Disclaimer: This is the best map I've ever made
So, 3/4 of this map is not that brand new. I first started building this map in 30 October 2012, and I would say that's quite some time! The map was originally meant for TrackMania Nations Forever, but
with Stadium 2 being released in the meantime, I took the track and continued it in that game. There was, one BIG problem.. The broken clip (wich was required for the map to be playable) has been fixed automatically
by the game, making the map lost... This problem was fixed by Voyager006, who used the Hex editor program and broken the clip again, making the map once again playable, and enabled me to continue working on it but
with a twist: I was not allowed to use the undo button 
The clip would get fixed again if I did so, making it once again unplayable. It was pretty hard for me, because I often use this function. However I left this map
untouched for a big time, but in the last three weeks, I was browsing my old maps and stumbled across this one. "Hmmmmmmmmmmmm... What if I continued it? What if I actually released it?". So then, I made the last 10 seconds of the map, added some scenery (I asked basbaas to make it, but he couldn't so I had to do it by myself^^) that I am proud of, and put a great intro. However the song for the intro doesn't work, and it won't be as atmospherical as I intentioned. I will add the link to a youtube vid with the intro including the song.
As for the map, it's a 40 second long Stadium fullspeeder, with good flow and nice transitions. They are not new, but I find them quite nice. You will be driving on a scultpure, jumping from a dirt block to a platform, and you
will finish the map upside down. The checkpoints are not respawnable, except for the final one, because the last section is hard and it would be annyoing to start over right at the end. The intro is also one of the best I've ever
made, and probably one of the most atmospherical if the song would have worked!
Here is the intro with the song included, uploaded on youtube:

Unfortunately, I forgot a lot of the people who tested this map, as it was back in Oct 2012, and a lot of people were only active in tm-exchange.
Nimrod, Osaka, Nico, tuutti and Basbaas were the latest beta-teseters. Thanks a lot to them and to the older beta-testers who helped me in the early days! Also, I want to say special thanks to
TMarc for buying TrackMania 2: Stadium for me, which helped me to do the final polishes of the map!
I can't believe, that after all these time, I actually got to release the map, I am very happy. I didn't work continously on it for two years though, but I am proud that it finally got released. It turns out to be the best map
I've ever made, and I am excited of what you will think about it.

I hope you will have as much fun playing the map, as I did when I built it!
