List of Cameras

TrackMania as a game has 11 main cameras. Each camera provides a different view of ones vehicle. Players have used these cameras to their advantages multiple times, whether to see more things in front of them, or to just play casually.

Cam 1
Cam 1 is positioned behind and a bit up from the player. Statistics have shown that 43% of players play with Cam 1 to this day, as it provides a better view of whats in front of the player, which many people use as an advantage to finish hard maps on the first try.

Cam 2
Cam 2 is positioned fully behind the player, in which the cars spoiler takes around 30% of the view. Even though this might seem ridiculous, a lot of players play with this camera as it is the default camera when you start up the game for the first time.

Cam 3
Cam 3 is practically the first-person view that one might see in any sort of game they play such as "Grand Theft Auto" or "Virtual Skipper". Fun Fact, a lot of Technical players such as Sonic13 use this camera. Do not get afraid however, as most people think that their car has disappeared once they access Cam 3.

Cam 4
Cam 4 is pretty much a closer version of Cam 2, being positioned directly behind the drivers head. This camera is not often used as people have gotten used to Cam 2 since it provides a better view of what's ahead.

Cam 5
Cam 5 is positioned right above the player in a helicopter-like view. Even though this camera is not that popular nowadays, it was commonly used back in 2006 on the very first LoL maps. The reason for the cameras highly unpopular culture is that the player can see practically nothing when a map has a roof over the actual course.

Cam 6
Cam 6 stands is a side-view of the players car and is practically not used at all by anyone. The exact reason why this camera even exists in the game is unknown, although some sources say Nadeo used the camera while debugging the skins hitboxes.

Cam 7 & 8
Cam 7 & 8 are both free-roam cams. These cameras allow players to go around the map wherever they want, even outside of the stadium, and into the void! A lot of people have however noted that going into the void is actually not a task worth achieving, as there is absolutely nothing down there. Again, nothing was discovered and no one should venture below the maps limits.

Cam 9
Cam 9 is a camera that's supported exclusively on VR headsets. This camera allows the player to view the complete inside of the cockpit of the car, and even allows them to push buttons on the steering wheel, such as the nitro button.

Cam 10
Cam 10 is positioned on roughly X: 225, Y: 105, Z: -35, giving players the point of view of the flag poles on the edges of the stadium. Many players used this for cinematic purposes as to not waste much time with the mediatracker. It is accessible by pressing the F10 key.

Cam 11
Cam 11 is accessible by pressing the PageUp+LCTRL+RAlt+PrintScreen keys. This however might not always work, and holding Space is sometimes also necessary. As no player has ever successfully pressed this key combination, it is currently unknown what position this camera stands at, but the Brain team is still trying to find out to this day.
