The Trackmania Grand League will start a new era with a completely new format. 1v1v1v1 matches will be the new Grand League standard from the Spring 2022 season.
Many matches at high intensity
1v1v1v1 matches will replace the current format. Each driver will play 5 matches every week. To win a match, a player needs to be the first person to win 3 rounds. The weekly ranking will be done after all 5 matches.
Fast-paced rounds
The 6-lap maps era is now over, and from now on all Trackmania Grand League maps will be classical start-finish tracks around 1 minute long.
Easy to understand format
All matches from every single week will be played under the same format. No multiplier, no point loss, a player needs to win 3 rounds to finish their match. Only one map per match, a new map on each match.
First two tracks will be seeding matches, while tracks 3 to 5 are Up & Down matches. Find more information in the rulebook.
Additional information about the TMGL
