The Crew Motorfest’s Season 4, including Donk vs Lowrider playlist, live

Donk vs Lowrider is the next new playlist, available today (3rd July), for The Crew Motorfest, and it is all about heavily modified American boxes.

A playlist is a selection of events and side-quests that make up the core single-player Motorfest experience, and so far, at least one fresh compilation arrives with each new season of the game.

This time, a donk (a heavily customised 1971-76 Chevrolet Caprice or Impala) and lowriders are the main themes, with specific challenges and cut scenes to fit the vibe.

Foru reward cars are part of the playlist:

• Buick GNX El Sereno Lowrider Edition
• Buick GNX West Side Lowrider Edition 1987
• Hoonigan Chevrolet Caprice Donk 1971
• Chevrolet Caprice Weasel D. Customs Donk Edition

The aim is to pick a side, and then work your way up to a fully customised ride.

A fresh ‘car dance’ game mechanic is also present, a rhythm-based feature where you must bounce a car skyward on its hydraulics. When stationary, a press of a button engages the mode, then the left analogue stick makes it ‘dance’. A “Street Versus” mode is a derivation of drag racing.

A second playlist, Off-Roading Addict Vol. 2, arrived on 14th August.

Further new vehicles

Across the three-month duration of Season 4, 21 new cars and eight returning cars from The Crew 2 will be added.

It kicks off with the 2021 Audi RS6 Avant from The Crew 2 today, 3rd July, and the new 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse at the end of the month, 31st July.

Those who watch a Twitch stream with drops enabled can pick up a heavily customised BMW M8 plus matching in-game apparel.

Most of the all-new cars are under wraps, but the following are confirmed:

• Chevrolet Caprice 1971 – New, available in-game shop or Year 1 Pass, 3rd July
• Buick GNX 1987 – New, available in-game shop or Year 1 Pass, 3rd July

• Maserati Levante Trofeo (2021) – The Crew 2 import or in-game shop, 4th July
• Maserati Ghibli (1969) – The Crew 2 import or in-game shop, 4th July

Quality of life changes

Phew, that’s a lot of new and returning content arriving today and in August. But, the latest patch doesn’t just add that, it tweaks a few elements and addresses some bugs.

Namely, a claimed enhanced performance from your AI rivals, new dashboard items, more cars can have a choice of wheel rim sizes and adjusted menus.

The full list is below, and don’t forget, you can play Motorfest for free on PC and PlayStation this week, and on Xbox next.
