Does Trackmania United have absurd track unlock requirements like in Trackmania Nations?

[Andy]

In Nations there would be absurd requirements to unlock some of the tracks in the game, like "recommend the game to a friend" or "have a buddy in your buddy list whom you had invited to the game via e-mail". The game asks players to turn into advertisers in order for them to complete the game, which really rubs me the wrong way. The latter requirement also requires you to input another e-mail into the game.

I kinda understand that they need desperately new players since Trackmania Nations is a free to play game, but this is going into the gray area and I really hope I can unlock tracks via traditional methods since I pay 20 euros for Trackmania United...

I've played every Trackmania available on Steam and only free to play Nations has that weird system of unlocking tracks. Every other game has traditional system of progress, so don't worry :)

Thank you. Since you're familiar to both Nations and United, I'm asking you politely to take a look to another question I have about the game. It's right next to this thread in the discussion forum. Thanks for helping me out! :)
