What is it?
WORLD DRIVE lets you pick a hand-built scenic loop set at a real place somewhere in the world and cruise it in the car you like — a relaxing drive with the view, no pressure.
Want a challenge? Try a Time Trial or an AI Rival Duel. Gamepads supported.
WORLD DRIVE has 21 loop roads, from Kawaguchiko under Mt. Fuji to the Amalfi coast and Lofoten. In free drive, the radio plays music from the road's country and captions name landmarks: one of the relaxing games online that feels like a trip. Among free driving games, it also has medal times and weekly races.
WORLD DRIVE is a 3D driving game with 21 roads spread across a globe. Each is a closed loop set at a named place: Kawaguchiko with Mt. Fuji across the lake, the Amalfi coast with Positano stacked above the road, the Lofoten islands under an aurora. Laps run from 3.7 km (Amalfi Coast Drive) to 6.9 km (Alpine Hairpin Pass), and the line glowing on the globe is exactly the road you drive.
The ten cars are invented designs with their own mass, power, brakes, drivetrain and grip; measured in the game, the Midnight Coupe reaches 100 km/h in about 5.2 seconds and the Cotton Camper in about 21. Apart from the music and four plant models, the scenery, cars and sound effects are generated in code.
Free driving has no clock: LOCAL FM on the car radio plays music from the road's country, and captions name landmarks as you pass. Racing adds one-lap time trials with medal times for every road and car, a duel against three rivals, and weekly and monthly series.

How to play
- Sign in with GameNow, then drag the globe and pick a course from a glowing road or the list on the left.
- Press 'Take this road' on the course card, then choose a car and colour in the garage.
- Press 'Let’s go' to start a free drive. ↑ accelerates, ↓ brakes, ←→ steers; let go of the gas and the car slowly coasts down.
- For an easier drive, turn on 'Assist' (L) at the top to just change lanes, and 'Cruise' (X) to keep your speed when you let go.
- Stop with Space to enjoy the view, and try C, T and G for camera, time of day and weather. Esc opens the menu to change car or road.
Modes
- Free drive
- No timer, 4–10 traffic cars, and time of day moving on by itself unless you fix it. Collect a road's landmark cards and take three postcards there to turn its ✓ stamp into a ★. Road trip in the menu moves you on after each lap, preferring undriven roads on another continent.
- Time trial
- One lap from a standing start after a 3-second countdown, alone in clear daylight with Lane assist and Cruise off. Your best lap per road and car becomes the ghost, and every lap is measured against bronze, silver and gold times.
- AI rival duel
- One lap against three rivals in your car model. On straights Club rivals hold 58–76% of top speed, Sport 70–89% and Pro 82–98%. Places use your time including off-road penalty; rivals get none.
- Weekly & monthly races
- A time trial on a road and car fixed per round; rounds start on Mondays and on the 1st at 00:00 UTC. The board shows the top 20 server-timed runs, and last round's top 10 are invited back.
Good to know
- Time Trial: start it from the garage and race one lap for a record. Driving off the road adds a time penalty; Shift+R restarts.
- AI Rival Duel: race one lap against three rivals in the same car. Pick Club, Sport or Pro in the garage.
- Press a road in the list a second time to set off right away in your current car.
- Racing wheels work too. Rebind keys and buttons in Esc menu › Controls.
