The race for the top spots in the ranking continued throughout July for hundreds of Trackmania players around the world.
July Tournament Results
Two Grand Community Cup tournaments and one Monthly Cup were played in July. The clash redoubled between the leading trio composed of the French players Binkss, Otaaaq and the Hungarian player pusztitopako. The latter finished on the podium in all three tournaments and won two of them. Only the Polish player Mime and the German player NuPrime played the spoilsport by each finishing third in one of the two Grand Community Cups.
After all these results, Otaaaq rises to third place in the world ranking, behind the unshakeable duo pusztitopako and Binkss. We can note the good progress of the French player Holo099. Very active in July, he takes the ninth place in the world ranking.
