New video & welcome to newcomers!
🕑 Added 2025-09-03 19:00:11 +0000 UTCMore than a year ago, I trained my AI for the first time on a special track: A01-Race. It’s the very first level of Trackmania Nations Forever’s official campaign, and arguably the most iconic and competitive map in Trackmania. But as I kept experimenting, this project grew into something much bigger than simply training an AI...
WOW, I’m so glad this video is finally done! It took so much work. At first I thought it would be a quick 15–20 minute video, but it ended up much longer than expected. Out of all my videos, this one probably drained me the most, but it’s also the one I’m the proudest of!
This video is the last of four big AI projects (20–35 min each) I’ve made over the past two years. For the near future though, I’m planning to shift towards slightly shorter videos (10–15 min), for two reasons. First, spending so long on a single video is really exhausting, so I feel the need to try something different. Second, shorter videos would let me upload more often (maybe every ~2 months ?), which I think would be good news for everyone.
As always, I’d love to hear your thoughts! Any feedback on the new video or suggestions about this Patreon are welcome. And as I mentioned at the end of the video, I’ve already prepared a few bonus clips that I’ll be sharing here in the coming weeks.
Finally, thank you so much for your support and for your patience between my (rare) uploads. I’m still working full-time on this project, and Patreon is especially valuable: it gives me more stability than YouTube income, and I’ve chosen not to include sponsors in my videos so far. Any support really motivates me to keep pushing this project in the future, and I can’t wait to share more with you!

Thanks!! Yes the bump can sometimes make the front wheels jump, instead of the rear wheels. At first I thought it was better to initiate the jump with front wheels because that's what people theorized with the initial bluebug strategy. But since the hole is too far from the downhill, it was better to first make the rear wheel jump like I did, which latter causes the front wheels to lift

Amazing video again! I really enjoyed the "root cause analysis". Approach when it came to overcoming the TAS. in this video That's what I call it at least in the way I do it at my work. With the little jump. Did it ever catch the rear left tire or any other tire? I shouldn't assume it did but if it did what happened? I will also give your AI credit after about 3 runs on A1 it was driving better than Logan Sargeant did in the Williams last year.
