Test Drive 4

About

Test Drive 4 is a 1997 racing game built around 10 high-performance vehicles split between modern supercars and classic American muscle. Each car has distinct handling and physics that demand skill to master. Play through five circuits plus a drag strip in modes like world championship, single races, and ghost-car time trials. Tracks force you to follow fixed layouts with no shortcuts, emphasizing precision over shortcuts. The game is noted for its focused car roster and rigid track design. While it lacks the open exploration of earlier entries, the emphasis on authentic driving mechanics and varied racing formats has kept it relevant among retro racing fans. PC and PlayStation players from the late 90s still cite the Jaguar XJ220 and Chevrolet models as highlights.
