"Lunatics Unite"
- MotorStorm motto
The Festival is the focus of the MotorStorm scene. It is where the racers meet and party in between races. Each Festival's location itself determines the sorts of racing and environments players will encounter. There are five festivals so far in the MotorStorm series.
- Monument Valley - MotorStorm
- An island in the Pacific Ocean - MotorStorm: Pacific Rift
- Alaskan wilderness beyond the Arctic Circle - MotorStorm: Arctic Edge
- A city on the US West Coast - MotorStorm: Apocalypse
- All four previous areas - MotorStorm RC
Monument Valley
Monument Valley, a well known wonder known to all filled with vast canyons and towering rock faces. Dare you take on the many challenges it beholds?:
- Massive drops off of towering rock faces
- Pools of mud
- Large stones jutting from the earth below
- Old, abandoned settlements
- Narrow, winding passages
This festival takes place in a valley placed in the middle of the desert where 'Stormers have set up a large stage surrounded by many campgrounds and events which send stuntmen flying in every direction. On the outskirts of the Festival are a few rogue camps for those looking for solitude as well as the many sponsors who prepare the tracks for the next race.
The Island
An island born from fire, shaped by the elements, claimed by nature, and abandoned by man. The lush and beautiful Island throws every kind of hazard which Mother Nature has to offer in order to stop the madness which is MotorStorm. These hazards are marked by Hazard Signs and include:
- Rivers of molten lava
- Lava bombs
- Cliff faces
- Deep water
- Raging rivers
- Jagged stones
- Weak bridges and structures
- Dense jungle vegetation
- Wrecks from previously claimed vehicles and buildings
- Sand and sulphur
- Mud, and lots of it
In this location the Festival takes the form of massive beach part thrown on both the beach and on a series of large ships just off-shore where mechanics work day and night to build and repair the contestant's vehicles. Off the beach in the jungle thicket are a series of smaller camps who will constantly find and test new track locations as well as place many ramps and hazard signs for good measure.
Alaska
Vast mountains stretching as far as the eye can see, all covered in snow from past generations, all asleep from an eternal slumber of solitude. That is until the 'Stormers arrived; and now the mountains have awoken, sending all they've got to rid this menace from their lands:
- Towering peaks which will send you over the edge
- Ice patches
- Wrecked vehicles and old, frozen structures
- Deep snow patches
- Collapsible ice bridges
- Unstable snow and boulders just waiting to cause an avalanche
- Thawed mud at lower altitude
- Stones jutting out from the earth below
- Gale-whipped mountain trails
This Festival takes place at the base of the mountain where the party-goers spend their time rocking out by the stage and watching contestants perform donuts in the snow. Meanwhile outside of the Festival, the sponsors risk life and limb to find perfect locations to race and spend their time setting up safety nets and many steel structures to ensure the moderate safety of their contestants.
The City
A city on the west coast of North America under seige, not just by the [[|The Crazies|ruthless gangs of outlaws]] which over-run its streets and the military contractor bought in by rich landowners to protect there assets, but by a massive series of earthquakes which threatens to send the City into the sea itself. Here, 'Stormers will enconter dangers from both man and nature alike:
- Gunfight crossfires
- Hijacked vehicles
- Military barricades
- Helicopters
- Tons of man-made debris
- Shattering landscapes and collapsing buildings
- Exploding trains, planes, bridges, etc
Here 'Stormers camp out safely at sea aboard their ships preparing themselves for the extreme, because this time, not everybody is coming back. This time, the 'Stormers are on their own out their as they risk their lives for the thrill of racing through the apocalypse.
Trivia
- MotorStorm RC is the only game to not have a unique, new location of its own.
