Official announcement for Trackmania from Ubisoft, published on Steam on September 30, 2026.
Hello everyone,
After a great Esports 2026 season, it’s already time to start looking ahead to 2027! As we begin preparations for EWC & ENC 2027, we wish to involve the Trackmania community by launching an Identity Creative Contest.
This time, we’re inviting players to create and submit identities for the 20 Black Tracks that will be featured throughout the seasonal campaigns and the EWC and ENC competitions in 2027.
What is a Black Track identity?
Each Black Track will feature a unique obstacle that gives the track its identity and creates a high-stakes moment for the players. Your challenge is to imagine and create these signature obstacles for the 2027 Black Tracks and some of the biggest esports matches!
Guidelines & Criterias
Official Guidelines are available here: (https://www.trackmania.com/news/9288)
Submit Your Black Track Identity
Before submitting, please make sure your entry follows the Official Guidelines. Entries that don't meet the requirements, especially the consistency and randomness rules, may be disqualified.
What you need to submit:
- **Map file (.Map.Gbx): **A map containing your identity, with a short run-up before it and a finish after it.
- **Replay file (.Replay.Gbx): **A clean run of your identity driven by you.
- **Spectator clip: **A short video (ideally in Cam 1) showing how the identity looks from a viewer's perspective. Upload it to YouTube (unlisted is fine), or Streamable, and paste the link.
- **Description: **2 to 4 sentences explaining your concept, what makes it difficult, and how an easier version could be used elsewhere on a track.
- **Easier variant (optional): **A map file or clip demonstrating a simplified version of your identity.
