TrackMania Rally Update Adds New Vehicles, 220 Blocks, and Physics Changes
TrackMania introduces the Rally car alongside 220 blocks, 21 items, and revised action key behavior. Players also find an updated Snow car hitbox and numerous interface adjustments across game modes.
The TrackMania Rally update arrives with a large set of additions, led by the Rally car, 220 blocks, and 21 themed items. Developer changes also target control inputs, interface clarity, and course editor functionality.
Vehicle Adjustments and Action Keys
Action keys for the Rally and Snow cars now adjust sensitivity ranges rather than clamping them. Using Action Key 2 sets sensitivity between 0% and 40% as an experimental feature for the season. The Snow car receives a hitbox improvement, which invalidates previous records made with collisions or press-forward methods. Minimum sensitivity drops from 1.0 to 0.1 for finer control, and control settings reorder options to highlight the active vehicle.
Course Editor Additions
The update introduces 220 blocks and 21 items featuring the Rally theme, including castle roads, dirt roads, transformation gates, and cliff decorations. Creators gain skinnable arrows for pillars, RallyTheme signs, and macroblocks for the gamepad editor. The embedded track size limit increases from 4MB to 5MB, with up to 5MB reserved for items.
Interface and Mode Updates
HotSeat mode displays the second-to-last alive ghost alongside the best ghost. Ranked mode adds a beginner advice pop-up, and the club page features a verified badge. Gate gameplay colors use red for Snow, orange for Rally, and grey for Stadium and resets to improve readability.
Why this patch matters
The Rally update expands TrackMania creation tools while changing vehicle physics and action key behavior for competitive drivers.
