What TrackMania is

TrackMania is an arcade game developed by Nadeo and released in 2003. It was published by Digital Jesters. It is available on PC (Microsoft Windows) only.

The premise, in the publisher's words

TrackMania is a racing game and the first entry in the TrackMania series, combining driving with track construction. Players race across circuits filled with jumps, loops, and tight corners to earn in-game currency, which is spent on building blocks used to design their own tracks on a snapping grid. Three environments, Rally, Snow, and Desert, each provide a distinct car and handling style, and the game includes Race, Puzzle, and Survival modes. Players can create custom car skins and share their tracks and skins online, and the game supports hotseat, LAN, and internet multiplayer. A later re-release, TrackMania Original, added new block types and features.
