The McLaren Festival was a Festival event for Asphalt 8: Airborne as part of the 2021 Lunar New Year Update. It was held on the following dates:
*March 8 - March 18, 2021
== Description ==
The objective of the event is to collect .
Coins are contained in Festival Coin Packs. They are obtainable from the quests, a daily free Coin button (once per day), through the Festival TLEs or from purchasing Festival bundles.
Purchasing the Festival Pass with an in-app purchase grants additional rewards when a new tier is reached. If the Improved Festival Pass is purchased, all Premium rewards in completed tiers will be awarded.
The Premium Pass costs or €16,99 (EU) / ?$ (USA).
3 quests are available for each day of the event and every quest has 5-8 levels.
Several one-time purchase bundles were available during the event with each bundle giving Festival Coins and Fusion Coins. Later bundles would give credits as well. Purchasing a bundle would unlock a larger bundle.
If the player reaches tier 25 and has leftover coins, it is converted into credits. 
==Strategy and statistics==
* The Festival has 164 quests with each quest granting one .
* TLE strategy:
** There are two dedicated Festival TLEs that reward Coin Packs. It is essential to reach a high leaderboard position in the first TLE to unlock more tiers that grant needed to further upgrade the car.
** Players who already owned the reward cars at higher tuning get significantly more festival coins and Kit Cards and reach high leaderboard position. On the other hand, players who didn't own the reward cars before and bought the Premium Pass for real money get significantly more Festival Kit Boxes to upgrade their car to reach high leaderboard positions.
** The second Coin Pack TLE starts later, rewards more Coin Packs and finishes 1 day before the end of the Festival. 
** The two Coin Pack TLEs grant a total of 128 Coin Packs (49 in first, 79 in second), but this requires reaching the top  in the first, and first in the division for the second.
** All in all, an average of €/$ 40–50 is needed to reach tier 25.
* Upgrade tips:
** As high leaderboard positions are essential for obtaining further to upgrade the Festival car, pro upgrades should be applied wisely.
** Speed-based vehicles should be upgraded in the order Drivetrain → Tires → Exhaust → Suspension. Drivetrain improves top speed and acceleration which are most needed to compete in the TLEs.
** Nitro-based vehicles should be upgraded in the order Exhaust → Suspension → Drivetrain → Tires. Exhaust improves nitro and acceleration which are more important for vehicles that gain more total speed through nitro than top speed.
** As the Festival grants only few cards until the first TLE, it is essential to use them to upgrade only that section that delivers the most speed, no other sections ( only Drivetrain for speed-based vehicles or only Exhaust for nitro-based vehicles).
