You'll have to join one of the channels that's live constantly.

TrackMania used to have a demo where you could play each environment for 1 hour that reset after 24 hours. Now, thanks to Jewbisoft, this has been done away with and replaced with the mediocre Channel system that runs on a schedule of sorts, and you can only play the environment that happens to be hosted at the time. It's an awful system that borderlines false advertising, since the Steam store page implies you can play a demo whenever you want.

Me too. I was going to buy Canyon because it's 50% off, but if I have to use this garbage system, then I'm not gonna buy it.
