why do you think it's necessary?

Yes , why you need to know ?

I play on a lot of servers and I see those cars everywhere.
I took the cars from cach folder and saved them in stadium car folder.
And there it was , the heineken car.

Just believe me , they are everywhere.

All I read from you guys is "it is there", but still you did not bring any proof.

I was asking for the servers to find out if it is rather a P2P sevice manipulation, or if it is only a custom skin, and how did it get there.

Is it that skin? http://www.trackmania-carpark.com/skin.php?id=5007

Does the cached skin has a identification file in the zip? Like a readme that points to the ManiaPark skin?

I just cleaned my stadium map so all files are gone.
I promisse you that I see the car again I post here a picture.

And the pic. you showed me is not the car. ( looks awesome btw )

Ok
Today I went to Trackmania 10years servers with 50+ players, but none had such a ad like skin.

Maybe try a non demo server. Not sure if those free players can exchange skins.

they can't even get to profile page.

Here's the skin (found it from cache):

I'll try to provide screenshots if it appears again.

Demo players cannot, but there are often also regular players, some had a typical Nations skin, and some had own skins.
I just went to the most populated server that time, but I can't check all the servers all the time

Would be great, and thanks for the skin!
As "expected", the skin shows absolutely no creator information

Interesting.. I also found the skin in my cache folder.

There is a bmp file inside, basically a duplicate of the Diffuse.dss dated back to Nov 2010. But this skin was created in April 2013. Maybe a copy from TM1

All just speculation, I guess. But it's a mystery atm.
