Option 1) The game starts you off in a random person crew with others who have recently started, but there is no guarantee any of them will stick around. Play enough to get the crew to 50.
Option 2) Form your own crew with friends. Get crew to 50.
Option 3) Send me a message with your EA name and I will invite you to ours. We're already 50.
Notes:
- It takes WAY more rep to level a crew than it does yourself. Loads more.
- Any rep you get for yourself, an equal amount goes to your crew. Itt doesn't take away from yours.
- Racing against others, as long as you place ahead of the NPC racers, you will still get rep equal to placing first, even if other actual players beat you.
