Free driving is a menu in Carmageddon TDR 2000 in which the player can have a free custom race that doesn't count for anything important. The player can choose between a variety of settings, many of which aren't reproducible on regular races.
Overview
This mode is available from the moment Carmageddon TDR 2000 is installed. It's the first option on the main menu. Upon clicking it, the player is presented to a screen much like the choose race screen. Here, the player may choose any car and level (but not mission) from a list of the cars/races that have been bought/entered. This means that after the game has been installed, once the player completes a certain race at any time, on any difficulty, on any save slot, that race can be accessed at any time in the free driving mode.
After configuring everything, including the options, the race starts as normal, except that winning or losing won't have any impact on the player's progress.
