How TrackMania Sunrise Coincidentally Inspired Carview, Decades Later

July 6, 2025

TrackMania Sunrise was a game that was released in 2005, and we played it back when it first released! The important aspect of this game is not the racing—but the views that accompany the racing. The game had breathtaking sceneries that to today's standards, are still considered awe-inspiring in our eyes. We even revisited the game this year and now we have it downloaded back on our desktop!

Here's a very quick snippet of what the TrackMania Sunrise gameplay looked like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uh_gsCCAsI

It's very dream-like and deeply immersive when you're playing it. Decades later, the founder found himself coincidentally doing this in real life! Except without the speeding, and racing of course... in fact, much the opposite! We drive and enjoy the mood, put on podcasts and audiobooks, see scenery, staying grounded to a culturally rich city, etc.

Leisure Driving had become so much fun, also because when the founder was young he used to drive around beautiful forests by renting small golf-like cars. It's brought so much happiness to our life that we are very innately-content people here at Carview. Now we're excited to share this for our renters, and change the way they see driving, by experiencing beauty, soul, awe, like never before.
