Sup gearheads? šØ
Any Porsche fans on Hive? The Crew 2 might have something for you! š
I know this intro perhaps sounds pretty similar with the one from my previous post but that's because while the last week the Mitsubishi fans could have a lot of fun playing the game with vehicles from their favourite brand, the developers of The Crew 2 decided that this week should be dedicated to the Porsche fans which is another powerful brand that not everyone can afford driving one of those cars.
Anyway, while in the past few weeks we were talking only about the weekly Live Summits releases, this time we are going to welcome a new season that was just added to the game called American Legends but which we'll talk more about a little bit later. ā²
Though, until we get there, we have to first check out the 9 races that Porsche Addict 2 Live Summit came with that can be completed between 16 - 23th March:
- Speedtrap - being required to cross a specific area on the map with a speed faster than 210 km/h. [No Restriction Race]
- Slalom - where you have to make a dance between different objects placed on the ground while collecting no less than 5,090 points. [No Restriction Race]
- Escape - where you are needed to drive 1,120 meters away from a marked area on the map on on the streets of the city. [No Restriction Race]
- Street - a first race with a Porsche thematic being needed to drive a brand's vehicle and place yourself on one of the Top 3 positions to win the race. [Porsche 911 GT (993) required]
- Hyper - similar to the previous race but with a lot more powerful cars and with no restrictions in terms of the vehicle you can drive. You still need to reach one of the Top 3 places. [No Restriction Race]
- Drag - a less common race but where time will be your single enemy being needed to cover a portion of the race faster than 00:15.600 minutes. [No Restriction Race]
- Rally Cross - the single off-road race of this weekly event where you have to drive another Porsche car and be amongst the Top 3 players at the end of the race. [Porsche 911 GT3 RS RD Limited Edition required]
- Street - another race on the streets of the US where you need to place yourself on one of the Top 3 positions as well. [No Restriction Race]
- Touring - one more race with a Porsche car but which is part of the circuit vehicles. The surprise here is that the trail you will have to cover is from a Street race. Placing yourself on one of the Top 3 places is also needed in this case. [Porsche 911 Carrera RSR Turbo]
The first thing I thought about as soon as I've seen this week's Live Summit was that I'm not going to get too much mud on the tires this time since there is just one off-road race, but which is a fairly easy one where you can score 100,000 points from the first try if you make sure to take advantage of the shortcut from the beginning of the race.
That shortcut will get you an advance of 1-2 seconds every time you get on it (4 times in total), so if you love beating all the other players and scoring new records, this race is definitely for you. It's also a nice opportunity to have fun driving a Porsche vehicle which is a limited edition one and very easy to handle.

This car was also the first one out of two that I needed to purchase for the current event which cost around 480,000 bucks.
The 2nd car requested was for the 4th race, a Porsche 911 GT from 1993 that was only 100,000 bucks cheaper, so around $380,000.

Both the 4th race of the event and the other Street and Hyper races were fairly easy to be completed as they were held on some of my favourite trails of the game which are also those completed for various times so I almost drove with my eyes closed, lol. š
Though, a less common race is the Drag one which is based on vehicles that can reach even 700-800 km/h speed so even though you are not going to properly drive them on a trail, your skills of how fast you will shift gears and how well you control the car on a specific area on the map will still count.
On the last race of the event I was lucky that I was already owning the Porsche vehicle requested and I didn't need to purchase it, but the interesting part on this one is that you will drive a vehicle from a discipline on a trail of a different discipline which is always a cool thing because you get to step away a little bit from the circuit races you usually see on the Touring races.
š What about you though? Did you play the event already?
Or, if you don't own The Crew 2, what do you think of the Porsche vehicles?

While usually, this is where my posts from The Crew 2 series are ending, this time we have one more thing to discuss about which is perhaps the main star of my article because today, along with the new Live Summit released in the name of the Porsche fans, there is also a new season coming out called American Legends.
This is an update to the game that it came with around 40GB patches to be downloaded, so on such a big upgrade to the game I did expect to see something new and worth being played after the long time waiting for the whole thing to be downloaded, lol. But this is exactly what happened! š
I remember that on the previous season released called The Contractor, I was quite vehement saying that I expected more from the game and the whole series is a lie with not too many things to do from those the developers were presenting which sounded like a lot of fun. Happily, things finally changed.
So, along with the races that are not going to be missing since it's a racing game overall, there is something presented which is a brand new thing for this game where you are basically going to receive 2 new stories weekly which you can complete by tracking a character and find clues that will take you to the end of the story.
Every single story comes with 12 separate steps you can follow which will end with finding the hidden legacy for each character. I think we can compare this to an usual racing game with a story behind but where this time new stories have been added to the main game which can be completed for a limited time.
Honestly, I didn't have too much time testing this out and see exactly what's everything about: if you can play it with a team or it's mandatory to do it alone, or if you are going to keep for yourself the legacy discovered at the end of each story or you are just finding it and that's it, but starting with tomorrow, I'll spend a little bit more time in the game and return in the next Wednesday with more news. š
Anyway, a thing to keep in mind is that you are still not going to step away from being needed to purchase either the premium version of the Motorpass or the usual one in order to be able to receive all the rewards the 50 level long episode will come with.
Of course, you can collect some of these which are FREE for everyone, but most likely you'll miss the whole fun and main attractions if you complete this without having the premium version. Which by the way, I don't own either, but I'll make sure to get my hands on it by the end of the season! š¤
That's all for today's post folks, hope you are having a nice week and that you are staying safe, and don't forget to escape from reality from time to time by playing games as they are really important to relax your mind! š
