World Record History of Oach - Trackmania's Hardest Track 

I've always been proud to be the creator of a battleground that's seen so many fights and crazy improvements over the years, and now seeing its history immortalized in such a beautiful video is a great honor. Thanks to all the drivers for putting their hours into making history on my track and to you for delivering it in a fantastic way as always

"Nobody thought completing Oach was possible. But then, on the 24th of October, 2011, Tortugo got this run:" *proceeds to show the entire 30h long replay*"

How to boost a normal person: "You can do it!" How to boost a TM player: "I DOUBT IT!"

For anybody who wishes to know Current world record as of August 2022: 16:08.17 by Lane 3:16s faster than Simo's. These guys are simply legends! Also thanks igntuL & Wirtual as well, for the legendary track and the awesome video!

Great to see the history of oach immortalized in such a well made video! Truly a legendary track - I still have such vivid memories of my first run nine years ago, spending four hours on cp3... it's wild how far the trial community has come over the last decade

The feelings of seeing all those old screens and nametags are insane, great memories, thank you :)

It's pretty insane that usually when a record goes from hours to minutes it's due to the discovery of new bugs/shortcuts. These improvements were from skills alone.

Tortugo becoming Adam Kajumi has got to be one of the weirdest moments in CZ/SK Internet history.

I always wonder where do you get the replays from these historical moments. I’m feeling all childhood memories and emotions in that video. Like it was yesterday We all were hunting that map for the first finnishes. I feel like I had amazing childhood seeing this video. Thank you so much for making this documentary 🙏🏽

As an Austrian hearing you say wht should be "Oachkatztlschwoaf" is the funnuiest thing ever. Oachkatzlschwoaf is "squirrrels tail" in englisch It's a word normally used to confuse Germans with the Austrian dialect.

I like how multinational the Trackmania community is. "So an Italian created a nearly unbeatable track with an equally unpronounceable German name, then a Korean and a Czech managed to prove it completable, then a Finn and a Serb teamed up to crush the records, then a German came in like 'ahahaha how cute' and broke the one-hour mark with a sledgehammer, then..."

21:22 Nawks strat is actually really damn good for learning new tracks and improving fast, completing every single run helps you build muscle memory and learn the track way faster than resetting on every mistake in hopes of a fast run.

Wirtual: reveals Lain's time Me: flips table Wirtual: plays En Aften Ved Svanefossen Me: puts table back and sits down anxiously

The way you say the name of the map so easily is just, amazing.

I don't know how long Wirtual takes to view all of these replays, and put them into one video under 35 minutes, explaining what happened on every single replay, but it's truly amazing, the quality of his videos are amazing, and I'm so happy he's come this far. Can't wait to see him have 1M subs!

As someone from Austria, I was very delighted to see the track's name. Oachkatzlschwoaf is a german word with an Austrian dialect. In typical German, it means "Eichhörnchenschweif" and translated to English the word means "Squirrel Tail". I love this Trackmania Track just for the name alone xD

I like it that on a trial map, keeping driving forward instead of turning around to drive backwards, is considered a "trick up his sleeve".

It's an amazing thing that wirtual captures and documents these legendary hours that the players put in, which would otherwise be only a small bubble in the internet.

Wow Simo is such a legend. Coming back 10 years later to take his legacy back and bring it to a sub 20min run is just impressive. big chad moment

I love how these videos get me so into track mania even tho I don’t even play it. The mental journey he brings me on following the record over decades of time, literally so crazy to see 10/10 I love wirtuals story telling

Playing the game for over 14 years now, I've been amazed many times, but the skill shown by trackmania trial players is something I will never get bored of. The precision, car control and patience needed for the stuff shown in the video is far beyond my comprehension. Great video!

I like how this story combines drunk german engineering with czech determinism, the lunatic driving skills of the french and finnish stone cold precision.

Watched this video for the first time, went to check the records. 16:08.17 by Lane, uploaded 18.04. I'm speechless.

I mean, it's just crazy to think about a guy leading the pack by almost an hour and a half in a game that regularly disputes records by the hundredth of a second. That's probably more legendary than anything else related to this track. Drunk deserves so much credit for being such an absolute unit.

The difference in skill for Wirtual and Nawk is humongous he was hunting under a 30 minute run and wirtual didn’t even get an under 30min video

What can I say, mindblowing work like always, this is TOP notch

At first I was proud that Tortuga was a Czech player, than you revealed that it’s Adam Kajumi and the disappointment was immeasureble and my day was ruined.

here's a joke: czechpoints

Possibly your greatest World Record history video yet, Wirt! Love your content and keep up the amazing work my guy!

I have absolutely no time played in trackmania, I do not see myself ever trying, I have occasionally heard about the game but thats it. I don't even know how I discovered your channel but what I can say is you have moved me to tears with your world record documentaries more than once. The feats some people achieve are insane to me.

I like how the players who are good enough to beat this track let alone quickly, are super wholesome when their record is beaten. Almost like they are happy to see somebody pull off a faster time somehow

Once again I find myself captivated by a game I never played and speedrunning which I've never done. All due to the great narrator and story teller, Wirtual. Fair game, finally subbed. Well deserved.

as a bavarian, i have so much love for the creator of this map. We always make other germans or foreigners say Oachkatzaschwoaf as a joke that has been passed on for generations, and now this map creator made you say it too. It means squirrels tail btw.

18:13 "And you might wonder: would anyone seriously try to beat that?" **me looking at the video progress bar** _I guess there's something more to this story..._

I really love how you build up the suspense in your videos. The storytelling is truly unique and well thought out. You constantly make my jaw drop at the "critical" moments in your videos. Thank you very much, wirt.

These are the most fun and bingeable videos I’ve seen. Great content and great portrayal of info. Well done!

It weirdly feels good to know that Simo came back and got the WR.

My favorite kind of Wirtual video is the TMNF mini-docs. They are so enjoyable because they are always edited perfectly, end with a high note, and have a message at the end. Keep up the great work!

I love the style of your videos; the history, explanation, and edits all work to create a feeling on immersion in the Track Mania world. Very well done

Gratz to all the contenders and huge work done there in editing and I really enjoyed watching this video, thank you!

Man I can't even imagine the amount of adrenaline you'd get from one-shotting cp12 for the first time.

After just one minute into the video, I have to say this: Wirtual, you have my sincere appreciation for pronouncing the name of the track correctly (or at least, as correctly as one can possibly wish for). Thank you. Even many Germans mutilate the word, as it is one of the most standard words to "test" pronounciation in Bavarian dialect. Btw, I assume that the map creator might be from South Tyrol, as his account is registered as Italian and this region is bilingual Italian and German, with the dialect being closely related to southern German (say, Suevian and Bavarian) and Austrian dialects. For anyone who might wonder what the strange word means, in "high German" it would be "Eichhörnchenschweif" (the "ei" has become a very quickly spoken "oa" in Bavarian dialect). It quite simply means: "squirrel's tail". It is used to "test" so-called "native" Bavarian because of its two uses of the aforementioned, quickly spoken "oa" which doesn't exist anywhere in any northern German dialect. On the contrary, most people sound strange trying to say it, because they just don't get it said quickly enough, like two separate sounds instead of one sweeping sound changing from o to a. Now, Wirtual somehow managed to say it to near perfection despite not even being a native German speeker, much less one of Bavaian (and related) dialects. That means, he not only checked the language, he also put in the effort to get the pronounciation "wirtually" (sorry, could't let this slip...) perfect, quite probably by asking a native speeker and practicing. I really appreciate your sense for detail. "Measse!"

This is high quality stuff! I do not play track mania (and probably never will) but they way you and your editor put these world record history videos together is simply stunning. The song at the end by Beik Poel has been stuck in my head for days!

After watching a few of these, the entirety of Trackmania speedrunning history can be summed up as "but wait - there's more"

These videos always invoke such strong emotions even though my experience with the game is miniscule, and i always end up tearing up

Well, as you said: “you should never underestimate the determination of trackmania players, or now that I think about it, perhaps you should because someone stubborn enough will come along and prove you wrong” I don’t think that it is possible for any trackmania player to ever beat Final Enigma Prove me wrong

I have never played any of these games, i havent even heard about it before i was gifted One of your videos on My FrontPage in RU-vid. You are so great to listen to, like a Good Book you unfold storys to the viewers. Its captivating to say the least Thank you for not only your Time but for all runners out there doing their best to Rip the Tracks.

Love the music you went with on this one. These history lessons keep getting better

7:22 Music choice brought a smile on my face. That must be my favourite video game music of all time from the greatest videogame I've ever played. I loved wandering around Gaur Plains listening to that piece and enjoying the scenery even late into the game when there was not much to do.

Dude your story telling is just on another level. Thank you for all the work you put into the video. It's amazing to see the history of such legendary tracks.

What an amazing speedrun story. Thanks so much for the effort you took to gather all of these informations!

I don't even play TrackMania, honestly hadn't even heard of it until I stumbled upon your videos. Yet I find myself captivated by your storytelling and cheering for the outcomes (I've watched like a dozen of these now). @Wirtual You are simply the greatest storyteller on RU-vid, I'm jealous that the hobbies I'm into don't have a "you" to immortalize their stories and legends. Amazing work man.

after hearing the length of the original runs i was terrified of the prospect of hearing "and then he had this run"

From the first sentence to the last pun, your scripts are genius! Im always looking forward for new videos because of how well they are put together.

Thanks for the history lesson. the way you make these is awesome. I have never played or really heard of this game until recently. But this is awesome to watch.

This was really great. Thank you for making it! 🎉

Love it! Keep it up! I started playing trackmania because of you. I love the game so far!

"This seemed like it would be the end of oach speedruns" Famous last words of Wirtual

Legend! I love your videos so much its actually unreal. Keep up the good work brother

Happy tears over here. Incredible documentary for a non-driver. Even more incredible for a driver. So many names I've spent countless hours with over the last decade. I'm an Onicole fan boy and made me smile finally seeing what they looked like! Wirtual, this was incredible. Sincerely, SKITTLE

I LOVE these history lessons! I haven't touched Trackmania in a decade and only ever played casually but this is just so interesting and enjoyable to watch

Christ i was actually holding my breath while watching simo do the last checkpoint. Phenomenal story telling as usual lad

I really enjoy rewatching your Speedrun series and contemplating the immense pride these drivers must feel.

Love these story type videos. They're always so enjoyable. Would love it if you could make a new playlist with all of them. Having a hard time finding them in the feed. Hope to see more of them :)

I'm so happy to finished it too ! Nice vidéo Wirtual !

30:00 “and then, hefest got this run.”

I love when you do the history of certain maps. I could listen to you telling the histories of Trackmania maps all day long

I've never played Trackmania but still im waiting for your videos Wirtual!! I think that the time has come for me to start playing Trackmania. Thanks for your videos!! Keep up the good work!

I have never played this game but I really enjoy these videos , keep up the good work

This was such a great video! I loved it keep them up! and yes the trackmania community is strong and never gives up!

It's like a mini movie every time you post one of these. I don't even play TM but I love your content! Thank you for making this.

I never have or will play Trackmania, but I keep watching these videos, they're just so well-made and contain so much passion. Love it.

You came out of nowhere into the long form RU-vid content scene and are just killing it, keep it up. Glad you found such a wide audience, your content deserves it.

It's funny to me how people called Oach an impossible track back then, when nowadays totally regular people complete it for fun. The perception of difficulty changed a lot !

Wirtual, I adore your content in basically every regard, but I honestly think that your choice of music is among the top aspects, matching my feelings extremely well for 35 minutes straight!

I just got into Track Mania last week, I love these videos! Learning how insane this community is lol

The trackmania players are one of the most dedicated kind of players i've ever seen

As an Austrian the pronounciation of your Oachkatzlschowaf is funny af

I like how tracks like this, where the challenge is just finishing, still have people competing for time

man your composition is beautiful always makes me emotions go crazy

The hardest part isn't doing it flawlessly, it's saying the whole name flawlessly

NEW WR:16:08.17 by lain Pog

I never played this game, in fact, I never play any games at all... But dude, the way you make these videos, your stories, research, background information, presentation - simply outstanding. I still have no idea about the game itself and will probably won't even try, but I keep watching your videos like blockbuster movies. Well done buddy, keep it going, you are doing great service, not only for trackmania fans, but also for the entire YT community. Thank you!

man your videos are just bonkers. Really enjoy watching them with your voice

30:34 i love that overview so we can see how long the map really is

TAS, the tool which is singlehandedly revitalizing Trackmania speedrunning Massive props to Donadigo and the TASers for these achievements.

Bruh, Oach being the origin story of Nixion - the person who made Plasma - is wicked. And he was first time trying to beat it together with Simo_900, who, of course, created Final Enigma. Double wicked

Those videos might be the greatest of RU-vid, so much quality ! Ty Wirtual :)

I have never played this game but Ive been following Wirtual for over a year now. You know he's a master story teller when he can make me feel nostalgic for a game I haven't touched or even heard of 1 year ago. When the music hits, it gives me goosebumps every time.

imagine getting through to the 17th checkpoint and then giving up on accident

My favorite players in the past was definitely Tortugo. He was way ahead at in his time in this hard map. Same thing for Nixion and Simo.

Your documentary videos are why I watch you channel. Great video.

If Wirtual was a normal Trackmania player 10 years ago watching this, he probably wouldn't have believed that this was real, but it was. Great video, keep the pace up!

as a Czech i am very proud of him, finaly something good he did, he is very controversial in czech republic... it's sad

I really enjoy this kind of videos. Somehow it everytime catches me and I just cannot leave the video.

Dude, you're such a great storyteller! I don't even play Trackmania, but I really enjoy watching your videos!

Lain just took back the WR 16:08

Wirt in 2050: How Trackmania speedrunners destroyed A01 while juggling alien balls on a PS69 console with Barack Obama

Ive never played this game, and probably never will, but i am obsessed with your videos. You documentary skills are so good, it makes me become very invested in a game i know nothing about. Awesome videos. Keep it up

I have never played this game but I still find this really neat. The technical skill and dedication to it is always appreciable, no matter what the game. Well done video.
