It looks like instead they've introduced a new Alternate Reality Game (ARG) in the form of a jigsaw puzzle... to boost excitement like unto the Portal 2 ARG that happened a while back (I learned tonight that Valve has started another Portal 2 ARG with the release of their Potato Sack indie pack!)
You'll get a random piece of the TrackMania puzzle when you launch your game. Thundr and I got different pieces tonight.
You may view the ongoing compilation of the different TrackMania 2 puzzle pieces as they've been revealed on the ManiaPlanet forums.
As you can see it reveals the name of one of the new environments (and apparently the car that will go with it?) Nadeo has stated that they will be releasing environments one at a time and players can buy the ones they want to have (not sure I'll like that model, but we'll see.) I'll not spoil the reveal here, you'll have to click the link and go look at the picture for yourself.

Portal 2 will be released on steam on 19 April 2011.
I hope to have a date for TrackMania 2 VERY soon!!!
Don't waste any more time... go check out the ARGs (after you play some TrackMania with us tonight for FNG!)

By the way... that new car looks freaking awesome!
So does the new lighting system. I SOOOOOO can't wait!
I would also like to point out that the bigger, mustard-colored car, has part of its left back bumper hanging off, whereas the red car on the right does not...
Is this just a different skin, and they're teasing to make people think the game will have collision detection; or are they hinting that it will have it?
I personally enjoy the game without collision detection.
It's an interesting observation nonetheless.
Only 7 pictures left!
