Matt Cawson

Matt Cawson was well known as the best racer that seemed to be unbeatable. Nobody was able to beat him and he won many trophies.

It all changed during a accident that took away his life. Many thought that the accident was planned by a jealous racer that desired to beat him once and for all.

The camera footage was altered so no one truly knew what happened. A few days later Trackmania players reported playing against a ghost car with the username of Matt Cawson. He would always beat all the records and win in races.

When a wall blocked the way to the finish line, Matt would phase through it and someone was inside him driving which is not a feature in the game.

Some came to the conclusion that he was faster than any other player and that he never bumped into walls or went off course. Not even hackers could beat him.

However he was beaten in a costume race track where there were two branching paths. The left took longer and the right was much faster. Walls were hiding the shortest way. Matt went to the longest route and the one playing against him took the fast one.

That time Matt lost. He disappeared from the game after the match, but it was far from over as a week later most players that played against him lost control of their cars. They had a mind of their own as they drove off track. It repeated Matt's last race in his living days. As it was about to end the player's car would flip in the air, and as it touched the ground it would blow up.

The game would crash as a result. The players got entwined in an accident themselves afterwards. Police thought it was because they were drunk. Before the chaos ceased other players saw a transparent figure wearing a safety race suit and mask walking over the track in front of them, frightening them. They all prayed for his soul to be freed and that was when the experiences stopped.

Matt Dawson's account was discovered by a data miner. He created 30 costume tracks when he was younger and 100% the game. His last track was the most recent and it was a recreation of his last race he'd ever been on.

No music was playing and at the end a bunch of race cars were placed as if an accident took place. Matt's car was flipped on its roof and one of the cars was red, meaning that this was the car that started it. So in conclusion it wasn't accidental; it was planned since the beginning.

The developers removed Matt's account after the discovery and replaced it with a "Rest in peace" message.
