6 Things YOU MUST DO To WIN A GRAND RACE in The Crew Motorfest

Tip #7 USED THEM BRAKES. The amount of times I dodge people trying to ram me into tight corners is amazing/funny

Small tip, you get a full tank of nos when you switch to a new car, so always make sure you completely empty the tank before the switch!

The biggest problem in Grand Race is for sure rammers (either intentionally or people who just have bad settings/tunes). There's not much you can do about intentional rammers (as you said, patience is key, they'll mess up), but you can for sure deal with your settings. My advice : use ABS / ESP off / TCS+ (comfort) / Drift assist : sport or comfort. And also tune your cars. In Grand Race the field is balanced out, which means everyone is using maxed out vehicles with green parts (for instance Street Tier 1 green 600 parts). So you don't use your affixes from blue-purple-gold parts, BUT you still use your tuning (Pro Settings) on the car, make sure they are the way you like them. Here, my advice would be keep a green set of parts and test/tune the car with those parts for Grand Race. For Summit (Nitro Chemist set and Score Breaker set) and Main Stage (XP Magnet Set) you need gold parts, for Grand Race they don't count. And in some cases, the cars drive a bit different with Green parts or Gold parts, keep that in mind, which might mean you need to tweak your tuning a little for Grand Race compared to Summit set ups.

Shortcuts are what keep me from winning. I got 3rd last night and have a ton of top 5 finishes. I never played the crew 2 and I’m old at 45 so I’m happy with where I am. Practice is the key to all of it as when I first played I was all over the place.

A quick video suggestion here: If you could go in-depth of the pro settings and what to look for when you want to fine-tune your vehicle to drive how you want it to drive/handle. I feel like ive already maximized my personal driving skill but now id like that extra edge for my vehicles to do well in the races. Also how to do precise testing with each setting change to notice any difference. I struggle seeing the differences and sometimes my driving skill overshadows any of those changes.

My biggest issue seems to be luck, there's always a solid tree or rock i hit by coincidence during a jump, or whenever someone spins out its right in front of me and i can't avoid crashing into them and getting stuck, or being the only one in a group getting tapped into the dirt, or the car ahead of me when the race starts doesn't move. Its just real frustrating when it seemingly always happens to me an not to anyone else in the race, and you can't even avoid these things. Game just hates me ig lmao

Suggestions on what you can talk about in future videos: -How to properly handle Rally Raid and Rally Cars themselves especially Rally Cars since they have an annoying tendency to change directions at a moments notice sometimes -How to take sharp turns in rally raid/rally cars -How to deal with understeer/oversteer -How to take grass shortcuts with cars that are allergic to grass and will spin out easily if you so much as breath in the wrong direction.....

After 350+ Hours of playing the Motorfest,I figured out that it would be a miracle for me to win at least 1 Grand Race. I made so many tries,and my main problem is "the slipstreamers".I always get to 2nd,3rd place (very rarely) and just can't win. This video inspires me to keep trying,but do not hope enough for a win.

By far the most annoying thing is getting punished by other people's terrible driving aka getting stuck behind them when they crash/spin out. Fast reaction times are def needed but also a good thing to literally expect people to crash and think of how to avoid them.

Staying on the road seems to be my biggest issue I can’t seem to keep the car on the asphalt and the second I touch dirt I spin out lose control and get past by 3-5 people

I used your builds & came 3rd twice & 2nd for the first time ever!! Thanks!!😁

The rammers are definitely the biggest issue. I’ve used some of your pro setting tunes so my car doesn’t wobble so much, but I’m still amazed at how I can be at top speeds, not hitting anything while staying on the road, yet these people seem to come out of nowhere and catch up with me. I’m using the top cars with good settings too!! The highest I’ve gotten ina grand race is 4th but that’s only when it’s monster/rally/rally raid. I can’t get past 11 for any of the other ones. But when I first started I was fighting for 19th-23rd place, so I’d say I’ve made some progress lol!

My advice just keep perfecting your craft/skill, tune your cars, learn the RACE TRACK and be patient when needed and be stay calm. I came from the crew 2 had over 100 hours on that game and mangaed to reach icon lvl 2000+ so coming to this game wasnt much of a big adjustment for me, me doing the grand races on day 1 and just learning and fine tuning, i started to climb the leader board with every race (if rammers and misfortune doesnt make me rage quit that race and start another one lol) but went from middle pack to top 10 to 3rd, 2nd and lastly to 1st, took me a while to break through to first but when i did it felt soooo good! After that i come first i would honestly say 30% of my races and thats not bad at all, im not the best nor the worst, but yall keep grinding, the game is sooo fun and it feels great to win good luck yall

Proximity chat would be hilarious in the grand race lol

Very good video. But Dear Rammers: Edit your Pro Settings. You're most likely like me and have trouble adjusting to every discipline after each transition, leaving you spinning out and overshooting corners. Apply more grip and more oversteer so you're not constantly slamming into yellow walls no matter how hard you push on your joystick. I did, and now I constantly secure Top 8's if not Top 4's, and I don't even need the recommended fastest vehicles. I can choose my dream cars and still secure podium position, let alone turn any vehicle into a total Drift machine to eat annoying corners. If you're still having honest skill issues, You can also make sure you set your difficulty level to INTERMEDIATE. The game sometimes raises it for you if you win too many playlist races. BEGINNER will make you too slow, and EXPERT is just unfair to you at your current skill level (a Rammer). You're already fighting 27 other opponents, no need to also be fighting your own car. Signed, a former rammer (P.S. Toyota Tacoma FTW. Criminally underrated vehicle, no Pro Settings needed)

I keep getting 3rd 3rd 3rd😭😭 but it’s mad fun so ion be tripping that much… Especially coming from 23rd in the beginning‼️

A detailed video of pro settings and also, what is the best race to use to test cars?

3:06 that’s me in that lil Miata!

Also make sure your hold to action settings are turned to press, it makes resetting much faster

Thing that bugs me the most is when transitioning from 1 vehicle to the next. Sometimes when you spawn into next vehicle you end up in the wall or missing a checkpoint and lose a heaps of places even though it's not your fault. So annoying hopefully they fix that to make it a bit smoother when changing cars especially at highspeeds.
