Pole Position: Powered by GP Explorer - October 1st

Pole Position: Powered by GP Explorer Arrives in The Crew Motorfest!

From October 1-7, you will be able to play in The Crew Motorfest a special Summit Contest: Pole Position: Powered by GP Explorer.

GP Explorer is a real-life event created by the French content creator Squeezie bringing together Content Creators in a Formula 4 race on the legendary Le Mans Bugatti circuit.

This year, The Crew Motorfest is a title partner of the event with 2 incredible talents composing the official The Crew Motorfest team: Michael Reeves and Ludwig.

To celebrate this IRL event with all of you in the game, we are adding this special in-game Summit.

What is a Summit Contest?

The Summit Contest is Motorfest's weekly PVE competition. Each week, players face a curated playlist of nine activities drawn from across the game's many playgrounds and disciplines.

Every Summit is built around a unique theme, often featuring special gameplay modifiers or vehicle restrictions. To climb the global leaderboard, you'll need the right mix of driving skill, smart vehicle choices, and tuning.

At the end of the week, rewards are handed out according to your final position, from vanity items and currency to exclusive vehicles that can't be unlocked anywhere else.

I don't have the game, can I still play?

Yes! If you don't already own The Crew Motorfest, you can try it using the Free Trial, and play up to 5 hours of the full game for free, including the Pole Position - Powered by GP Explorer events.

Everything you unlock while playing in the Trial will be saved if you decide to get the game later.

This Week's Theme: Pole Position, Powered by GP Explorer

For one week only, Motorfest is celebrating GP Explorer: The Last Race, the third and final edition of Squeezie's groundbreaking motorsport-meets-entertainment event at Le Mans.

To mark the occasion, every player will have access to a special vehicle inspired by the event: :

Ivory-Tower AGP R-07 GP Explorer Edition

• This vehicle is loaned to every player for use during the Summit, so everyone can test it;
• It's a special livery inspired by the Formula 4 car that Ludwig and Michael Reeves will be driving at Le Mans on October 4-5.

• By playing the game: you need to complete and win three events in the Summit Contest. Once unlocked, the car will be available to use freely in Free Roam and beyond.
• Twitch drops: Alongside the Pole Position - Powered by GP Explorer event, you can also get the car by watching the special livestream of the Ubisoft Twitch channel on October 2nd between 9:50AM PT/18:50 CEST to 11:30AM PT/20:30 CEST or during the event on Squeezie's Twitch channel on October 4 & 5.

Special Rules, Real Motorsport Feel

This week's Summit is designed to simulate a real single-seater racing experience, featuring:

• Cockpit view mandatory: Experience the race from the driver's seat.
• No GPS and no Nitro: Pure skill is required.
• Grip gauge mechanic: A gauge at the top of the screen decreases as you drive, reducing your car's grip and slowing you down.
• Pit stops required: Visit the pit lane to restore grip, just like in real motorsport.

These mechanics emphasize precision, strategy, and vehicle management making every corner, brake, and pit stop matter.

Event Dates

• Start: October 1, 2025
• End: October 7, 2025
