In total, 19 tiers are offering free rewards, and for Episode 2 this includes the Creators DeLorean DMC-12 Outadrift (Drift). This heavily modified DeLorean exists in real life: designed and built by Alexandre Claudin, a drifting pilot from Lyon, it has been faithfully reproduced in The Crew 2.

Dominion Frozen will also offer new customization possibilities to our players with 48 new vanity items, including animated Rooftops, as well as avatar outfits, smokes, tires, underglows, window tints, and more. Players can of course expect more vehicle additions over the course of the Episode such as the Lamborghini Reventón (Hypercar) on October 19^th.

The LIVE Summit experience also continues during this brand-new season, with a new batch of weekly iterations.
