A driving and lifestyle experience unlike any other. The brand new Test Drive Unlimited keeps the DNA from the first games, and revamps it for the modern era. You have the freedom to progress however you like, the classic open championship concept returns too. Live your best life. Race, cruise, and hang out with your friends until the sun goes down and even after!

In a 1:1 scale recreation of Hong Kong Island, take part in an extraordinary competition, the Solar Crown, organized by the influential Radiant.  

At the wheel of exceptional racing cars from prestigious brands like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Koenigsegg, Dodge, Apollo and many more, you are free to explore the island’s varied environments, or take part in the most popular races on Hong Kong Island.

Beyond the cars in your stable, a reflection of your inspiration and reward for all your hard work, you can customize your lifestyle any way you see fit: choose your clan, Sharp or Street, and dress to impress, stand out from the crowd and defend your clan. Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown retains the  series’ original DNA, while bringing a modern updated vision of the multiplayer racing game to offer players luxury, exceptional cars and competition, reflecting the life that they’ve always dreamt of.

Built on the site of Victoria Park in the heart of Causeway Bay, the Solar Hotel is a 120-floor, 540-metre-high architectural marvel with a unique and futuristic design. Designed as a social hub, this majestic hall is primarily a place to meet, chat and gather with other players. In the large open space, the best drivers are showcased and any activities available are displayed. It's the perfect place to make friends or stoke rivalries! To further enhance the social experience, in Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown players can control their customized avatar as soon as they get out of their car. Available in enclosed areas, such as the Solar Hotel, this feature offers a wide variety of interactions and gameplay possibilities.

Located at different ends of the island, the headquarters of the Sharps and the Streets reflect the two clans' lifestyles and opposing views on luxury. The Streets chose to take over a former night club where the dark ambiance is offset by neon lights; while the Sharps opted to revitalize the restaurant of a luxury hotel to give it the calm and dignified atmosphere that characterizes their clan.

In the run-up to the release of Season 4 of Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown on July 23, Alexander Arthur aka Alex VII, Racing Content Manager at NACON presents a new Dev Diary with the developers of KT Racing. In this lengthy video, a first of its kind for NACON and produced entirely in-house, the developers reveal all the new features for the upcoming season, as well as an exclusive preview of the content and features eagerly awaited by the community, planned for Year 2 and beyond.

Since its launch in September 2024, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown has been enriched throughout its first year with new content, as well as numerous technical, Quality of Life, gameplay and network stability improvements. After exploring sunny Ibiza city and discovering new mission types such as Navigation and Convoy, players will soon be able to enjoy a whole new experience with the arrival of the Casino at the start of Season 4.

The Casino will enable players to wager their virtual currency on activities such as slots or poker (coming mid-season) and will provide special rewards including an exclusive car as well as various avatar and car cosmetics. 

Season 4 also introduces Stock Races (a set of brand-new races in which only factory cars can take part), the Active Aero feature (an improvement in spoiler behavior for cars that have one), the ability to completely hide the HUD, the Group Ping (add up to four routes to the GPS and invite the group to consult the route plan) and 5 new cars. 

The Solar Pass now offers two circuits: a premium circuit, obtainable with Diamonds, the new currency, and a free circuit available to all players. Owners of the Silver (Streets or Sharps) and Gold editions can claim this Solar Pass for free (with an additional 20 levels automatically unlocked for the Gold edition). Season 4 marks the end of Year 1.

Year 2 of Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown, scheduled to run from October 2025 to July 2026, will offer even richer content than Year 1, and will introduce features eagerly awaited by the community, such as cab missions, the creation of new mission types voted for by players, Official Racing Centers to facilitate PvP, houses, as well as a set of Quality of Life improvements and an upgrade to the internal game engine, the KT Engine.

All seasons remain free for all players, with the exception of the Solar Pass, whose premium circuit can be obtained with Diamonds from Season 4, and will always be accompanied by new seasonal content, including new cars, Quality of Life improvements and new gameplay features. The developers are continuing to work on several aspects of the game, including economic balancing, optimizing the game for both consoles and PC. They are also studying the long-term implementation of cross-region, crossplay and offline mode.
