Trackmania Summit Presented by Visa opens registrations for first online event

Ubisoft Nadeo has opened registrations for the first edition of Trackmania Summit Presented by Visa, an online competition organised by Leo “Taak” T. and Florian “Paynn” R. in collaboration with the developer and sponsored by Visa. The event is open to players from around the world and will unfold over two weekends, starting with open regional qualifiers on November 28–29 and ending with the Playoffs on December 5–6.

The announcement lays out a compact format built around open entry and regional qualification. Players can sign up for the first stage, race through their region’s qualifiers, and try to secure one of the 24 spots in the final bracket. Ubisoft Nadeo says the Playoffs will carry a €10,000 prize pool, with the title of first Trackmania Summit champion on the line as well.

Three regional qualifiers open the competition

The opening weekend is split across three regions: EMEA, the Americas, and Asia & Oceania. Ubisoft Nadeo says all players are welcome to participate, so the qualifier stage is the route into the main event for anyone hoping to reach the final weekend.

That structure keeps the early rounds broad, but the path to the Playoffs is narrow. The announcement does not list the exact number of rounds, maps or seeding rules for the qualifier stage, but it does direct players to the official Trackmania Summit Discord for the format, rules and schedule. Registration also happens through that Discord server.

The competition is being run as a global online event rather than a closed invitational, which gives it a wider entry point than many Trackmania showcase tournaments. The qualifiers will decide who earns a place in the last 24, and the regional split in the final stage shows how the organiser expects those slots to be distributed.

How the 24 Playoff spots are divided

Trackmania Summit’s Playoffs take place on December 5–6, with the top 24 players from the qualifiers advancing into the final bracket. Ubisoft Nadeo says those places will be allocated as follows:

• 16 players from EMEA
• 4 players from the Americas
• 4 players from Asia & Oceania

That means EMEA accounts for two-thirds of the Playoff field, while the Americas and Asia & Oceania each receive four slots. The final weekend will determine the winner of the first Trackmania Summit title, along with each player’s share of the €10,000 prize pool.

The format keeps the field manageable while still leaving room for international representation. With only 24 finalists, each regional qualifier matters in a direct way: the more spots a region receives, the more likely its players are to shape the closing stages of the tournament. Ubisoft Nadeo’s announcement does not mention prize distribution beyond the total pool.

Five Fall Campaign Black Tracks will form the map pool

Rather than using a broad rotation of community maps, the event will be played on five Black Tracks from Trackmania’s official Fall Campaign. Ubisoft Nadeo names the tracks as Egypt, United Kingdom, Czech Republic, India and New Zealand. Those five maps will make up the full competition pool for the Summit.

The chosen tracks point to a tight, specialist event where familiarity with the campaign’s hardest content should matter more than breadth across a large selection. Trackmania events often reward precision, repetition and fast adaptation, and a small map set gives competitors a chance to push every line and shortcut to its limit across the two weekends.

Fans who cannot take part can still follow the tournament live on the Trackmania Twitch channel. Ubisoft Nadeo also points viewers to Trackmania Esports on X for updates as the event approaches, while competitors are directed to the official Trackmania Summit Discord for registration and full event details. Registration is open now, with the first qualifiers set to begin on November 28.
