Nationalistic Full Speed

Full Speed was developed in the mid 2000s as an offshoot of LoL. Due to the lack of communication between different TrackMania communities, the style began to evolve distinct characteristics in different parts of the world, particularly Europe. These styles were often affected by the community that made them, as they would have characteristics inspired by how that community felt about how to play TrackMania.
== German Full Speed ==
German Full Speed is very controlled and skill-based, with German mappers making an effort to prevent unfairness in the tracks, such as blind transitions or sections that would cause landing bugs. German players often appreciate pure skill and oppose luck-based tracks and strategies, meaning that their creators often take care to prevent any shortcuts on the tracks.
This is one of the most popular nationalistic variations of Full Speed, owing to both the popularity of TrackMania in Germany and its friendliness to newcomers; it has become increasingly popular amongst American players, for example. German Full Speed features prominently in the Professional Mode, owing to it being made due to demands from the wider German community.
In 2014, a small subgroup of Full Speed purists emerged from the community. They called their team STIHL after the German power-tool manufacturer. Their main goal was to promote German Full Speed as the only "correct" track style, sometimes going as far as doxxing and attacking prominent players in the other parts of the community. They were prosecuted for this in 2018 (one very well known member diedhttps://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=racehans during this time, it is still a mystery whether this was or was not an assassination) and today's STIHL has only very little in common with its unfortunate past.
== French Full Speed ==
French Full Speed, sometimes referred to as spunch, started to emerge with the release of TrackMania Nations Forever. This type of full speed is known for being particularly fast, as the car's speed is often maxed out. These tracks also make heavy use of the coloured boosters due to the luck factors they add in. 
French Full Speed record hunting is dominated by the team Brain, owing to their knowledge of how to get 3000% boosts from colour boosters.
== Czech Full Speed ==
Not wishing to be outdone by the Germans, many members of the Czech community united together to make a renaissance of Czech TrackMania Full Speed culture. The team born from this revival was called after the day of the week it came into being - Čtvrtkové Seskupení (Thursday gang). Neither the date nor the month were recorded, some members recall it happening "around 2013". Czech Full Speed is all about speed. This includes acceleration, velocity, momentum etc. As opposed to French Full Speed, far fewer luck-based blocks are used. Taking many elements from Nascar and incorporating them into their maps, Czech Full Speed requires much patience to overcome these endurance components.
Another important part of Czech Full Speed culture is listening to objectively bad, noise-based music such as Hardstyle, Frenchcore or Horrorcore. The fast beat-per-minute count encourages players to drive faster and more recklessly, speeding past checkpoints and speed cameras.
