These times can be challenged every five minutes, with a timer in the bottom right corner counting down until your next attempt. Each track offers up a bronze, silver, and gold medal to obtain, as well as an official time to set. These stages are short, but the desire to stay on a given track, chasing the best time you can, is encouraged at every point. Frequently you find yourself driving up walls or drifting vertically around a quarter pipe. The majority of tracks last anywhere from 18 to 40 seconds they're short A-to-B sprints that take you around hairpin bends and over dizzying jumps. Learning the best routes around stages is never a chore. Nailing the perfect racing line to achieve the best time takes practice and experimentation as you figure out how to cut corners and start drifts earlier.

Each track has been expertly designed with the leaderboards in mind. It's great if you're interested only in score chasing, although it's far from a shallow game. You load up a track, start your engine, and then keep playing until you set a time you're happy with.


Solo play consists of 65 tracks, the majority of which are unlocked by obtaining medals. Getting into TrackMania 2 is a simple affair.
