Oh man.. I remember how much fun we had playing trackmania!! I still see badasp jump over there to play with hirsch every once and a while..
Well guess what!!!
Trackmania 2 is coming!! They were supposed to launch a beta already, but it isn't quite ready yet.. but lets cross our fingers for.. soon!
Check it out:

P.S. I can't afford it, but maybe if I sell my sperm... I'll sell to the highest.. and lowest bidder..

We played trackmania nations forever and my biggest issue was I was hoping to be in a race around some type of track where you do laps and so forth. Not saying it wasn't kinda fun trying to navigate through. Is there something I'm missing or is the point to navigate through the tracks in best time against everyone else (?) if so then I will try it again with that in mind.

I can't wait for it to come out. Trackmania is still fun. Wardad, sometimes there are laps but the only time I've seen them is in single player. But the game is more of a time trial format.

yah.. its all time trial. I imagine trackmania two will have other game types though. It is actually way fun when you get a bunch of people in vent and just trash each other..
My biggest complaints for Trackmania was.. no collision, and I would like a race mode.
That is what led us to Blur.. ahh.. blur..

There are definitely servers with more standard lap-type tracks. If you need help finding one hit me up on Steam and you can follow me through the buddy list. The short time-trial tracks are definitely the most popular, however. I prefer those myself as with the larger tracks I always find a way to screw up right at the end, thus screwing me over for good in the race. At least with the short time-trial tracks I have multiple attempts in case I mess up (which I will).
Trackmania 2 does look promising. For one, it will have collision, so all you griefers can have your fun. Secondly, it will introduce all entirely new environments (none carried over from previous game), so that should be fresh and new. Of course the game will look better than before, as it's on a new graphics engine.
The main appeal of the game for me is the endless tracks. I love games with custom content and Trackmania is a great example. It certainly would be fun to get a group together again for this. Knave renew your server now, or we'll get Hirsch on it.
