The Crew 2 – Season 8 Episode 1 release brings more content
The highlights for Episode 1 of Season 8 forĀ The Crew 2 include new touring cars, 16 new touring car events, new vanity items, and a new Motorpass.
The US Speed Tour, which was first introduced back in Season 3, has players shifting into high gear and letting the RPMs roar as they belt through the country’s largest cities at top speed. Competitors should prepare to gauge their speed and mind their cornering skills as they meander through “twisty urban tracks” and make up for lost time by taking advantage of straighter sections. The team has also outfitted each event race this season with an Endurance Race that will “test your fortitude as you conquer these long trials.”
