I used to play the demo of Test Drive III. It only had one map I believe. But I loved that it was a sandbox, so you could drive anywhere. I specifically remember following along the railroad. It was way ahead of its time back then.

Oh wow, that's a game I haven't thought about in forever. Thanks for reminding me.

I remember a map where just at the start, you could turn around, jump over an open bridge and finish it in less than a minute.

On the other hand most maps have loops and I would regularly get lost, unable to finish it...

I used to play an Amiga 500 version of this. I think it was Test Drive 2 though.
