Trackmania is always a game about repeating a run until it lives in your fingers, but it’s certainly a lot easier to be sure of that when you can see. And that’s even more impressive to me than the more-common blindfolded runs of 2D platformers. Technically Wirtual’s Trackmania section is on the schedule a bonus game, so folks will need to donate enough for it to happen but GDQ viewers are always generous. The pageantry and good times have seen past GDQ events raise over $31 million (about £22m) in total for several charities. Summer Games Done Quick will this year benefit an old favourite, Doctors Without Borders.

Summer Games Done Quick will run July 4-11th. It streams liveon Twitchthen individual runs are usually soon split into videoson YouTube.
