StadiumA4 is a track in TrackMania United Forever, set in the Stadium environment. The layout consists of a ramp jump, an uphill section leading into a checkpoint, followed by a U-turn, and a smooth slope that rises and falls toward the finish.
World Record History[edit]
The world record strategy on StadiumA4 is defined by a series of small but important optimizations. For the opening ramp jump, players perform a brief release to control airtime. On the uphill, a left-right steering input is used to stabilize the car and maintain speed, with an airbrake commonly applied to improve ground contact and acceleration.
The most important optimization, however, is the use of a rammbug. By deliberately driving over the rammstein, players lift the front of the car and force it into a nosedive into the slope, allowing earlier and stronger acceleration. This technique fundamentally redefined the competitive route on the track.
World record times prior to the discovery and consistent use of the rammstein are difficult to precisely document, but they are generally estimated to be in the mid 20.80 range.
The current world record is held by AYNYXAMER, who achieved a time of 20.61 on 26 February 2025.

Tool-Assisted Speedruns[edit]
Earlier TAS runs closely mirrored the real-time world record strategy. More recent TAS work introduced a new approach to the uphill section. Instead of following the road, the TAS goes off-road and takes the uphill via an overwall route, bypassing part of the intended path.
This strategy resulted in a TAS time of 20.17, achieved by cj5716, representing a significant improvement over the RTA world record.
