The Stadium Car is the car for the Stadium environment. It is based on a Formula 1 racecar. Its design allows the driver of the car be visible, something which none of the other cars allow. It is very fast and has good traction, which makes it resistant to sliding, and has good braking.Unlike other cars in Trackmania United, the Stadium Car tends to gain speed when drifting. This has led to a technique used in competitions, known as "neosliding", to make tighter turns and maintaining speed. To perform this, turn at full lock and then, once leaning, hold the brakes. The car will start to slide quickly towards the direction you're turning to, and upon releasing the brakes, the car's grip returns and you will gain a sudden burst of speed. Activating the brakes before or just as you turn will only slow you down.
History[]
The model of the Stadium Car remained unchanged until the 2016 release of Trackmania Turbo. In Trackmania2: Stadium it was given a different engine sound.
