Trackmania, as featured in
Freeware Fridays is a fantastic Hot-Wheels style racing game. The point of each game is to get the best time on each track from start to finish, but it requires fast-reactions and moderate short term memory to succeed. Be warned: It is incredibly addictive.
I had a game with Rockman last night and before I could win he shut down the server, so I thought - with such good sportsmanship why not have an GW Olympics Event?
OK Cool I'm sold already gimme the download link!Your best bet would be to get it through
Steam as it is very fast.
Can we suggest tracks for the events?By all means, but it has to be a valid track of a high standard that has no annoying pitfalls.
When the tracks have been chosen, they will be posted here so you can download and practice them before the events.
When will we hold the events?Next weekend is looking like the best time to do this so we will aim to have everyone playing the practice tracks beforehand and then we will have a sequence of 10 minute tracks (say 5) and the scores will be tallied via screenshots and afterwards I will apply a MarioKart like points system to see who gets the medals.
Anything else?If you're still not convinced, here's a snazzy video.
