Free TM Sunrise expansion

Apparently it's "eXtreme".

TrackMania Sunrise fans can look forward to a freely downloadable expansion pack this winter featuring new track pieces and various other additions, publisher Digital Jesters said this week.

A trailer for the pack, rather worryingly dubbed "TrackMania Sunrise eXtreme", has already started circulating, and the initial reaction has been comparisons to games like F-Zero and Rollcage, with one forum-goer claiming to have been reminded of Terminal Velocity.

We're big fans of TrackMania Sunrise, which took its predecessor's idea of letting players build their own tracks and race them and spun it into several new game modes, several of which were almost good enough to overshadow the central build-your-own-track idea.

We'll let you know when we hear any more about eXtreme, and in the meantime we'd suggest you seek out the demo if you haven't played the game already.
