It's official: after months of work, we're proud to announce that notmycar Season 2 is launching for free on Friday, July 26th!

A message from NMC Studios:
Hey there, everyone. We have been discussing what to do about the problem with people teaming up in solos quite a bit over the last few days. It's unfortunate that people are doing this, and we realize that it is ruining the experience for many of you, so we have decided to institute a ban on any players who are verified to have been teaming up in solo mode. Here's how it will work:
Anyone suspected of teaming should be reported directly to the #report-players channel in our official Discord[discord.gg]. Please provide as much info and evidence of teaming as possible - video showing teamers working together with their username clearly identified is ideal. The dev team will review the reports and will make a final determination on whether someone was intentionally teaming up or not. If verified, we will suspend that player's account for 7 days for their first offence and 30 days for their second offence. If a player is found to be teaming a third time, they wil... Read more

If you're encountering connection error code 9403 when attempting to play notmycar, the issue is most likely your PC's clock being slightly off. As an anti-cheat measure, your PC's clock must be synced to match our servers. Even if it's off by as much as a few seconds, you may encounter this error.
How to Fix Error 9403 on Windows 10
  1. Open up the "Settings" app in Windows
  2. Search for and open the "Time & date" settings
  3. Locate the "Set time automatically" setting near the top and untick it
  4. Wait a few seconds and then retick "Set time automatically"
This should force a sync with the Windows time servers and set you to the correct time. If it does not, make sure your time zone is set correctly and consider changing your time server via the Windows 7 instructions below.
How to Fix Error 9403 on Windows 7
  1. Open up the "Control Panel" in Windows
  2. Click on "Clock and Region", then "Date and Time"
  3. In the new windows, go to the "Internet Time" tab
  4. Click "Change...
