Can a Trackmania Pro beat 3 beginners by only driving backwards? feat. Ludwig

A few weeks ago I challenged Ludwig to a 1v3 Trackmania match, to see how beginners would stack up vs a pro player... and to my surprise, he accepted the invite. But only on one condition: I had to drive backwards... So here's how it went
You should watch me live on Twitch:
