The Heftrick is an advanced driving technique used in TrackMania Nations Forever, primarily on tracks featuring 200% speed boosters. Named after the player Hefest, this maneuver allows players to optimize their speed by strategically avoiding lower-tier speed boosts.
In Trackmania, players encounter various speed boosters that provide different levels of acceleration: 100%, 150%, and 200%. The Heftrick involves driving along the border of the road to skip the 100% and 150% boosters, allowing players to directly access the more powerful 200% booster. This is crucial because the lower-tier boosts can actually slow down the player's vehicle when transitioning to the higher boost.
To successfully perform the Heftrick, players must carefully steer along the edge of the road without making contact to bypass the 100% and 150% boosters while maintaining speed. Afterward, they should transition smoothly to the 200% booster and then return to the road border, ensuring they do not hit it.
