News The Crew: Wild Run’s December update includes handling improvements
News
Specific details on The Crew: Wild Run's December update have been shared by developer Ivory Tower.
The December update (which still doesn't have a release date) includes a new vehicle in the shape of the rather awesome Pagani Zonda which will be available in Full Stock and Performance specs only. Also newly avialable is a new drift spec option for the Mazda RX-7 which many fans were asking for according to the developers.
Furthermore, many of the game's cars will receive handling enhancements with improved aerodymamics, steering, countersteering and grip all getting some much needed attention. There will also be a greater divide between the various driving models (help, sport and hardcore). Some Christmas themed stickers will also be available in this upcoming update (so i'd imagine the update will be coming this Monday or Tuesday at the latest).
You can see the full changelog below and you expect to see the update go live in a matter of days.

TUNING AND CHANGES
Free Drive Stunts: The "No Crash" condition will now be triggered after level 10.
Key binding – PC players: PC players were unable to rebind all their keys the way they wanted. This has been modified and PC players will be able to rebind their keys as they wish.
The Summit music volume is now linked to the Music Volume instead of the FX Volume in the options.
GENERAL FIXES
Fix in Summit leaderboards: Removed the debug text which could be seen on the leaderboards of the Free Drive challenges, Free Drive Stunts and PvP.
Number of required medals to access the monthly Summit: Three medals appeared as needed to access the monthly Summit.
Inability to start the European Qualifier with some cars: A few vehicles weren’t matched to their region of origin (European cars), preventing them from being used in the appropriate Summit Qualifier.
Kicked to the Main Menu during a Summit event: Players could be kicked to the Main Menu if they were in a middle of a Summit activity when the related Summit was ending.
Fixed the improper value of players registered in Free Drive Stunt in the smartphone.
Fixed a display issue where the Summit Qualifier appeared to be closed when it was actually active.
Fixed an issue where an improper amount of ESK points was granted to a player at the end of a Free Drive Stunt.
Fixed a display issue where 255 medals were needed to get access to the monthly Summit if a player never entered the Summit.
The “Looking For Crew” queue should now be working properly with the Free Drive Stunts.
Fixed a display issue where a part of the overall Summit leaderboard went outside of the screen if a player opened it after completing a Free Drive Challenge while a Summit was active.
Fixed a display issue where the Summit reward page displayed a Monster ESK instead of a Drift ESK.
Fixed an issue during the Summit cinematic when entering with a Monster Truck.
The bonus faction missions available at the end of the month will now be properly activated.
