there are seven "environments" including
Stadium (more of an F1 racing theme)
Desert (American-car racing in the grand canyon)
Island (sports car super fast coastal theme)
Bay (island, only with a city)
Coast (drift theme)
Rally (rally)
Snow (china themed 4-wheeling rally)
each environment has its own special parts so you wont find very much "repetitive-ness"
the game is also extremely customizable
Player-made cars: http://trackmania-carpark.com/
Player-made tracks: http://united.tm-exchange.com/
There is also a free demo on steam, as well as the actual game.
The one downside I can think of, is that a majority of the community is european.
Also, there are many modes such as race, platform, puzzle, and stunt, which are all pretty good
RACE: Always ghost on and based on lap times, not placements unless you're using a special mini-mode
PLATFORM: complete the track ASAP without falling off
PUZZLE: complete a track with limited parts, and finish the track in a limited time
STUNT: do crazy stunts
also all of the TMUF things are compatible with TMNF so long as its in the stadium environment
FREE VERSION: (demo, if you will)
Trackmania Nations Forever (also on STEAM)
only gets the stadium environment
doesn't get to add custom cameras and decals to tracks in-game
others can't see your car skins/models
don't get the in-game manialink browser that lets you download stuff in-game
only gets race mode

I love it, with it's awesome and easy to use sandbox feature...AND you can put more cars yourself which is really cool. Play in user made maps, change your paint job on ANY car, what else can you ask for?! Flamethrowers?!!
