Turbulence - Trackmania's Most Shortcut Classic Track

Trackmania's most shortcut classic track has a very interesting story to it, and one that I myself have played a big part in. Somehow, after every known shortcut was blocked by the author; players always managed to find new ones!

Incredibly enough, the track was just shortcut again for the 9th time! 39.79 by Dennis090. A new variant of cranberries 3rd shortcut, with taking the ring at the end. Simply amazing discovery and execution! See the full run here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gne6q2qiipJkqKM

generally a creator should appreciate that. Free playtesting!

I think he was impressed and pissed at the same time :)

[@EvanOfTheDarkness]

I think it was mostly lip service. If he really was impressed he wouldn't go trying to "fix" shortcuts. I don't think that the creator should be able to update "classic" tracks, and effectively reset the leaderboard. Times that you earned fair and square, should not be lost, just because the track creator wanted to add one more pole to the track.

[@michaelmoloney5112]

it's a neat trick that had been already done in old trackmania movies, it consists of saving the clip of the camera and rendering two or more videos of different maps of the same mediatracker clip and then alligning them and fade them. it's used a lot in meuh's little big car which you can find in the tm-tube archive!

I love seeing the record holders explain the story of speedrunning their game. There are so many amazing little details people who aren't among the elite would completely miss. Having a fuller understanding of the little tricks makes it so much better. I'd never seen Trackmania before youtube sent me here and I'm already getting interested in its speedrunning story. I also really liked the interaction between the designer and the runners here. Typically I would have thought leaving it to develop all the cuts and exploits which develop is better for the speedrun community, but in this case it really seems like both sides are having a ton of fun playing cat and mouse. Its just very wholesome to watch everyone come out happy as in this story.

Fantastic vid Wirt! Loved hearing about the history and people behind this track! Thanks for being awesome

[@ragerancher]

I was never a great driver so didn't ever design particularly technical tracks but I think it would be interesting to design a track that rather than trying to stop shortcuts, actively gives many opportunities for them and just see who can come up with the most outrageous route through a bunch of checkpoints dotted around in no particular order.

I've just tried this. I'm nowhere as good as Wirtual, and for me 64 of the tracks was easy. Only problem was D11, which took hours, but I managed to do it. So I don't think whether Wirtual can do it is an interesting question. A better question would be how many medals he can get.

How is that even possible? Not all tracks are made for fullspeed, and aren't then the curves just too tight? Or are you hitting the wall then all the time?
