4 hours hunting this map just to fail wr like this :( fricc you ioppa

Hey friends it's your good pal Meow420. As an American player who's been grinding COTN for close to 3 years, I'm very familiar with the format at this point. My long term goal was always to win one, and I did finally get that monkey off my back (yay!).

With that said, I'm still struggling with not fumbling in the very late rounds and finals appearances.

I've made 8 Div 1 finals now. Looking back:

• Crashed in my first two finals appearances (Understandable I suppose)
• Got outdriven in most of the others
• Crashed finals again last night

In fairness to myself, 5 of the 7 final round losses were to the absolute DEMON that is AR_Down.

I always assumed that the nerves would go away after putting myself in that situation enough times. This definitely is the case as I've definitely gotten better about it, I just still find myself making small mistakes that I'd rarely make earlier in the tournament. My hands aren't shaking or anything dramatic, but heart rate definitely rises and I can feel myself driving differently.

For those of you who've won COTNs or consistently perform well in deep runs:

• How do you remain calm, cool, and collected.
• Any tips, routines, or mental tips for treating it like any other round?

Thanks in advance for any tips.

Edit: On another note, if anyone has the "2" shaped car skin the Shorty used to run a while back, seems appropriate in this case.

WIP off/on since deep dip 1. Pyramid maze map

I see the amount of unbeaten AT's has started growing a fair bit again. Are people still hunting them or did people lose interest?

Not at all asking because I created a map 10 days ago and almost nobody has tried it lol

It’s been 2 months and I miss trackmania more than any of my ex girlfriends. I put 4 hours a day minimum into this game grinding. It is the game that I put the most time and love in. It is my favourite game and for years ive grinded ranked mode. While I my pc gets fixed I pray there’s something slightly like it on mobile. I need something to fix the hole in my soul. I can only watch so much bren and wirtual before I go stir-crazy. I assume there’s no answer but I need something

I’m going back and revisiting the first time I played and I noticed I didn’t get a couple author times and Track 10 is one of them. I’m driving it and I can improve but once I get to the huge ice wall I lose the speed and can’t make the huge jump so I have to release. Best I can do is a low 43.
