Test Drive: Ferrari Racing Legends (or Ferrari Legends) is a racing video game in development by Slightly Mad Studios and to be published by Atari. It is the eleventh game in the series. It will be released on July 3rd, 2012 in North America, and April 20, 2012 in Europe.
The game is a departure from the Unlimited open world sandbox-gaming style and returns to the arcade racing, just as left in Test Drive 6 and also resembling Le Mans 24 Hours, a Test Drive spin-off.
Ferrari Legends will focus on Ferrari's history across almost all of the racing disciplines, including Formula One, rally racing, and GT. There will be over 50 different Ferrari vehicles to drive, and each will show off full realistic interior and exterior models, as well as damage effects.
The game is set to be released in celebration of the 65th anniversary of the first Ferrari ever built, the Ferrari 125 S of 1947.

Gameplay

The gameplay in Ferrari Legends is planned to be alike past Test Drive games like Test Drive 2 through Test Drive 6, but with racing taking place in closed circuits and inspired by others Slightly Mad Studios' developed games like the Need for Speed: Shift series, from which the game will base its dynamic models and damage effects.
Also, the single-player mode, also known as the campaign mode, will guide the player through the history of Ferrari cars, just as Electronic Arts did with the Porsche brand in the fifth installment in the Need for Speed racing games, Porsche Unleashed.
Rather than concentrate solely on Ferrari’s road cars, the game will cover several race series too, including Formula One, rally and GT racing. There will be 36 circuits in total including Spa and Monza along with other Grand Prix tracks and test circuits.
On the multi-player side, the game will feature up to 8-player online interactions, as well as the mentioned single-player mode. Although, it is not mentioned if the single-player challenges will also be played in co-op mode or completely online.

Release date: July 3, 2012
