Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Online racing game Trackmania 2 Canyon will offer a multiplayer beta to those who pre-order the game, with access available from August 17 onwards.
That's the same date that Gamescom starts, so expect to see Ubisoft tout Trackmania 2 along with Assassin's Creed: Revelations, Driver: San Francisco, and Rayman Origins.
There'll be organized tournaments for Trackmania 2 Canyon, as it's already found a place among the Electronic Sports League's roster of games.
Trackmania 2 Canyon is going to cost $24.99/£19.99, with other currencies to be announced.
Using a system that lets players run simultaneous time trials without crashing into each other, Trackmania 2 might not have the realism of PC alternatives iRacing or rFactor.
Instead, it offers loops, banks, fantasy tracks, course creation and sharing, and a swarm of vehicles joyously hurling themselves over each bump and jump.
