TrackMania breaks its own maniacal track record

Okay, this is one of the first Guinness Book video game records that's actually impressed me:  TrackMania Nations Forever (free to download, free to play, from either File Front, Worthplaying, GamersHell, or Steam), has a record-breaking video showing 250 (!) players racing on the same track at the same time.  It's pretty nuts.  But I guess that's what you can do when you have a game that's signed up more than 1.5 million players in less than three months.  That's an average of 20,000 people signing up every day.

New Video - TrackMania Breaks a World Record

Launched two months ago, TrackMania Nations Forever has become a true video game phenomenon. The free downloadable racing game has attracted an unbelievable number of players around the world who are obsessed with the game's fast cars, spectacular single- and multiplayer tracks as well as powerful tools for creating tracks and race videos. More than 1.5 million players have already created a game account and each day, nearly 15,000 new players join the huge TrackMania community.

Now we are pleased to announce that TrackMania Nations Forever has secured a place in the famous Guinness Book of World Records for having the most players racing on one track. Released in 2005, the previous free game TrackMania Nations held the record of the largest online car race with 132 players running on the same track. With the release of TrackMania Nations Forever and its tremendous popularity, the record was quickly broken, as the Guinness book has recorded a race with 250 players taking part in an online race simultaneously! We're giving you the chance to relive this record by watching this incredible video where 250 players ride full throttle on a spectacular track. This has never been seen before!

TrackMania Nations Forever is available as a free download by clicking on the followed links. TrackMania Nations Forever offers a new "Forever" version of the Stadium environment, a solid solo mode and 65 brand new, progressively difficult tracks. TrackMania Nations Forever unites a large number of players, thanks to its engaging multiplayer modes, innovative online functions and revolutionary interactivity between players.
