Hey everyone!
I just wanted to share this small victory with the community. I started Trackmania a few days before Spring 2026 released as a complete Trackmania noob—I didn’t know what a "drift" was, I had no idea how to handle ice, and "gears" were a total mystery to me. I still don't know most concepts now :).
After 35 hours of grinding, crashing, and restarting more times than I can count, I finally managed to get a medal on every single track!
I managed to snag the Author Medals for the first 15 (those took some serious sweat), kept it Gold for the reds, and honestly, I’m just happy to have survived the black tracks with a Bronze. Australia and Hungary were a PITA btw with me grinding for hours just to get the medal!
This has been one of the most fun, frustrating, and rewarding gaming experiences I’ve ever had. The "one more run" feeling is absolutely real in this game. I’m officially hooked and can’t wait to see how much more I can learn.
See you on the leaderboard!
