The TrackMania Marathon 2020 is a journey through TrackMania's history - starting with the very first TrackMania game from 2003, we gradually move ourselves along the timeline of the arcade racing game's history and its development.
Everything happens LIVE every evening over at twitch.tv/riolutm
2006 marks the year of a new era for the TrackMania franchise. Introducing the seventh environment, Stadium, and a free-to-play business model, TrackMania reached for the skies. A game with an excellent soundtrack, iconic campaign tracks and an environment that's being played competitively to this day. What a game.
Enjoy the ride and see you on the streams.

![TrackMania Grand League Season 1 | Step 1 [POV Analysis]
The TrackMania Grand League returns for 2020 with the first official season! This time around, I will not be sitting on the commentators couch - instead I am on the racing tracks myself, holding up the flag for my new team Nordavind DNB.
With a slightly altered ruleset, 16 players representing different organisations from all over the globe will compete for the qualification into the playoffs where a prize pool of 10.000€ awaits.
Will 2019 champion Kappa be dethroned? Who will make it into the playoffs? Cheer for your favorite player & organisation!
Since I cannot stream my POV, I have recorded everything locally and recapped the race afterwards on my stream; giving you insight into my thought process and mindset, analysing situations and mistakes. I think thisll be quite interesting for most of you!
Third-person casts are available by multiple streamers in any case, though.
► Notable changes compared to the BETA season from 2019:
- 6 steps in the first phase (formerly 10 steps until the playoffs)
- 6 maps per step (formerly 5 maps per step)
- 6 laps per map (formerly 10 laps per map)
- point loss starting from map 4 onwards (formerly point loss kicked in on map 2)
- shorter warm-up
- 10 minute half-time break

![Trackmania Grand League Season 2 - Combine [POV Analysis Part 1]
The Trackmania Grand League is coming to its final stage and after the season 2 champion CarlJr has been crowned in the playoffs, it is now time to determine who remains in the league and who drops out.
In four different game modes, 16 players (bottom 8 TMGL groupstage + top8 OGL groupstage) have to prove themselves worthy of competing in the next season of the TMGL. Spread across two playdays, the action is tense as I have to fight a set of amazing players for the spot in season 3.
Buy Trackmania on Ubisoft Connect and in the Epic Games Store.

![B15-Race | 38.58 by riolu! (+ free backflips)
New WR: 38.53 by riolu
Hi, its TMNF boi here with another fresh -0.01 world record.
Actually not THAT fresh though since I drove this one a few days ago already but I had other uploads in the pipeline before this x)
Anyway, this one actually turns out to be one of the better TMNF maps to play because this one is actually fair and rewards pure skill instead of involving lucky/inconsistent tricks.
One of the main things here is knowing how to maximize speed on dirt by utilising the speedslide. This is important on two spots in particular:
1) the first dirt uphill where you want to get a low jump + slide a bit for extra speed
2) the exit of the long dirt corner in the mid-part Exiting the corner smoothly with a gentle speedslide to the left, then snapping into a right speedslide onto the road piece for maximum speed outcome.
Speedsliding is something that you wont pick up just like that, you really need to develop a feel for it and listen to your engine sound as well. The engine revs up a bit faster when speedsliding and theres a noticable drop in RPM when your speedslide ends.
Additional things to pick up on for this track are the long drop onto the dirt field. Make sure not to land 100% flat, otherwise flipping bad things will happen to you. Use the randstein before the drop to make the car tilt a little in the air, that usually works very consistently once you get the timing down.
After aforementioned dirt corner exit, the transition onto the road piece is quite important as well. Since youre travelling at moderately high speed, the car often bounces up a little due to the light elevation change from dirt to road. With a well-timed zigzag you can avoid the short air time and make sure to catch the entirety of the following boost.
Speaking of catching boosts, you need to position your car in a very specific way in order to get the full uphill boost on the platform. Steer left aggressively before the jump off the road and airbrake instantly so you land with your left back tire first. The resulting wobble will cause your cars weight to transfer in a way that it grips up the hill immediately without further air time.
As I said, this is a fun map and I wouldnt mind hunting it further - especially as this 0.01 improvement isnt really too satisfying. Ive had a -0.08 attempt on my old .62 PB once (which had a bad end too), so a low .5 is definitely within reach.
Heres hoping that were gonna reach the limits of this track at some point, Im ready to continue grinding :]
