I have been trying out Test Drive Solar Crown as its free play this weekend on GamePass.

Got up to level 12 and unlocked the clans and went for the hip Streets 😎

Now made it to level 15 and unlocked the different car settings (off road etc). Tried the "Sport" mode and that just made the handling much WORSE in my Alpine A110!

Playing on Series S, graphics are similar level to Forza Horizon 3.

Car sounds are ace in my starting Alpine A110 and Abarth 500👌

Handling very twitchy even in "Normal" driving mode, needs settings dialed in further I think. I've moved the steering from default sensitivity of -2 to 0 as the car understeers too much otherwise.

Had a very brief trip to Ibiza, but only race I could do which was irritating.

Lots and lots to do in this game, so far. Must admit I'm enjoying it - if I can find the right driving setting, I'll probably buy it 👍

Alpine A110 is definitely the trickiest of the starter cars. Once you reach level 20, you'll be able to better tune it to match your driving style. That said, you should already have plenty coin with which to purchase another starter car to see if it feels better.
 
I noticed that the base game is 50% off now on the Xbox store. I'm just waiting to see how the new solar pass is set up (have they given a price yet?) next week, before I look to buy the game.

Having said that I've just bought TC Motorfest, so may not have time for TDUSC anyway...

I was going to say the new Solar Pass is free, but checking the trailer again, it only says "offered to all players". I doubt it would be worth any money, unless the clothes and stickers available are really amazing. The main reward is just one or two cars you can buy in the dealership later, right?

Found this thread on reddit which confirms season 3 solar pass is free, but there will be a paid solar pass for season 4 onwards:



Also, apparently there are 30 convoy missions and 25 x navigation mode events at start of season 3 (with more to follow during the season). Don't know if they are replayable, but I think so.
The convoy missions are time limited - my guess is they will appear on the map I'm guessing one or two each day).

I think with the 3rd solar pass being free again that's enough for me to buy the game at half price.

Also, Nacon have just taken on a Community Manager and per his posts they're currently discussing what to add in year 2. Which at least seems to confirm there will be one!

They've a long way to go to get the game to where it needs to be, but they at least seem to be moving in the right direction 👍
