New mod for Trackmania released!
Nadeo, developers of the massively played online racing series, Trackmania, have come up trumps with their free Trackmania Nations ESWC game!

For the first time in the history of eSport, a video game has been specially developed for the Electronic Sports World Cup and is being offered free of charge to the players of the entire planet so they may commence training for the qualifiers due to take place in 53 countries on Friday 27th of January. The Grand Final of ESWC will be held in Paris from June 28th to July the 2nd , in front of 40,000 people, where the best players from each country will battle it out for a prize of 400,000 dollars.

This special version features a brand new environment, the Stadium, and a revolutionary new gameplay designed for Nadeo's own custom cars. Nadeo has pulled the technological rabbit from the hat with their own brand game engine, featuring the series' best graphics yet, finely tuned for the latest generation graphics cards, not forgetting simpler machines so that no one round the world has a technical freeze out on the race track. With the online in-game ladder, players can customise their cars and avatars and race in their nation's colours on the world's servers from Friday onwards. Many Trackmania and Trackmania Sunrise players will already have access to the following exclusive features: peer 2 peer data exchange and skin and avatar customisation.

Some of the custom tracks are nuts :D

I've made a few custom tracks, but compared to some of the ones out there, they aren't that good :p
 
There is a thread on the Trackmania forums about the protection program.

IMO it's all just over hyped carp.. I don't have any stability issues with the games on my system.
 
Ok found my fav track.. the one where there is a single jump and you need to land on the line to get within 0.00001 to win :p

Hovering between 50th-60th in UK (~900-1000th in World), depending on how much time I get to play :)

I recommend the OTMB server.. the custom tracks change about once a week or so.

Duke, I saw you on there briefly yesterday around mid-day!

This is a great game for wasting some time in a very arcadish way, when I don't feel like setting up the steering wheel/pedals for Live For Speed!

:cool: Indeed that's what the game is all about.. just load up (which takes only seconds), join a server and enjoy :p

I will check out this server this evening. How is it for player numbers and lag?

It's a large server with 40-50 people on at peak times. UK based with majority UK players, so is generally unlaggy to play :)

how do you turn off the other cars? I have gone into the preferences and set the key press, but presing it doesn't do anything, sometimes when there are 50 or so players on i get some lag and often leads me crashing into a barrier :(

AFAIK you cannot turn off other players.. can only suggest to turn down some options (turning off shadows is a good one - I find them a little distracting anyway).
 
Most likely system lag - with 40-50 cars on track, it can tax even top end systems :p try turning off shadows and AA.. put AF down a notch too.
