Step Zero: The Foundation – Gear, Icon Points & Optimization

Before jumping into money races, your setup matters. To maximize earnings, your parts and Icon Points must support your grind. Here’s how:

Part Builds

Your vehicles need to be equipped with meta builds for fast and efficient race completions. For Hypercar, the recommended loadout is:

• All parts with Nitro Chemist.
• At least 3x Frenetic (boosts power during nitro use).
• Every part should include Rich (up to +3% bucks gain).
• Remaining slots should be filled with Pure (nitro power).

For Street Races and Powerboat, swap Frenetic for Refill Speed instead.

Icon Points

Every level past Icon 1 grants you points. Prioritize them as follows:

1. Max out Pure, Extra Pump, and Ventilated under Vehicle/Gameplay.
2. Dump remaining points into Rich to boost your bucks.

Even if you’re starting from scratch, these points build quickly. Don’t be intimidated—focus first on Nitro performance, then earnings.

Method 1: Harlem West (Street Race) – Up to 3 Million Bucks/Hour

Location: Top of Manhattan, Harlem West event (Street Race category)

Recommended Vehicle: Lamborghini Countach LP5000 Quattrovalvole – the best Street vehicle for this run.

This race relies on route mastery and tight shortcuts. It’s one of the earliest unlocks, and the payout-to-time ratio is great. But it’s a high-focus method—no background distractions allowed.

Route Tips:

• Cut across grass at the start to trim time.
• Memorize the two key trees for checkpoint alignment.
• Stick to the left side near the mid-race jump to maintain consistent landings.
• Hit tight inner turns using nitro at the top of your tank.

Average lap time: ~1:42, with fast runs hitting 1:39. Immediately restart after finishing to keep your grind loop tight.

Method 2: Uber Dam (Powerboat) – ~3.26 Million Bucks/Hour

Location: Uber Dam (first powerboat race in the Off-Road discipline)

Recommended Vehicle: Fria 1414 Demon – best-in-class Powerboat.

This method is ideal for background grinding—you can multitask with YouTube or podcasts while earning. It’s the most casual yet effective grind.

Settings Tip:

• Invert Y-axis for boats (Console: toggle in Game Settings; PC: remap “Lean” controls). This makes water controls much more intuitive.

Route Tips:

• Avoid jumps—they slow you down.
• Take wide arcs through checkpoints.
• Maintain consistent light nitro taps rather than full boosts.

A clean run clocks in around 1:16. It’s slower than Harlem West in execution but better for long hauls.

Method 3: High-Speed Takedown (Hypercar Police) – Up to 5 Million Bucks/Hour

Location: Top-left of the map, Seattle area. Hypercar > Police events > High-Speed Takedown

Recommended Vehicle: Bugatti Chiron Interception Unit – an expensive but essential investment for top-tier earnings.

Do this race on Easy difficulty to minimize targets and maximize efficiency. More enemies = longer mission, but payout remains the same.

Strategy:

• Start with the second enemy—you’ll have better momentum.
• Always approach targets from the side for faster transitions.
• Maintain speed over 220mph for one-hit knockouts.
• Nitro through clusters to chain takedowns without slowing.

With practice, your best runs can dip into 18 seconds per loop. No race is faster. Combine that with automatic restarts, and this becomes the gold standard of Crew 2 grinding.

Why It’s The Best:

This method is so powerful, it even outperforms methods in The Crew Motorfest if you have vehicle transfer enabled. That means making money in The Crew 2 can prep you for Motorfest faster than Motorfest itself.

Important Don’ts – Don’t Waste Time Here

• Harley-Davidson races: Poor payout and slow.
• New York: Fun, but not efficient.
• Drag events: Come in fourth place for payout—too long and setup-dependent.
• Stories/Hobbies: Fun but irrelevant to fast money.
