After 3 years of development spearheaded by Milli from the tduck forums, TDU Platinum has now been released.

This large collection of mods contains over 800 new cars that are added into TDU (instead of replacing existing cars). It also contains new physics, and comes with all existing game patches and the Project Paradise mod. In short, just install the base game and this enormous pack, and you're ready to play.

The Platinum pack is being distributed via Torrent and weighs in at 6 GB. Be sure to read the installation notes and back up your save game files.

I've been able to convert my 110% Ace savegame from the Gamespy type that doesn't load (thanks to the Gamespy shutdown) to an offline type so that you can cruise around solo.

Other possibilities:
* Best time challenge - who can get the fastest time (screenshot) on the 'Round the Island' challenge in a particular car/driving aid combo?
* Navigation race (with all the HUD and GPS off we rarely could see each other in these races anyway when the servers were up).
* Practice Hardcore mode drifting again before The Crew releases on November 11. (Closed Beta on July 23).
