How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

The Crew Motorfest lets you fly as well as drive, and its official screenshots show a World War II fighter over the coast with Honolulu's airport ahead: a long runway built out into the turquoise sea, with the city's towers and the Ko'olau mountains behind it.

The real place

Runway 8R/26L at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, known as the Reef Runway, opened in 1977 and was the world's first major runway built entirely offshore, on a reef in the sea next to the older airfield. It is about 3.7 kilometres (12,000 feet) long, with downtown Honolulu and Waikiki rising behind it.

Visiting

The best view is from the air: take a window seat on a flight in or out of Honolulu and watch for the runway sitting in the sea. On the ground, Ke'ehi Lagoon Beach Park, east of the airport, looks out over the water where planes come and go.
