I was playing Race Driver: GRID the other day... Great game. And what really took my attention was the ability to go back a few seconds if you messed up during the race. After playing GRID i went back to TMUF, and thought how useful this flashback- feature would be in TrackMania.

Now, this suggestion may have already been asked for, but i think you guys know what i want

Never Just think you are on a race and make a mistake and then simply turn back the time? This would suck so much, because then you would penalise players which drove safe to prevent mistakes.

Totally agree to tcq. In TM it just makes no sense.
The maps are too short for this feature.
It is not possible on servers.
Also you don't loose anything in the offline mode if you crash. You can just take a new try. There are endless of tries. So it's bullshit

lol u never played RPG or Trial? xD

but i dont like the idea too, with this feature it losemuch fun and its no skill to drive a map on best way

But, say, if you used flashback, your record wouldn't be registered to the board nor would you win any medals.

Then it's useless anyway

But it's fun! Aren't videogames supposed to be fun?

Sure they are, but if a feature doesn't fit to the game it won't be fun

What comes to my mind as well, is that it doesn't really work. You can easily drive through a cp, use the flashback and then drive a different route. So you can take shorter ways or even cut!!

Well, that counts for respawn too.
