World Record History of A12 - How Trackmania Players Made Cars Fly
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2024
- Trackmania Nations Forever is a forumla racing game, or at least that's what it should have been. But with players chasing the perfect record on A12-Speed, a long series of strategy improvements led them to an amazing discovery. This is the story of How Trackmania Players Made Cars Fly.

Can watch these all day
Ikr, like I’ve never played track mania in my life, but these historical WR vids are so freaking entertaining, i might just have to grab a copy
Same
yup
What site are the records posted on
@@VixenTM thanks so much
I am just imagining a random dude trying to grind it the intended way and wondering "how does one save 8 seconds on a single right turn"
"I'm in this comment and I don't like it"
I recently started playing it and wonder that every time I see a record board. Been loving this guy's videos for showing some of the tricks.
I stopped playing when I realised the records were being manipulated somehow. While not cheating, I still think a player should use all of the track. Cuts like these wouldn’t be kosher in motor racing (flying cars aside). Enjoying the videos none the less.
maybe a different leaderboard for no short cut track
the 18.79 without cutting will probably never be beaten tbh.
A track isn't truly optimised until Hefest gets a WR in it.
as soon as he said "and this is perhaps where the story SHOULD have stopped" i already knew it was hefest again lol
Forgot about PabloGD
No.
@@beyondkept3852 oh yeah
Tru
I like how you pay respect to the old records that would become obsolete with new shortcut discoveries.
It gives a complete layman like me a sense of understanding what the goal used to be and how the goalposts were moved as time went on.
You also have a nice voice and you are a great storyteller.
I found you when you speedran Trackmania on AGDQ and I was baffled how you fluently you narrated your run in what I assume is your second language.
I know next to nothing about Trackmania. I dont plan on ever playing this game, much less speedrunning it, but your narrations have me captivated.
Funny enough, Wirtual's yt content is mainly trackmania
This is so spot on. Very well put. I can truly relate to your words!
Imagine you join trackmania for the first time and you just hear people saying "yea man just go for a rammstein uber bugslide 360 combo hot pocket number 9 with a side of fries"
goe forgot to turtle the end :)
bug finish that too
i would say hell to all that crap. I just wanna enjoy trackmania the way it intended.
@@kosuzudrinkwater186 enjoy being an unintelligent bull, smashing your head into the barricades while those barricades are not actually connected to anything.
@@AvExCams7 well maybe if the shortcut is something than i can pull off, i will take that shortcut. Just start playing this week, sorry.
The sheer amount of patience of playing a track for 600 hours is insane
😳
To me it sounds like a hell of a waste of time
i spent over 400 hours on TrackMania Turbo #16 to get the record, and it *definitely* needs patience to not go insane
@@trinitytm2122 u are a hero
@@DUKEisALIVE ain't that the point of video games?
Videos like this are extremely important. There's only ever one world record holder per track and it won't even last forever, yet the work put in by the entire community - finding new strategies and refining old ones - is what makes this amazing. They may not hold the records, but there efforts need to be recorded for context.
We all are standing on the shoulders of giants

Why do you need to be a grammar Nazi?@@parknich081
Hefest is just an absolute unit of a human being. A machine. A terminator.
How does he pull it off? In every video about some insane or "impossible" WR, Hefest just comes in at the end and took it personally, that he wasn't the one holding the WR at the time.
Holy mother of cow.
“Holy mother of cow” 💀💀💀
Imagine grinding a level for 3 years to finally barely beat the record and then hearing that someone spent 5 minutes and launched themselves right to the finish line
That was the guy that made all this possible, imagine the outcome if nobody at all tried beating the track?
@@KaykyG018 I have a strong suspicion Trinity did his record legit and got cheated out of it! Look at all the recent cheating scandals
@@chriswelcome8102 To my knowledge pretty much all of the cheating related stuff came from game slowdown, which really wouldn't do you much help here. Things like save states are easily detectable by the game so cheating in that way wasn't really part of the scandal.
@@mikamoschella3410 Yeah.. No, the slow down would help with every aspect of this game. I'm pretty sure it would help with just about any game
@@chriswelcome8102 I mean with how little this bug seems to be understood, it's agreed to be almost entirely random? So unless these players know something we don't and are deliberately withholding it, slowing down the game shouldn't really substantially help them, it would just make the time to retry these takes longer.
I think A12 is the most miraculous map of Trackmania history. Each player that has ever hunted this map has a need to to keep trying to surprise the community with another impossible record. Since the uberbug came, I"ve been hunting the map for hours just to prove that 8-9xx is possible. Well hefest run is almost pure perfection but i still believe we will see a 9.xx one day. I am gonna try my best right now, because sometimes it may take only few minutes to success :) - Tortugo
9.xx is not possible.
100%
@@cebulak941 Think too, but who knows..
Bro, you can do this, I believe in you! Come on Tortugo!

Whenever he says “he got this legendary run” it gives me chills
That EmpLemon reference "Have you ever seen a Nascar fly" with Home's "We're Finally Landing" at 12:48 is honestly so good, and made me so happy
I'd assume both are referencing summoning salt though, the "nostalgic cozy artsy" editing style with HOME as the soundtrack was started by his world record progression series, which I dont mind lmao, it's great for these videos
Summoning salt
he is right, the sentence comes from EmpLemon's video about Dale Earnhardt
Such a fascinating video, keep up the great work dude
very much so, enough that I watched a thirty minute documentary on speed runs for one Track for a game I don't play. its the little things

Admit it. You found this channel accidentally, and got hooked.
Got hoocked to the game aswell
I don't even play Trackmania
Same. Also Fucking hefest. So far I see him breaking world records like a beast... Holy sit I never expected him to show up here
Also the game
His voice is soothing and matching for these kinds of videos.
the real secret to a wr on a12 was actually having a person from France, Nord-Pas de Calais join your lobby
22:57 and 24:14
Nord-Pas de Calais is truly a legend. He led others to a treasure he himself could not possess
The people from there must be magicians or something
Literally how did you catch that lol. That's incredible.
@@noinfo1018 "Nord Pas-De-Calais" is just the subdivision of France where the player is from. Like a state in the US, if you prefer.
@@dynamik8883 Holy shit I'm from there too lmao
Everybody Gangsta until Summoning Salt's theme starts playing
Lmao it's that synonymous with him
Lmao poor Trinity, spent 4 years to have his WR beaten in 3 days.
Ikr so sad, but that's how life is sometimes
but he did was the first one to breake the 12 second barrier
@@playandgo3390 But now the question is... Did it get beaten legit? With all the cheating happening now I reckon he did it without cheats and he got screwed!
But they've had it immortalized by this video now! We all know Trinity have it 250,000 attempts and 600 hours. There's plenty more hard workers whose legendary accomplishments we'll never hear of!
@@chriswelcome8102 i don't think that's a record where cheating would really matter since it's 99% luck based
Alternative title: "But Wait There's More!" great vid Clap
"but wait, there is less"
He even lies at 4:48 where Alex is already IN FRONT of Karjen (and will win this race by 0:001 second) and he wants us to tell, that "he increased his lead over the platforms"...... but if only 0:001 second in front THERE IS NO INCREASE!!!

I expected this video to not be as interesting to me, because I was there when the history was written, but damn, you made this video so well that I felt like I'm discovering it all for the first time being excited to see what's next :D
Yeah same, Wirtual is always making such good videos, I'm excited to "discover" things I've already seen years ago. He probably spends a lot of time on them and the result is always amazing
Same
I can relate to this, excellent vid
Imagine practicing a map for days after days just to get beaten by some newbie who only played for 5 minutes
And then he comes HEFEST LIKE EVERY SINGLE TRACK
Jk love Hefest
I feel bad for that soft guy.
That's what you get for playing lottery.
@@SubZeRoy9 ??? Soft!? Trinity played it for 4 years!
for years after years*
It was really nice that you added so much history prior to the A12 uber bug strat. I liked seeing the build up to why they were driving in the conditions to uber bug in the first place.
I had never even heard of trackmania before coming across your videos. Not only have i binge watched almost all of your videos by now, but have a new found respect for trackmania players. Y'all seem like a very devoted and great community! And you're doing a great job bringing more attention to this game
I love that Summoning Salt's influence is so widespread that the music he uses is now used on everything to do with world record speedruns.
Watch emplemon there will never be another driver like dale Earnhardt
I was looking for a comment like that
I saw a emplemon reference
I think Wirtual should find and use his own music. The line between ripping off and paying homage starts to blur.
@@SCDJMU The "Summoning Salt and EmpLemon music" is actually a track named "We're finally landing" by Home. To be more precise, it's the first track of Home's album "Before the Night".
The artist itself (Home) released a part of his own music also on RUclips Music Library so that content creators can use his tracks into their videos. Given the high quality of his music, this is no less than a gift for us all, not only for content creators.

Whenever a new A12 video is made, the TM community hunts again... Maybe the 9.xx is coming!
nah nah, you would have to say "10.3x is max" in order for 9.xx to happen. ;D
where is the server to join
I think you can bug faster, it depends how the game calculate it, and something even more exotic may happen
i truly believe it's possible to shorten the time just by a few fractions of a second. unlikely, but possible
@@WazaYTB because its a bug, it theoretically could be possible for the game to launch you into the finish in a straight line at over 1500 km/h. Now its just pure luck of hitting that bug.
Rammstein bug + bug slide + Uber bug + luck = world record
those wr player are draining their bag of luck for sure
@@muhammadtarunaaldiramadan248 or draining their bag of time
Riolu seems like such a nice person, and that laugh was great 20:25 xD
I never watch these documentary stuff but this is completely different. I didnt know trackmania before 2021 and i am absolutely stunned by these videos. I didnt get bored for a single minute during these series, please keep up the amazing work.
I've been playing Trackmania for about 10 years now, I found it in the time shortly after my girlfriend passed away and played it in the coming years as a method of coping. When I began playing the game, I was expecting it to have a pretty low player count on account of the fact that I'd never heard of it before. Boy, I could not have been more wrong. I had no idea such a huge niche community was hiding in plain sight.
I realize I'm new to the series, much newer than most other players, but everyone I meet in TM is so friendly and I'm grateful to have a game where I can just join a server and chat instead of needling to perform up to expectations. It's refreshing to play a game where people only help me if they see me struggling instead of trying to work against me.
Thanks for making these videos, and thank you, TM community, for being so kind to me.
Don’t care

I stopped played TM years ago. Yet I'm here, enjoying each and every of the videos on that channel. Thank you, Wirtual! You've made my TM-nostalgia-song playing again and again in my soul, like Lowko did same with SC2 :D
Can we just appreciate when hafest got sub 11 he screamed jibberish for 3 minutes straight, I wish I could be as hyped as that
He's clearly having a good time. ;-)
I have seen people faint on live stream after breaking records. It's fun to witness (as long as the player is fine afterwards, of course).
@@renerpho I suppose that would be a great way to die ie. "he died doing what he loved; smashing a world record"
Changed TrackMania Nations Forever forever.
I laughed way too much on this.
I don’t think I’ve ever been this emotional from a video game video. I almost teared up. This video had such a magnificent story with such an astonishing message to it. Thank you
This kind of video are amazing!
I don't play TM but I love the speedrunning, and I think the most passionnating thing is to understand how bug are descovered and optimization are improved.
You describe so perfectly the races that even a newbie understood the hype of each new path and each new strategy.
Each facts are clear and the timeline is very understandable.
It beautiful to see how tons of players gives their best to always discover incredible things and your videos are amazingly respectful of each those players.
Keep going like this! It's incredible.

Not even going to lie. I played this game a long long time ago. Your channel popped up random on main page for me. Im so happy it did. Thank you for reminding me my love of this game.
Thank you for the amazing content. So well done!
Hahaha, that online reaction of Hefest was awesome! He has so many records on Nadeo tracks already, so it's actually a bit ironic that he got this one as well, given how much luck is required. Judging from the sound the car makes, it seems he's accelerating mid-air almost continuously towards the closest finish, meaning this record is almost impossible to beat. You'd basically have to accelerate right after the jump and hope you're going into the right direction.
Anyway, lovely to see the history of the WR pursuit on this track. Thanks, Wirtual. :)
