have flown under 5 bridges in the same session unlocking English Bunt in the process.

Local Luxuries
Stay still for 1 minute on the beach in front of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel
The Royal Hawaiian Hotel is actually the Royal Luau hotel and is situated in the South region in the West of the Waikiki district and is the large pink / peach coloured building on the seafront as per the image:
You need to drive round onto the beach and then leave you car alone, you can use the camera, however, if you rev the engine at all, even if you don’t move it will reset the 1 minute timer.
Ensure you stay put on the beach for at least 1 minute where you will then unlock Local Luxuries.
10 G
Ensnare the Sun
Fly as high as possible.
Pause the game at any point when you’re not in an event then go: Player Menu> Shop> Vehicle Catalogue> Filters> Vehicle Category> Plane> Pilatus PC-21 2002> Test Drive. I believe you can do this in any plane, however, I looked at the stats on available for every plane and this one had the highest top speed.
During a test drive you will have 2 minutes to test out the plane so as soon as the timer starts pull down on the left stick to raise the nose up to the sky. Keep checking you’re going straight up by looking behind you to get your bearings and use the Nitro built into the plane to push yourself towards the Heavens where you need to reach an altitude of over 4,000m.
When you have between 10 and 5 seconds remaining you will have unlock Ensnare the Sun. If you’re unsuccessful try again and keep the plane vertical as best as you can.
10 G
French Toast
Perform a donut move in the Ubisoft logo
The Ubisoft logo can be found in the Central region slightly North from the Off-Roading Addict event and the logo itself is essentially a circular dirt track at this location:
For me, I went into the centre of the logo in between the 2 trellises and performed a donut which is done by holding down both brake and accelerate at the same time then steering hard to the left or right where you will get the donut score +50 pop up on screen.
10 G
Pack Mentality
Join, or form a Crew
Boot up the game then go: Player Menu> Profile> look to the right of the screen where you will see 3 silhouettes, these represent the crew members you can have. Go into Crew Management and ad your friends to a crew or join their crew if they one active.
10 G
The Crew too!
Complete a custom event with a Crew of 4 players
This can be a challenge as finding 3 other players and getting them all in the same crew can prove to be a challenge, we have a Discord where you can arrange and organise crews and play sessions to make this one easier.
You can access custom events by going back to any event you have all completed, such as the first event in a playlist for example then as long as you all choose to enter the event you can race through the event where, as long as you have a crew of 4 you will unlock The Crew too!
10 G
Custo-Mine
Fully customize one vehicle (Visual parts and Livery)
You can customise most vehicles in the game, however, the more expensive the vehicle, the more the parts will cost and if you’re trying to get this done cheaply, saving you more money and time in the long run, I’ve got you covered.
You will need $22,390 spare (20,300 for the vehicle then an additional $2,090 for the parts) then once you have it go: Player Menu> Shop> Vehicle Catalogue> Filters> Price then scroll down to Jeep and purchase the Jeep Wrangler 2012 for $20,300.

Look at us go
Drive or Fly 5 Km in formation with a Crew member, in the same session
Firstly, follow the steps in Pack Mentality to either join or form a crew with a friend then ensure you both have a plane as it will be a lot easier than using a car given the traffic.
You can acquire a plane for free by completing the Kingdom of Lani event in the Hawaii Scenic Tour playlist then both of you need to fly in formation which you will see as a pop up on screen.
Ensure you stay in formation for 5 kilometres which isn’t that far at all where Look at us go will unlock after about 30 seconds.

That’ll Buff Right Out
Destroy 3 vehicles in Demolition Royale
Follow the steps in I’ve got a crash on you to set up a Demolition Royale then start the event. Destroying vehicles will be a lot easier if you try and hang back away from the action as much as you can then focus on taking down the weaker enemies that other people have already damaged.
If someone has 2-4 bars left, ram into them a few times where you should be able to destroy them then focus on another weaker enemy whilst doing your best to avoid your own incoming damage.
Take down 3 vehicles in Demolition Royale to unlock That’ll Buff Right Out.

Rear view mirror smile
Overtake 12 players in the Grand Race
Follow the steps in Grand Ambitions to access a Grand Race then get ready for a challenge as this one can be tricky as you’ll be up against Human competition with a few bots thrown in for good measure if its quiet.
Now the 12 players you need to overtake don’t need to be 12 different players, you can, if you’re skilled enough overtake the same player(s) by falling behind and overtaking them repeatedly until you have overtaken 12 players total during the entire Grand Event.
10 G
Steal the show
Submit 1 vehicle to the Custom show
You can submit a vehicle to the Car Show by going to the car meet (where you load in once you boot the game up), walk forward towards the ramp leading to the higher floor of cars.
Instead of going up the ramp look over to your right to see a yellow hexagon which says Register Your Car, interact with the hexagon and choose a car that you own or purchase one if you don’t have one in your inventory then choose to register that car to unlock Steal the show.
10 G
Everyone is a critic
Vote for 5 cars in the Custom show
You can vote for cars in the Custom Show by being in the Car Meet section found in the South East corner of Hawaii in the Motorfest Grounds area at the main hub for the game where you start out from when you boot the game up.
When you’re inside the Car Meet section you can walk up to any of the cars on the back left, right or top of the area and vote for cars you like the look of. Simply vote for any 5 cars to unlock Everyone is a critic.

Not so lonely at the top
Complete all activities of a Summit Contest
Summit Contests are made up of a series of events that are active for 1 real time calendar week and are accessed by going: Player Menu> Activities> Live Competition> Summit Contest.
You will have 6 events to complete, none of which you have to win, however, you will need a good few million bucks as the cars you need to buy on entry aren’t usually cheap with running from what I’ve seen between $400,000 and $900,000.
There’s no saying what the event will be in the future as these run weekly so check out the events you have available now you know where to look and see if any event requires the same car which will save you a fair amount of money.
Complete all events which, at the time of writing this guide there were 6 available to unlock Not so lonely at the top.
50 G
Leagues Above
Complete 5 events in Main Stage Mode

You will need to stay alive long enough to do this 3 times in a Demolition Royale match to unlock Doghouse Days.
10 G
Dai-go-go-go!
Win by completing the event without hitting a wall, or track limits, driving in Ebisu Style
Ebisu Style is an event found in the Made In Japan playlist and can be made as easy or as difficult as you want it be by changing the difficulty which then require you to score anywhere between 5,000 and 150,000 depending how good you think you are at drifting.
The important bit here is ensuring you don’t hit either the walls or go too far against the left side of the track. You can, hit the required score then carefully drive around the circuit if that’s what you want to do.
Just ensure you stay away from the walls and keep to the right side of the track for the most part to unlock Dai-go-go-go!

Smooth sea ≠ skilled sailor
Complete a Speedtrap instance with a boat
You will receive a free boat for completing the Explorers of Moana event in the Hawaii Scenic Tour playlist. You will also need a plane, one of which you can acquire for free by winning the Kingdom of Lani event in the Hawaii Scenic Tour playlist which might sound strange but it will make sense as you keep reading.
Once you have a plane and a boat you can then get yourself over to the Mauna Pele region where you will find a speedtrap (if it isn’t there, keep doing the playlists until it becomes available) call Wild Feats Mauna Pele Red Hill which has the lowest speed requirement of all speed traps in the game.
You need to fly low to the ground, activate your Nos then when you’re roughly 3 seconds out, click the right stick and transform into a boat with the transformation needing to be complete as you go through the speed trap.
This may take several attempts to be successful, so keep going and you’ll achieve it soon enough unlocking Smooth sea ≠ skilled sailor in the process.

Sweet tooth
Fly through the “Rule the Streets” inflatable donut with a plane
You will receive a plane by completing the Kingdom of Lani event in the Hawaii Scenic Tour playlist or you can go and purchase one, either way, get yourself in a plane then fly towards the Donut Medias’ inflatable donut as per the image:
Line yourself up so that you go through the donut taking care not to crash into the donut itself. Aim for the centre using your brakes if you’re struggling and fly through the middle of the donut which will then unlock Sweet Tooth.

Shaken, not stirred
Equip your avatar with the casual tuxedo and drive an Aston martin car
There are certainly cheaper things you can do in The Crew Motorfest than this as the suit will cost you $21,000 and the cheapest Aston Martin you can buy is the Aston Martin V8 Vantage S for $315,700 so you need a minimum of $336,700 just to purchase the items at minimum cost, if you want a better Aston Martin then you’re looking upwards of 400k for a Vulcan or $373,800 for a Vanquish.
The choice of car you drive is your choice just as long as it’s an Aston Martin. The suit however is specific and can be found by going: Player Menu> Profile> Driver> Avatar Customization> Clothes> Suits> Casual Tuxedo.
Purchase and equip the suit then get in an Aston Martin and drive it a few feet where you will then unlock Shaken, not stirred. This won’t work by test driving the car, you do need to own the Aston Martin.

Kāne Limits
Try to leave Hawaii (boat or plane) by reaching the limit of the map
Jump in any boat or pilot a plane and then just fly or sail to the edge of the map until you’re unable to go any further.
You will receive a free boat once you have completed the Explorers of Moana event in the Hawaii Scenic Tour playlist and a plane will be gifted to you once you have completed the Kingdom of Lani event in the same playlist.
Use either vehicle or one you have purchased and head towards any edge of the map either through or above the water to the very edge of the map.

…we don’t need roads
Reach 88 MPH (142 Km/h) with the Delorean DMC-12 and use the rewind feature
I recommend leaving this one for much later in the game as the Delorean DMC-12 is a bit of a rubbish car in the grand scheme of things and is only here as a nice Back to the Future reference.
The reason I say leave it for later on is the Delorean DMC-12 will cost you $387,800 so it’s not a cheap one to unlock. Once you have the money spare go: Player Menu> Shop> Vehicle Catalogue> Delorean> Delorean DMC-12. There is a Rad edition, however it’s more than double the price and I don’t know if it will meet the requirements so get the cheaper one to be on the safe side.
With the car purchased, you then need to reach a speed of at least 88 mph or 142 km/h which you can exceed if you feel like it then rewind for a few seconds by holding (PlayStation) Triangle or (Xbox) Y where you will then unlock we don’t need roads.

Oahu Mindfulness
Stay in a Car meet car for 10 seconds or more
Open your map and either fast travel to or drive to the Car Meet which is where you begin the game, walk up to any car and zoom in by holding (PlayStation) L2 or (Xbox) LT.
Look at one of the doors and choose the Open option then look at the seat and choose the Seat option where you will climb inside the car. Stay inside until you unlock Oahu Mindfulness.

Mistakes were made…
Use up the rewind feature fully 1 time
As you progress through the various events The Crew Motorfest has to offer you will inevitably make errors on track, especially on the trickier sections of a course / circuit.
That’s where the Rewind feature comes into play which will rewind up to 15 seconds of racing allowing you to brake earlier, perfect your racing line into a corner, avoid an opponent that just smashed into you etc.
In order to use the Rewind feature you need to press and hold: (PlayStation) Triangle / (Xbox) Y which will then rewind a portion of the event. In order to unlock Mistakes were made… You need to press and hold the button down until the meter is fully depleted.
This does need to be a full bar of Rewind so progress through a race for a good 30 seconds then activate Rewind where you will be able to fully deplete the bar.

Unholy Pizza
Perform a donut move around the pineapple shop
The Pineapple shop can be found in the Central region Just East of the Bike Lovers event, see the image below for the location:
Head to the Pineapple shop then get close to the pineapple itself and perform a donut by holding both accelerate and brake at the same time as well as steering either left or right.
You will then spin the car around performing a donut, if Unholy Pizza doesn’t unlock then simply get closer to the pineapple and try again until you’re successful.

Where’s down?
Chain two bike backflips while in the air and use fast fav with a plane, before reaching the ground.
This can be a tricky one to get as after trying several different places including the volcano, the only place this seems to be doable is the Stairway to Heaven location in the North West section of the South region on the peak of the mountain range.
Get yourself a bike which all seem to have similar stats so I just went for the cheapest by going: Player Menu> Shop> Vehicle Catalogue> Filters> Vehicle Category> Motocross> KTM> KTM 450 EXC 2015 which costs $98,700.
You will also need a plane for this one which you can acquire for free by winning the Kingdom of Lani event in the Hawaii Scenic Tour playlist or you ca just purchase a plane if you have the money.
With a bike and plane obtained, head over to the Stairway to Heaven location as per the image:
Once there, you will see a small building, head to the South West corner of the building where you will have a ramp to your left and a green new age tattoo style drawing of a green dude on the side of the structure.
Drive off the edge straight then once you get down to the ledge jump off as straight as you can and hold down on the left stick to perform a backflip. Keep holding the left stick down then after the first backflip, press the right stick to open your FAV and hit the plane option the second you see the backflip message appear on screen a second time.
You will then, if you got enough speed up on the bike transform into a plane, now for me it took a few seconds for the achievement to unlock so I just held on to the accelerator and gave it some nitro where Where’s down? then unlocked.
