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.

Blah, blah, fucking blah blah. Or is this where I should say, "Another of Splinterdick's replies that we could do without, because he's got nothing constructive to add to the thread?"

Oh, wait - lol.

Make an intelligent reply, you might find you get intelligent conversation.

Make a stupid reply (i.e., "Racing is for Red Necks), you get what you get.

Ite ite, no need to flame. I was just joking.

Racing takes alot more s kill then it looks like, and i rather enjoy racing games, especially when they let you free roam like in GTA (not really racing) or NFS.

I think that some comments could be left without. Stupid sterotypes and stuff like that can only lead to trouble. Remember - there's more than one kind of people who view this forum - it's very diverse.

I'm a red neck and your comment offends me greatly.

On a constructive note, or maybe not, I downloaded the game and it was corrupt. Sooo was this a one off or has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks for your clarification NirvanaRules - I too enjoy racing games, although I myself am partial to "Sim" racing, like EA's Formula 1 series, and especially the sports car racing-related mods, FIA:GT-R, and the like. Fuck, I've spent countless hours trying to set up my car perfectly, adjusting camber/caster, suspension rebound = all to get my ass handed to me by some asshole with better hand/eye coordination than me.

That's not to say I haven't spent countless damned hours racing in NFS - especially Porsche Unleashed...
