The Crew 2 Season 9 Episode 1: American Legends Adds Race Creator, New Cars and More

If you were thinking that Ubisoft will stop supporting The Crew 2 when The Crew Motorfest arrives on consoles and PC this September, think again. Ubisoft will continue to support the popular open-world racer into 2024 starting with The Crew 2 Season 9. This commitment is unprecedented considering The Crew 2 launched over five years ago.

Out now, The Crew 2 Season 9 Episode 1: American Legends brings new stories, cars, and events. But the most surprising addition is the new Race Creator.

Race Creator comes to The Crew 2

Included in The Crew 2 Season 9 Episode 1 update, the Race Creator allows you to create your own races and share them with the community.

Once you've placed the start and finish line, you can apply rules such as the race category, car model or brand requirements, and traffic. Weather and time of day can also be changed and you can find and vote for races in a dedicated menu.

Itā€™s easy to use too as the Race Creator tool can be opened any time while free roaming, with you placing the starting line and checkpoints while driving around the open world. After creating a race, you can name it with pre-defined words and customise the event ticket with preset screenshots.

New cars

A new season of course means new cars. The Crew 2 Season 9 Episode 1 adds the 1975 Lancia Stratos HF Stradale and its rally racing counterpart, the Lancia Stratos HF GR4. Both can be bought in bucks or Cre Credits from 5 July.

The 2022 Audi RS 3 Sportback and 2022 Audi RS7 Sportback also join The Crew 2, included in the Audi Shop Premium Bundle.

Also returning in The Crew 2 Season 9 Episode is a selection of old fan-favourites from previous Motorpasses.
