Impossible Trackmania Shortcut Finally Done After 13 Years

Trackmania players are incredibly dedicated, and it's not often that they're willing to disregard something as impossible. But on the track D07-Race there was an absurd shortcut idea that players commonly agreed was far too difficult to be done. But despite the seeming impossibility, a handful of pioneers dedicated themselves to trying it... and now, they finally did the unthinkable. This is the story of D07 Race.

[@TanikazeVT]

@@tellmethis6836 riolu used a program to slow the game speed on some of his runs allowing him to hit corners optimally. He’s never done it when he live streamed, only on his offline runs. Many of the trackmania games also records control inputs inside replay files. Donadego (I think I spelt that correct) coded a program that reads replay files and extracts control inputs. Riolu’s inputs on some of his runs were quite erratic, as if he double- or triple-tapped the right or left turn controls faster than any human player could at normal game speed. There’s a whole video that Wirtual made explaining this. In the video, he’s also included the full report in the description. To this day, as far as I know, riolu never owned up to it. I do not know if Wirtual will create a follow up video confirming the suspicions and if riolu admits his transgressions. Like Wirtual requested in his video, do not go messaging and attacking any of the players mentioned.
