Tomorrow marks a special moment: the 20th anniversary of Trackmania Nations ESWC that started the esports journey in Trackmania. After the announcement of Trackmania at the Esports World Cup and the Esports Nations Cup, we’re very happy to continue the celebration with a new game update tomorrow, January 27th, 2026.
The update will be live at 4PM CET and the new Winter Campaign will follow at 5PM CET.
Here’s what’s coming:
- Play in 4 new stunning Vistas;
- Enjoy a new style of racing with the Weekly Grand Track and the Grand Enduro online race;
- Progress more smoothly thanks to a new distribution of medals and an updated Prestige Skins system;
- Compete in the new Cup Of The Week on campaign tracks;
- Push your limits with Black Tracks to climb top ladders and qualify for the Esport World Cup and the Esports Nations Cup!
DISCOVER 4 STUNNING NEW VISTAS
Alongside the classic Stadium, Trackmania now brings you fresh racing landscapes made of islands:
- White Shore – Nordic vibes with snowy trees and frozen scenery
- Green Coast – Lush European valleys
- Red Island – American canyons, hoodoos and sparse vegetation
- Blue Bay – Asian Tropical lagoons, palm trees, and sunny beaches
The Winter 2026 campaign and its 25 new tracks will include these vistas.
Vistas blocks will also be available in the editor for PC and consoles, with special macroblocks on consoles to make creation easier.
NEW WEEKLY GRAND TRACK
Every Sunday at 6 PM CET, dive into a 10-lap race designed for a new racing experience, free of obstacles. You’ll compete against 31 other cars, starting from 32nd position, and your goal is to overtake them all.
This new feature is available to all players with Starter Access.

COMPETE IN 2 NEW WEEKLY CUPS
Every week, you’ll find two new competitive events on Nadeo online rooms:

PUSH LIMITS ON BLACK TRACKS
From now on, the Black Tracks from the official seasonal campaigns will serve as competitive tracks for the EWC and ENC qualifications and competitions. This direct path will allow regular players to progress more easily and aim for top-level play across both PC and console platforms.
- Black Tracks are inspired by previous esport routes from the Trackmania competitive circuit. You’ll find clear and distinct challenges (track identities) for players to master and spectators to enjoy.
- They offer a visual identity inspired by different countries, bringing a unique flavor to each race. For Winter 2026, the Black Tracks will take inspiration from China, France, the USA, Brazil, and Greece.
