The Crew Motorfest Trophy Guide

Unlock Details

Reach 88 mph, or 142 km/h, in the DeLorean DMC-12 and then use the rewind feature. Use the regular silver DeLorean DMC-12 for this trophy, since the source does not confirm whether the other DeLorean variants count. You will need to own the car because rewind is not available during a Test Drive. Open the menu, go to Shop, then Vehicle Catalogue, find the DeLorean, and purchase the regular DMC-12. Once you have it, enter free roam and accelerate to at least 88 mph, or 142 km/h. Then press Triangle to activate rewind. The trophy should unlock immediately.

Warning

Do not rely on Test Drive for this one because rewind does not work there. Eighty-eight miles per hour, hit rewind, trophy pops. Great Scott, they actually went there.

Unlock Details

Complete 20 Photo Ops. Photo Ops are side activities tied to Playlists. They usually ask you to photograph a specific vehicle in a specific location, and some also require a certain time of day. After starting a Playlist, its Photo Ops become available. To find them: Open the menu. Go to Activities. Choose a Playlist. Open the Side Activities tab. Select a Photo Op to pin its requirements. Make sure you are using the correct vehicle, then travel to the required location. Once you are in position, open Photo Mode. If both the vehicle and location requirements are correct, they should turn green. If the Photo Op requires a certain time of day, open the Photo Mode settings and change the environment time until that requirement is also satisfied. When every requirement is green, take the photo to complete the Photo Op. Repeat this for 20 different Photo Ops.

Tip

After completing 6 Playlists, you should already have more than enough Photo Ops available. You can also start additional Playlists just to unlock their Photo Ops without needing to finish them. The nice part about this trophy is that the game is basically rewarding you for stopping mid-race to become an automotive Instagram photographer.

Unlock Details

Use fast travel for the first time. As soon as you start a Playlist, you can fast travel to its container. Open the map with the Touch Pad, highlight the Playlist container, then press Triangle to fast travel there. The trophy will unlock the first time you use the feature. After completing 10 Playlists, you will also unlock fast travel to individual events and Feats.

Tip

You can earn this very early, so there is no reason to save it for later. One button press and suddenly driving across Hawaii becomes optional. Progress.

Unlock Details

Fully customize one vehicle using both visual parts and a livery. Open the menu, go to Vehicles, and select a car. Choose Customize, then Visual Part, and install different visual parts on the vehicle. Back out and select Livery. Scroll to the Exclusive section and equip one of the developer-made liveries. Exit the customization menu and the trophy should unlock.

Tip

Use a car with plenty of visual customization options. Some vehicles do not support as many parts, which can make this trophy more awkward than it needs to be.

Warning

The exact number of visual parts required is not completely clear from the source. If the trophy does not unlock after changing one part and applying a livery, change one part in every available visual category and try again. Nothing says “fully customized” quite like spending twenty minutes choosing a bumper and then covering the whole thing with somebody else’s paint job.

Unlock Details

Win the Ebisu Style event without hitting a wall or leaving the track limits. Ebisu Style is part of the Made in Japan Playlist, so complete that Playlist first to unlock the event for replay. This is a drift event where you need to beat a target score. The easiest method is to lower the AI difficulty to 1/5, which makes the score requirement much lower. Build enough points to beat the target, then focus completely on staying clean. Keep the car near the middle of the track and avoid the walls and track limits. You can even earn the required score early, then stop the car and let the timer run out rather than risking the run with unnecessary drifting.

Tip

On the lowest difficulty, around 5,000 points can be enough, so once you have the score, stop taking risks. This trophy is basically asking you to drift responsibly, which feels like a contradiction.

Unlock Details

Fly under 5 different bridges during the same session. You need a plane for this trophy. If you did not import one from The Crew 2, the Hawaii Scenic Tour Playlist is a good option because it gives you one for free. Once you have a plane, head to the Kuapa River east of the Motorfest Grounds and north of Hanauma Racetrack. Fly along the river and pass underneath 5 different bridges in the same session. There are more than enough bridges along this stretch, so you should be able to finish the trophy quickly.

Tip

Stay low and line yourself up early so you do not have to make awkward last-second corrections. Five bridges later, your pilot's license may be questionable, but the trophy will be yours.

Unlock Details

Fly as high as possible in a plane. You need to own a plane first. If you did not import one from The Crew 2, Hawaii Scenic Tour is a good option because it rewards you with one for free. Switch to your plane in free roam and simply keep climbing until you reach the maximum altitude. If the plane feels difficult to control, open the difficulty settings and turn off the airplane handling assist so you have full control.

Tip

Keep the plane pointed steadily upward and give yourself some open space so you are not fighting terrain or buildings while climbing. This trophy is basically Motorfest asking, “What if we just kept going up?”

Unlock Details

Vote for 5 cars in the Custom Show during the same session. Enter the Custom Show through the Activities menu or by traveling to the Car Meet at the Motorfest Grounds. Walk through the display area and approach one of the submitted cars. Press Cross to vote for it. Repeat this with 5 different cars during the same session and the trophy will unlock.

Tip

You can knock this out immediately after Steal the show since both trophies use the same Custom Show area. Five votes later, you have officially become a car-show judge with absolutely no qualifications. Perfect.

Unlock Details

Perform a donut inside the Ubisoft logo. The Ubisoft logo is located near the center of the island, slightly southwest of the Central label on the map and north of the Offroading Addict Playlist container. Travel there with a car and position yourself inside the logo. To perform a donut, come to a stop, hold R2 and L2 together, then steer fully left or right. Keep spinning until the Donut action appears and the trophy unlocks.

Tip

A car with enough power to break traction easily will make this much simpler. Yes, the game really does give you a trophy for doing donuts on Ubisoft's logo. At least they knew what people would want to do with it.

Unlock Details

Reach the edge of the map with either a boat or a plane. You need to own at least one of those vehicle types first. If you did not import either from The Crew 2, the Hawaii Scenic Tour Playlist is a good option because it rewards you with both a boat and a plane. Once you have one, head away from Oahu in any direction and keep going. Eventually you will hit the invisible edge of the map and the game will automatically respawn you. The trophy should unlock as soon as that happens.

Tip

A plane is usually the quicker option because you can travel in a straight line without worrying about terrain. Motorfest really gives you an entire island and then rewards you for immediately trying to leave it.

Unlock Details

Complete 5 events in Main Stage mode. Main Stage unlocks after completing at least 3 Playlists. Once it is available, go to any event that you have already completed and open the event setup menu. Under Event Settings, change the mode from Playlist to Main Stage. This version of the event will use a vehicle that matches the current weekly Main Stage theme. Complete the event, then repeat until you have finished 5 Main Stage events. You can use 5 different events or simply replay the same one 5 times.

Tip

Pick a short event you already know well and repeat it if you want to get this done quickly. Five themed events later, you are officially in the big leagues. Or at least Motorfest says you are.

Unlock Details

Stay completely still for 1 minute on the beach in front of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. The hotel is in southern Honolulu and is marked on the map as Royal Luau. Drive onto the beach directly south of the hotel, stop your vehicle, and do not move for a full minute. The trophy should unlock once the timer is up.

Tip

Make sure you are properly on the beach and avoid touching the controls while you wait. One whole minute of doing absolutely nothing in a racing game. Enjoy the vacation.

Unlock Details

Chain 15 different Dynamic Freestyle actions in a single combo. The easiest method uses both a car and a plane, so make sure you own a plane first. If you did not import one from The Crew 2, Hawaii Scenic Tour is a good option because it gives you one for free. Freestyle actions are things like drifting, jumping, near misses, rolls, loops, and flying close to obstacles. As long as the XP combo at the bottom of the screen stays active, you can keep adding different actions to the same chain. A good setup is to start in a car and do several easy actions: Burn Donut Nitro Speed Near Miss Jump Then use Fast Fav to switch to your plane without breaking the combo. With the plane, stack more actions such as: Low Altitude Vertical Up Nosedive Looping Roll Half-Roll Air Drift Knife Flight Under Bridge You only need 15 different actions total, so there is plenty of room for mistakes.

Tip

To Fast Fav between vehicles, press down on the Right Stick and choose the vehicle type you want. Make sure your car and plane are marked as favorites first. For full plane control, either disable the airplane handling assist in the difficulty settings or hold Square while flying. Some freestyle actions are much harder or impossible with the beginner handling active.

Warning

If no freestyle action text is appearing near your vehicle, check that the Freestyle UI has not been disabled in the settings. Fifteen different tricks in one combo sounds ridiculous until Motorfest lets you switch from doing donuts in a car to barrel-rolling a plane without breaking the chain. Then it just sounds like Hawaii.

Unlock Details

Use the rewind feature all the way to its limit once. Drive around in free roam for a little while so the game has enough recent driving to rewind. Then hold Triangle to start rewinding. Keep holding it until the rewind reaches the furthest point possible. Once you have fully exhausted the rewind, the trophy should unlock.

Tip

You can do this almost anywhere, so there is no reason to save it for later. Motorfest understands that sometimes the best racing strategy is simply pretending the last 10 seconds never happened.

Unlock Details

Complete 31 different Motorfest Feats. Feats are free-roam activities such as speed traps and slaloms. They appear on the map as red triangle icons. After starting a Playlist, its associated Feats become available. You do not need to complete the Playlist first. The easiest way to track them is to look for red triangle icons without a green checkmark. You can also find them through: Options Activities Choose a Playlist Side Activities Select a Feat to set a waypoint After completing 6 Playlists, you should already have enough Feats available to reach 31. If not, simply start another Playlist to unlock more.

Tip

Do this after working through your 6 required Playlists so you have a big pool of Feats to choose from. Thirty-one Feats later, you will have proven that yes, you can drive fast in a straight line, weave through cones, and generally terrorize every road on the island.

Unlock Details

Sit inside a Car Meet vehicle for at least 10 seconds. The Car Meet is the same area used for the Custom Show. Open the menu, go to Activities, and select Custom Show from the Live Competition row. You can also open the map, highlight the Car Meet at the Motorfest Grounds, and enter it from there. Once inside, walk up to one of the cars on display. Hold L2 to enter first-person view, aim at the driver-side door, and press Cross when the option appears to open it. Then aim at the seat and choose the option to sit inside the car. Stay seated for at least 10 seconds and the trophy should unlock.

Tip

You can combine this with Steal the show and Everyone is a critic since all three use the same Car Meet area. Ten peaceful seconds sitting in someone else’s car. No racing, no crashing, no leaderboard. Just vibes.

Unlock Details

Take 3 photos during the same session. While driving around Hawaii, press Left on the D-pad to open Photo Mode. Press Cross to take a picture, then repeat until you have taken 3 photos during the same session. The photos do not need to meet any special requirements, so snap whatever you want.

Tip

You can easily combine this with exploring or Photo Ops, although these 3 pictures do not need to be official Photo Op objectives. Three photos later, you have officially become the person who stops every five minutes on vacation because “the lighting is perfect.”

Unlock Details

Travel 40 kilometers, or 25 miles, anywhere in Hawaii during the same session. Driving, riding, and flying all count toward the distance. This is a very short requirement compared with everything else you will be doing, so it should unlock naturally during your first hour or so of playing. No special route or vehicle is required. Forty kilometers in an open-world racing game. Basically the trophy equivalent of leaving the parking lot.

Unlock Details

Spend at least 1,000,000 Bucks in a single purchase. Money is mainly spent on vehicles, so this will usually be easiest once you have already made good progress through the Playlists, Challenges, Feats, Photo Ops, and other single-player content. Open the menu, go to Shop, then Vehicle Catalogue. From there, sort by price and look for any vehicle costing at least 1,000,000 Bucks. Buy it in one transaction and the trophy will unlock.

Tip

Do this later rather than early. You may already need an expensive vehicle for another trophy or activity, so you can make the million-Buck purchase actually useful instead of blowing your savings just for the trophy. One million Bucks gone in a single click. Welcome to the true endgame: financial damage.

Unlock Details

Reach the summit of the Mauna Pele volcano while using a ground vehicle. The volcano is on the west side of the island and is marked on the map as Mauna Pele Nunui Crater. You have two easy options: Drive up from the northeast side using an off-road vehicle. Or fly to the crater with a plane, then switch to a ground vehicle once you are there. The trophy should unlock once you are inside the crater in a ground vehicle.

Tip

Flying there first is the quickest method if you already own a plane. Nothing says sensible driving like parking a car inside a volcano.

Unlock Details

Wear the Casual Tuxedo and drive an Aston Martin. First, equip the Casual Tuxedo. Open the menu, go to Driver, then Avatar Customization. Move to the Clothes tab, scroll down to the Suit category, and purchase and equip the Casual Tuxedo. Next, you need to drive an Aston Martin. If you already own one, simply select it from your vehicle collection and drive it. If not, open the Shop, go to Vehicle Catalogue, and find the Aston Martin section. The source suggests trying the Test Drive option first, since it may allow the trophy to unlock without purchasing the car. Select an Aston Martin and start a test drive. If that does not work, purchase an Aston Martin and drive it while wearing the tuxedo.

Tip

Try the Test Drive method before spending money on the car.

Warning

The source does not confirm whether Test Drive definitely counts, so be prepared to buy an Aston Martin if the trophy does not unlock. Tuxedo. Aston Martin. Hawaii. At this point, all you are missing is somebody asking how you want your drink.

Unlock Details

Complete a Speedtrap Feat with a boat. You need three things for this trophy: A Speedtrap Feat. A boat. A fast car. If you do not already own a boat, Hawaii Scenic Tour gives you one for free. For the car, something from the Hypercar, Dragster, or Alpha GP categories works well. Electric Odyssey can also reward you with a Hypercar. The trick is to approach a Speedtrap at high speed in your car, then switch to your boat with Fast Fav just before crossing the Speedtrap. To Fast Fav to your boat, press the Right Stick and choose the boat category. Your boat will carry the car's momentum forward and slide through the Speedtrap. For the trophy to count, you must actually beat the Speedtrap's target speed. Simply passing through it is not enough.

Tip

Choose a Speedtrap with a good long straight so you have plenty of room to build speed before switching. Upgrading your car with better performance parts can also make this easier. If your boat is not available through Fast Fav, open the Vehicles menu and mark it as a favorite first.

Warning

This can take several attempts. The timing of the vehicle switch is the hardest part, so do not worry if your first few tries end with a boat doing something boats were never designed to do. A speedboat launched across dry land at highway speeds. For some reason, this is not even the weirdest thing Motorfest asks you to do.

Unlock Details

Submit one vehicle to the Custom Show. Open the menu, go to Activities, then select Custom Show from the Live Competition row. You can also open the map, highlight the Car Meet at the Motorfest Grounds, and enter it from there. Once inside, walk over to the Custom Show area where the submitted cars are displayed. Look for the registration spot marked with a yellow border. To submit a vehicle, it must match the current weekly theme and have at least one visual customization applied. Follow the registration prompts and submit the vehicle to unlock the trophy.

Tip

If your car is not eligible, check the current weekly theme and switch to a vehicle that qualifies before trying again. One custom car submitted. Whether the crowd loves it or absolutely roasts your taste is thankfully not part of the trophy requirement.

Unlock Details

Fly through the inflatable donut from the Rule the Streets Playlist using a plane. You need to own a plane first. If you did not import one from The Crew 2, Hawaii Scenic Tour is a good option because it rewards you with one for free. The inflatable donut is located in eastern Honolulu, above the Rule the Streets Playlist container. Fly to the area in free roam, line up with the center of the donut, and pass through it with your plane to unlock the trophy.

Tip

Approach slowly enough that you can line yourself up properly. There is no bonus trophy for clipping the edge and turning your plane into modern art. One giant donut, one plane, zero questions asked.

Unlock Details

Win 5 Custom Events in the same session. First, complete at least one Playlist so its events can be replayed in Custom mode. Go to the starting point of an event from a completed Playlist and open the event setup menu. Under Event Settings, change the mode from Playlist to Custom. Custom mode lets you choose your own vehicle, which makes this much easier. You can also lower the AI difficulty to 1/5 if you just want to get the trophy done without turning it into a championship weekend. Win the event, then repeat until you have 5 Custom Event wins in the same session. You can use 5 different events or simply replay the same one 5 times.

Tip

Pick a short event that you know well and lower the AI difficulty. Repeating one easy race is much faster than searching for five perfect events.

Warning

All 5 wins need to be earned in the same session. Five wins in a row with the difficulty turned down and your favorite car selected. Sometimes trophy hunting is allowed to be nice.

Unlock Details

Perform a donut near the pineapple shop. The pineapple shop is just north of Wahiawa, near the container for the Bike Lovers Playlist. Despite the trophy description, you do not need to drive a full circle around the building. Simply park a car in front of the shop and perform a donut nearby. To do a donut, come to a stop, hold R2 and L2 together, then steer fully left or right. Keep spinning until the Donut action appears and the trophy unlocks.

Tip

If it does not pop immediately, move a little closer to the shop and try again. Apparently pineapple on pizza was not controversial enough, so Motorfest added tire smoke too.

Unlock Details

Perform two backflips on a Motocross bike, then switch to a plane with Fast Fav before touching the ground. You need both a plane and a Motocross bike. If you do not already own a plane, Hawaii Scenic Tour gives you one for free. For the bike, make sure it is specifically from the Motocross category because other bikes do not flip quickly enough. Good locations include: The roof of the Waikiki Wing Hotel in southern Honolulu. The lookout platform between Peacock Flats and Ka'ala, using the nearby ramp. Hit the jump at speed with your Motocross bike. While airborne, hold down on the Left Stick to perform backflips. You can also hold Square to use Extreme Mode and rotate faster. Once you have completed two full backflips, immediately press the Right Stick and then Triangle to switch to your favorite plane with Fast Fav. The switch must happen before you touch the ground.

Tip

Mark your plane as a favorite before attempting this so the Fast Fav switch is ready to go. Use a jump with as much airtime as possible. The extra second or two makes a huge difference when you are trying to finish both flips and switch vehicles.

Warning

You must complete both backflips and switch to the plane before landing. Two backflips on a dirt bike followed by transforming into a plane midair. Motorfest has officially stopped pretending physics is involved.
