* ImprobablyCoolCar: It's possible to buy or earn ''concept cars'' in the game, some of which are featured in Australian-born influencer Supercar Blondie's playlist "Dream Cars", and it's entirely possible to have a crew where all players are driving the same concept car, even those where only one model was made in real life.

There are also cars with logos of real-life non-automotive-based sponsors on them such as the Hard Rock Café.

* ShoutOut: During the Hawaii Scenic Tour air Time Attack event "Kingdom of Lani", Keola indirectly mentions ''Film/JurassicPark'' when you pass over Kahana State Park.
-->'''Keola''': There used to be dinosaurs around here! Like... 30 years ago. It was for a little Hollywood movie - but there were there, I swear!

Added in more content from The Crew 2014, with edits.


* ArtisticLicenseGeography: Like with the mainland United States in the first two games, ''Motorsport'' takes place on a heavily modified and [[SpaceCompression condensed version]] of Oʻahu. Ivory Tower has stated that they chose ''not'' to repeat the near-1:1 recreation of the island like in the ''Test Drive Unlimited'' games because doing so would leave a lot of empty unused space. Also, the otherwise inaccessible Kauaʻi and Molokai are a lot closer to Oʻahu than in real life.

Several changes were made, such as adding an island near Mokuleia, a more simplified Pearl Harbor, with the Waipiʻo and Pearl City peninsulas removed, as well as adding more roads to the map, and the otherwise inaccessible Kauaʻi and Molokai moved a lot closer to Oʻahu than in real life.

Added an example originally from The Crew 2014 page.

Added DiffLines:

* V8EngineNoises: In ''Motorfest'', any car can have an engine sound that's different from its default through audio signatures. Each audio signature is tied to a playlist, which is related to the type of vehicle used - completing challenges in the American Muscle playlist unlocks the V8 engine sound, for example - so you can have your Mini making Porsche noises or your Lambo sounding like a motorcycle.

* ZipMode: Although fast travel is in this game just like the first two entries, players need to complete ten playlists before they can freely use this feature this time around.

''The Crew Motorfest'' is a 2023 {{racing|Game}} MMO developed by Ubisoft Ivory Tower[[note]]with assistance from several other Ubisoft studios, including [[VideoGame/{{Driver}} Ubisoft Reflections]] once again[[/note]] and published by Creator/{{Ubisoft}}. The third game in the developer's ''VideoGame/{{The Crew|2014}}'' series, this entry finally sees ''The Crew'' move away from the contiguous United States after nine years, now being set on a condensed version of the UsefulNotes/{{Hawaii}}an island of Oʻahu, much like in the first two entries of an older online multiplayer-focused open world racing game series, ''VideoGame/TestDriveUnlimited'' (which various developers from Ivory Tower worked on as part of Eden Games). The game was released for UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows, Platform/PlayStation4, Platform/PlayStation5, Platform/XboxOne, and Platform/XboxSeriesXAndS on September 14, 2023.

* InvisibleWall: You cannot fly or take a boat over to either Kauaʻi or Molokai despite their relatively close proximity; you're only meant to be on Oʻahu and that's it. Likewise, you cannot go far out into the Pacific Ocean either.

* TheThemeParkVersion: Of Oʻahu, having pretty much just the best parts of the island (and some of the other Hawaiian Islands) in one condensed map. The festival theming makes it even more colorful than it already is, too.

As with the game's predecessor, ''VideoGame/TheCrew2'', there's [[NoPlotNoProblem no real plot]] and a whole lot of different vehicles to choose from, including cars, trucks, bikes, boats, and aircraft. But instead of that game's [=MotorNation=] and the Live Xtrem Series, you're now participating in the Motorfest, a celebration of motorsport held throughout the island.

* ArtisticLicenseGeography: Like with the mainland United States in the first two games, ''Motorsport'' takes place on a heavily modified and [[SpaceCompression condensed version]] of Oʻahu. Ivory Tower has stated that they chose ''not'' to repeat the near-1:1 recreation of the island like in the ''Test Drive Unlimited'' games because doing so would leave a lot of empty unused space. Also, the otherwise inaccessible Kauaʻi and Molokai are a lot closer to Oʻahu than in real life.
* BilingualBonus: The host of the Hawaii Scenic Tour, Keola Nakaʻahiki Rapozo, intersperses much of his dialogue with Hawaiian alongside English.
* CoolBike: All kinds make their return from ''The Crew: Wild Run'' and ''The Crew 2'', from motocross to sport bikes.
* CoolBoat: With these returning from ''The Crew 2'', you can now hit those choice Hawaiian waves from your favorite speedboat.
* CoolCar: Still the main bread and butter in this series, ''and'' you get to drive much of the same cars that you drove in ''The Crew 2''.
* CoolPlane: While the amount of airspace you have here is more limited, you can still fly all kinds of different aircraft here like in ''The Crew 2''.
* OldSaveBonus: Players can import their vehicle collections from ''The Crew 2'' for use in ''Motorfest'', either at the start of the game or at a later time, although the process can only be done once and it's irreversible. Take caution if you're still planning to play ''The Crew 2''!

There are also cars with logos of real-life non-automotive-based sponsors on them such as the Hard Rock Café.
* SceneryPorn: With the game map being based on the Hawaiian island of Oʻahu, you're going to see a lot of tropical beauty. The smaller game map and being designed for ninth-gen consoles means that it also looks better than ''The Crew 2''. There's even an entire playlist dedicated to exploring the island in race events called the Hawaii Scenic Tour.
* StoppedNumberingSequels: Although there was only one numbered sequel in ''The Crew'' series, this is just the third entry and Ubisoft has now switched to subtitles here.
* TheThemeParkVersion: Of Oʻahu, having pretty much just the best parts of the island (and some of the other Hawaiian Islands) in one condensed map. The festival theming makes it even more colorful than it already is, too.
* UniversalDriversLicense: All the vehicles you can drive or pilot in ''The Crew 2''? You can do so in this game, too.
* WideOpenSandbox: Although obviously not as big as the United States or the ''Test Drive Unlimited'' series' version of Oʻahu, ''The Crew Motorfest''[='=]s version of Oʻahu is still expansive and packed with things to do.
