This causes your car to stay with 4 wheels on the for after going over the crest of the downhill. (NOTE: this only really works when there is a downhill straight after the start).Īs you approach the crest of the downhill, sharply turn left or right (depending on where you need to end up at the bottom of the hill). Instead of going straight down the hill like most players will, you go down the hill at a sharp angle. Firstly, a suprising amount of tracks have a downhill after the start of the track. This applies to certain large areas of driving in Trackmania. Keep 4 wheels on the ground as much as possibleĭue to your car being 4 wheel drive, you want to keep as many wheels on the ground at all time which allows for more acceleration. Trackmania driving does not reflect driving in reality as you can also accelerate at the same time you are braking, which is quicker than just braking, so use it as much as possible (covered in depth later). However, sometimes taking a much closer to the line can be faster, depending on the next corner (this will be covered in later chapters). If you’re going round a corner and you have space on the side of the car furthest away from the corner after completing it, you could have done the corner at a higher speed.
To get a really fast time, you want to make your car go as fast as possible (that is true), which means using the width of the track. Some of these skills are very obvious, however some are overlooked.

Suprisingly, basic driving skills are needed to become a succesful driver in Trackmania. However, i do advise using a pad if you plan on driving competitively, or at a high standard however you can still drive very fast with a keyboard! This probably due to most players using keyboards because they are available, and also just play the game for fun. This makes driving with a pad the most effective way to drive in Trackmania, however more people drive with keyboards. Die to having a wider array of turning degrees, this allows you to turn the degree of the corner and take the fastest line possible whereas with a keyboard you have to turn a certain degree all the time, and so cannot always take the fastest possible line through every corner. The second point is what makes driving on a pad faster than driving on a keyboard. This is even faster than driving with 2 hands on a Keyboard for several reasons:ġ) You can still have 2 different hands on the accelerator and brake.Ģ) You have a degree of turning so you can choose when to turn hard and when to turn lightly, unlike a keyboard, where you have to turn hard (unless you tap very fast but that is not very effective).

This means driving with a controller (xbox 360, ps3 etc.) or with a gaming pad. The other way you can drive is with a ‘Pad’. So the main tip from this section is: If you drive with a Keyboard, USE 2 HANDS TO DRIVE!

These 3 reasons are the reasons that ALL of the top drivers (that drive with a keyboard) in Trackmania use 2 hands to drive instead of one. (This may feel strange to start with, however you do get used to it very fast).ĭriving with 2 hands in Trackmania is far faster than driving with 1 for the following reasons:ġ) Your ability to ‘power-slide’ is now much easier to execute (will go over ‘power-sliding’ in a later chapter!)Ģ) Breaking now requires no backward movement of the finger/ no movement of the finger that is used to accelerate.ģ) You can now keep your right finger constantly on the accelerator, therefore can now drive faster! the right hand can now concentrate on accelerating and turning. By 2 hand driving, i mean moving the break to the left of your keyboard (left ctrl) so it can be controlled with the left hand instead of the right. This would be too cramped for fast driving and would cause several unforced mistakes. There are 2 types of drivers in Trackmania drivers that drive with one hand, and drivers that drive with 2.īy driving with 2 hands, i do not mean 2 hands on the arrow keys. This may seem slightly obvious, but the placing of the controls in Trackmania can make a big difference on how fast you can potentially drive. I will keep all these posts in the same catagory, so if you have a certain part of driving you need to work on, you can check that section
TRACKMANIA 2 VALLEY CARS HOW TO
I am going to split this entire post into different sections, which will go into massive detail about how to drive certain corners, and also give tips on how to execute certain techniques effectively. If you play Trackmania and are looking to improve, or simply just want advice, this post is ideal for you. This is going to be my biggest post yet, and it’s going to be all about Trackmania. I have finished my Trackmania Driving Guide after a week of solid writing so here it is!
