Mac compatibility
Can you play The Crew Motorfest on a Mac?
Short answer: Probably not — The Crew Motorfest uses BattlEye, which needs a Windows kernel driver that no Wine-based tool can load. Untested, but the anti-cheat decides this one.
What we know
Steam lists The Crew Motorfest for Windows only. Its requirements name GPUs but no DirectX version. Either way, the anti-cheat decides this one, not the graphics layer.
Steam's store page lists BattlEye as third-party DRM, and the game requires a Ubisoft account. BattlEye runs as a Windows kernel-mode driver. AreWeAntiCheatYet lists The Crew Motorfest as supported on Linux/Proton — encouraging, since Proton is built on Wine like Grapple, but whether that carries over to Wine on macOS is exactly what a test has to show.
Grapple settings
Nothing verified yet. Where to start, based on its DirectX version (in the app, the same options are in the game's settings):

Heads-up: this game uses BattlEye. Anti-cheat support can differ between Linux and macOS, so treat online play as unverified until someone has run it.

FAQ
Can I play The Crew Motorfest on a Mac?
Won't run, but nobody has tested it with Grapple yet. That's what the game's published facts suggest, not a result. The page changes to Works once players report it working.
What might stop The Crew Motorfest from working?
It uses BattlEye. The developer enabled it for Linux/Proton, but we know of nothing equivalent for Wine on macOS, so treat online play as unverified.
Is there a Mac version of The Crew Motorfest?
Steam doesn't offer a macOS build of The Crew Motorfest; it's listed for Windows only.
