Beating Impossible Trackmania Author Times (by using an exploit!)

Wirtual investigates several Trackmania tracks that have long been considered impossible to beat, with author times untouched for years. He explores the concept of 'game versioning' in Trackmania, where changes to physics, boosters, and mechanics over years of updates have made previous author times unreachable in the modern, current version of the game.

Wirtual discovers that he still has access to an old, disabled, and obscure Chinese client of Trackmania, which features the original physics and mechanics from the game's initial 2020 launch. He proceeds to test multiple 'impossible' maps in this offline Chinese client, comparing his results against the modern game version and the original author times. Throughout the video, he documents the mechanical differences, the difficulty of these runs, and his eventual success in beating several of these long-standing records, often discovering that the intended solutions required old physics or specific exploits now absent from the modern version.
