For this track, I wanted to make a Highway 35 style track that would borrow ideas from both acceleracers and HW35. It was not my intention to make a faithful copy of any realms or movie tracks. Unfortunately there are too many limitations in the current trackmania engine for something like that to be successful (with the exception of the cliffside realm which is a little more normal than the other tracks :P). The result is a track that is pretty fun to drive and it is longer than the cliffside realm (therefore also more fun!). Finally, as the track's name suggests this is only Vol 1 of more that will come in the future ;)
In a few days I will upload another video with my personal best time driving around the map in third person perspective.
Overall it took me 40-50 hours in total to make the track, import it into the game, test it, adjust various problems that emerged when I actually tried to drive on it, record a replay with each car, animate the cameras and render and edit the final video. I do all my work on a 500 dollar laptop which almost exploded during the rendering phase xD.
Special thanks to Dashie from the HW discord for letting me use his track textures.
