this is an interesting online feature in the game;
Test Drive's focus is its online play, something Atari is describing as Massively Open Online Racing (M.O.O.R.). Whether or not that classification sticks is an entirely different matter, but what it attempts to describe is certainly interesting. TDU takes place on over 1000 miles of highway on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. The idea behind play online is to drop thousands of players into a server and let them interact in sandbox style play. As you race around the huge, open environments you'll be able to participate in online only time trials and races against other opponents, as well as challenge particular opponents by flashing your headlights at them. For those seeking more community, you'll be able to join up with clubs and organize tournaments and competitions.
