8 FINALISTS, ONLY ONE CHAMPION
The Trackmania World Cup 2024, supported by Continental, promises an intense showdown between the 8 best players from the regular season and direct qualifiers.
One of the favorites is CarlJr., the last solo winner in 2022. Winner of the American regional qualifiers, the Solary player will be aiming to reclaim his crown and add a new world title to his unmatched awards.
Standing in his way is Otaaaq, the Karmine Corp player and reigning 2023 duo champion. Otaaaq will defend his title and seek a second world champion title in front of the French crowd in Paris.
Another strong contender is Binkss, one of 2024’s breakout stars. Ranked first in the TMWT 2024 world ranking, the Frenchman has displayed remarkable consistency, securing first and second places in events like the Playoffs, Encore tournament, Comic Con Baltics, and Monthly Cups.
Massa, a veteran from the German team BIG, is also among the favorites. He earned his place in the finals with a stellar performance in the Playoffs tournament.
The youngest of the finalists, Pusztitopako from the Hungarian team Into The Breach, has had a breakout season, rising to second place in the world rankings. His string of podium finishes and first-place results makes him a formidable challenger.
Epos, from the English team BLUEJAYS Sport, is a strong title contender after an outstanding 2024 season. Finishing fourth in the Playoffs, he has consistently secured podium finishes across numerous events. He also claimed victory in the XPEvo tournament, defeating some of Europe’s top players.
Pac, another Englishman, will also be vying for the title. He secured the final slot for Paris by finishing second at the XPEvo tournament. A 2023 finalist with Solary, Pac has consistently performed well, including a podium finish at the GameWard Cup Major.
Finally, Australian player Mudda will be looking to improve on his 3rd place finish in the 2023 duo event. His victory in the Rest of the World regional qualifiers and extensive experience at the highest level make him a serious competitor.
