Chances of winning this vehicle depend on your performances during the last week of the month.With this upcoming patch, we are introducing a new change that will add a bonus chance on top of your performance during “The Summit.” Participation qualifiers throughout the month will award players with a +5% bonus chance of winning the exclusive vehicle for the month. This +5% bonus will be granted whether you achieve bronze, silver, gold, or platinum medals in any qualifier. If you participate in four qualifiers during the month ranking from bronze to platinum before entering "The Summit," you will already have a +20% chance of winning the exclusive vehicle!

Improved handling when using driving wheels, manual gearbox and clutch.Fixed the spawning location of vehicles in some missions.In GameSpot's The Crew: Wild Run review, Scott Butterworth awarded the game 6/10, saying the "UI is still an unintuitive mess, the story is still laughably bad and impossible for new players to avoid, and finding players to join my Crew frequently took far too long."
He continued: "While the driving mechanics and general visuals have undoubtedly improved, they still haven't caught up to other, better racing games like Forza and Need For Speed. As a result, The Crew as a whole remains a lackluster experience, even with its monster truck half-pipes."
