Introduction
Welcome to Test Drive 4. This game is a race in some of the hottest production cars from around the world, featuring high technology wonders and powerful American muscle cars. Test Drive 4 uses real-world physics for authentic interaction between vehicles and terrain, with a touch of the supernatural for speed. You can play solo or against friends for an adrenaline-packed race. Race in international locations like Keswick in England's Lake District, San Francisco (Golden Gate, Fisherman's Wharf), Washington DC (Pennsylvania Avenue), the Swiss-Italian Alps (Bern), and Kyoto, Japan. These are long road courses, not short loops.
Each track has several checkpoints marked by banners. You must reach each checkpoint before the timer at the top center of the screen goes to zero to continue. Watch out for traffic, spinouts, tight turns, and cops if you exceed the speed limit.
