The closed beta for The Crew 2, Ubisoft's open-world racing game, will begin on Thursday, May 31 and run until Monday, June 4. During the beta period, players will have access to the first level of the game's progression system in the Street Race, Rally Raid, Powerboat, and Aerobatics disciplines, as well as the Fast Fav feature that enables vehicle types to be switched on the fly. 

That's the big hook in The Crew 2: If you're in a plane flying over water, for instance, and decide you'd rather be on the water, you can change your ride into a boat and take to the waves without the unpleasantness of crashing. It's not exactly the most realistic approach to racing, but it should enable some interesting moments behind the wheel.
