The original version of the ride, known as Test Track [[ProductPlacement Presented by General Motors]], lasted until April 15, 2012. The original premise of the ride was a demonstration of the real tests that the vehicles we drive undergo before being sold at dealerships. The riders took the role of crash test dummies and go through a gauntlet of tests. The current version, known as Test Track [[ProductPlacement Presented by Chevrolet]], opened on December 6, 2012, and features a new futuristic look and storyline, with guests designing their own virtual car and riding it to test it through four parameters: Power, Responsiveness, Efficiency, and Capability. A third iteration of the ride was announced at [=D23=] 2023, still sponsored by Chevrolet, which will take inspiration from World of Motion.
