StadiumCar Vehicle Tunings#

It is fairly common knowledge, that the StadiumCar vehicle was created using the BayCar as a base. It's most apparent in its Vehicle Tunings file, which holds all the parameters related to the vehicle handling. These files are very interesting, because they store a list of all previous iterations of the car handling changes. (With dates!) It is also possible to modify the file to use an older set of handling parameters, meaning that it's possible to see how the StadiumCar handled in the past.

Here is a list of all vehicle tunings related to StadiumCar, including their index id and name. (Many of the other instances are for previous vehicles, like DesertCar and BayCar, so they won't be included here.)

Index	Name	Notes
16	"23septembre2005"	Final BayCar physics from TrackMania Sunrise eXtreme.
17	"22novembre2005"	First "actual" StadiumCar tunings.
18	"4decembre2005"
19	"09janvier2005"	This feels like a typo, should probably be "09decembre2005" instead.
20	"14decembre2005"	These physics were used when recording the Bench replay.
21	"10janvier2005"	For whatever reason, all the following dates have "2005" instead of "2006".
22	"11janvier2005"
23	"12janvier2005"
24	"13janvier2005"
25	"14janvier2005"
26	"15janvier2005"
27	"16janvier2005"
28	"17janvier2005"	Final StadiumCar physics.

Here is a video demonstrating all the physics presets. The video also includes all the tunings for DesertCar and BayCar, so please skip to 9:17 to see only StadiumCar.
(The video was recorded in TrackMania Nations Forever, but there are no major physics differences between TMNF and ESWC to invalidate the authenticity of the video related to this page.) Watch on YouTube
