NASCAR x The Crew Motorfest is such a major crossover
Year 3 Season 9 consists of three major pillars:
- An official NASCAR collaboration
- The debut of Trackforge, the game’s largest UGC feature to date
- A new RC Frenzy experience launching May 6
NASCAR Motorfest Tour playlist: Race to the Championship
Beginning March 4, players can jump into the NASCAR Motorfest Tour Playlist — a structured competition built around ten curated events.
The format moves from qualifications through finals, with players competing to become the NASCAR Motorfest Tour Champion. Special gameplay features enhance the racing experience, bringing authentic NASCAR energy to the tracks.
Beyond the playlist narrative arc, players can celebrate the arrival of 16 authentic NASCAR vehicles, all fully drivable across Motorfest’s open world anytime, anywhere.
RC Frenzy Playlist arrives May 6, 2026
On May 6, Season 9 expands again with the RC Frenzy Playlist — a premium addition focused on miniature mayhem.
Players will take control of RC cars during dedicated events, navigating tight gaps, uncovering hidden areas, and rediscovering the Hawaiian archipelago from a drastically smaller perspective.
The RC vehicles will also be usable in the open world, stretching Motorfest’s sandbox freedom even further.
A total of 31 new vehicles are rolling out across Season 9
31 new vehicles will be added throughout Season 9.

Trackforge: The biggest UGC feature yet
Season 9 also introduces Trackforge, the most in-depth user-generated content tool ever added to the game.
With Trackforge, players can build custom circuits using two templates:
- Motorsports Template: Focused on precision handling and competitive layouts
- Coaster Template: Built for gravity-defying loops, wild elevation changes, and spectacle
Players can design tracks tailored to their preferred racing style — whether that means technical cornering, pure speed, or creative chaos.
Once completed, tracks can be published and shared, allowing the community to race together across Moloka‘i and Lana‘i in entirely new ways.
Beyond NASCAR and RC content, Season 9 introduces several gameplay additions:
- A new Island Playground featuring tracks of various shapes and layouts
- Expanded Summit Contest events blending skill and style competition
- Weekly themed activities in the Main Stage
About The Crew Motorfest
Developed by Ubisoft Ivory Tower in Lyon, France, The Crew Motorfest invites players to explore O‘ahu and Maui — two major islands of the Hawaiian archipelago — in a vibrant, open-world festival celebrating car culture.
Players can drive hundreds of legendary vehicles solo or with friends, exploring environments that range from city streets to volcano slopes, rainforests, and beaches. The game emphasizes freedom, allowing drivers to stick to roads or carve their own path through the landscape.
