Trackmania is a special racing game where the goal is to be as fast as possible. Players are always looking for shortcuts on the tracks. One shortcut was considered impossible for 13 years – now a player has disproved this thesis.
What is behind the new shortcut? The original racing game Trackmania was released in 2003 but still has a large fan base today. This is partly due to the fact that the tracks allow interesting shortcuts, which players must discover and master.
For years, fans have been trying to outdo each other with such shortcuts.
The first shortcuts of this kind were found on the track D07-Race. Over the years, new ways have been sought and found to beat old records. Trackmania fan Drarker developed a particularly interesting idea for a shortcut that had been considered impossible for years but has now been mastered.
The entire story of the shortcut and the various stages players have gone through have been summarized in this really well-made video by YouTuber Wirtual:
Trackmania player achieves the seemingly impossible
What kind of shortcut is this? Just before the end of the D07-Race track, the ramp marking the finish line can be seen on the left side. Drarker set his mind on jumping onto this ramp before the last turn in order to cross the finish line from the other side and thus avoid the last obstacle.
However, this proved to be extremely difficult. For over a year, players tried to accomplish this before Trackmania fan Rolling finally succeeded.
To master this shortcut, it is necessary to jump over the railing. The car must be drifted at the right moment and with the right speed. This way, it takes off the ground. The vehicle then spins through the air, and those who have timed everything correctly will land back on the track and skid across the finish line.
For 13 years, players of the racing game have been looking for shortcuts and have continuously found new ones over the years. Now the last one seems to have been cracked.
What happens next: But this does not mean the end of the challenges. As Rolling’s time proves, there is still room for improvement. Although he achieved the special jump, he had over a second delay on the old world record beforehand.
Others will surely not only try to master the shortcut but also to beat Rolling’s time.
What do you think of this achievement? Can you understand that even after 13 years, players are still searching for shortcuts in Trackmania and spending a long time mastering them?
