TrackMania: Turbo, the next installment in Ubisoft's arcade racing series, will be getting an open beta this weekend, starting at 6:00AM PT/9:00AM ET/13:00PM GMT tomorrow, 18th March, before closing on Monday 21st March at the same times. The title's been in closed beta for a few weeks now, and is only a week away from release, so you can probably consider this a final attempt by Ubisoft to drum up some hype for the game.
The beta will feature a few of the campaign tracks, as well as online play and the Trackbuilder - the main source of replayability for the game. It's also worth keeping in mind that all of your progress and created tracks will carry over to the full release, which is a nice extra.
Will you be participating in the beta? Are you planning on buying the game? Try not to make a phallic custom track in the comments section below.

Trackmania was awesome, but only for the custom tracks, the gameplay itself isn't all that. What's changed in this version?
@themcnoisy By the looks of it, they haven't changed the gameplay much, but there are a lot of modes. There are 200 campaign tracks, as well as a track editor and random track generator (which is awesome for replayability) plus co-op online mode called Double Driver where two players drive the same car, as well as 4-player splitscreen multiplayer. The developers themselves have said they want it to play like an arcade game focused on stunts, so interpret that as you will. Personally, I can't wait for this, since there aren't many driving games that have excited me on PS4 so far
Been looking forward to this since e3 and it's early preordained price is £26. I can't get it straight out the blocks though as I'm swimming in back catalogue right now, but further down the line is a definite for me.
You guys forgot to mention that TrackMania is compatible with PSVR.
I have really been looking forward to this game!
I don't see this on the NA PSN Store.
@Anchorsam_9 Don't forget that its also PSVR compatible too.
The beta isn't available just yet. Anyone know when it will be added to the store?
@BloodyBill It's not available on the UK store just yet either.
@Anchorsam_9 Neat, thanks.
@gingerfrog is that all? Man that's a great price. I may have to get involved.
Woohoo
This was the #1 reason I bought a PS4. I pre-ordered it ages ago. I expect this to be my new favorite game ever. I adore Trackmania and this one looks to be the best yet.
@Anchorsam_9 I'm definitely picking this up! Played a lot of Trackmania on the PC during school years, it's a blast.
I just wish this game had a custom music feature of some kind, the default soundtrack in this game is absolutely terrible to the point of making it unplayable for me. And at least the beta version seemed to have a glitch where it would play the music even if you had it turned off from the settings.
Extremely tempted to get this. I don't know if I'll be able to hold off, it looks like awesome fun.
Will try the beta and then decide. Not a big racing game fan.
It's 13.04 here in Ireland, no beta yet, just get a screen saying the beta is over.....
The gameplay is ok but the feature I like most is setting the region and county where you live so you can see how you rank amongst people in your county. Two things I learned the first not many people playing this in my county and that I am not the worst at this game
