Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown Announced

Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown was announced at today's Nacon Connect event, revealing the next installment in this racing series. This already has a Steam Listing, with a TBD release date and a very brief description: "Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is an open world driving and lifestyle experience. Grab your keys and live your life of luxury. Remember, social status is everything In the world of TDU." There's a very short cinematic teaser trailer for this and they offer some vague details:
It's confirmed: a new game in the Test Drive Unlimited franchise is in development at KT Racing. Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is the new ambitious project from Alain Jarniou and his team. Leveraging their experience making motorsports simulations such as the WRC series, KT Racing and NACON are offering their new vision of the franchise. Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown retains the DNA of the series, which is based on a love of beautiful cars and the joy of driving around a luxurious island world recreated at 1:1 scale. Players will compete against each other in the Solar Crown, a competition with mysterious stakes, to elevate their character's status within the community.

I really loved that about Test Drive Unlimited 2. It really felt like a world that you take part in, being able to walk around, buy your own place etc. and also drive around in a semi-free world. Exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately the driving was garbage. Test Drive Unlimited 2 with the driving physics from something like Project Cars would be awesome. Doesn't have to be as realistic as iRacing or something like that. Project Cars would be enough.
Now we donce.

They’ve got a lot of catch up work to do if they want to even be a shadow of Forza Horizon. Both previous TDU games had absolute garbage physics, which is sort of the entire game.

I think Test Drive Unlimited 2 provided a better feel than Forza:Horizon apart from the actual driving. TDU2 felt more like a place to explore and F:H felt like a mash of circuits put together then buildings were added. Great fun to drive around, but I think TDU2 nailed the experience outside of the driving better. The driving model was pretty bad in TDU2 and it's amazing in F:H. I just wish F:H had a better environmental/layout feeling, not that it's bad, just that TDU2 felt more enjoyable to explore and just drive around aimlessly.

I loved the first game. I played a ton of it on the 360. Then I got the second one on PC, and it literally never worked. I guess this game will be a tie breaker.

The last Test Drive game I played was such a strange experience, horrible car physics, even worse when you go fast (you'd think that's the point but meh) but at the same time, you could build your own place up buy garages and do a lot of random stuff.

It always felt less like a racing sim, and more like a "just sit in a car and chill while driving" sim. Very strange game.
