| 29 April 2008: "Wii won't rock you" |
|---|
| Welcome to the news update. This is my first update for the site, and I must say it's pretty different than the other site. Alex always puts a lot of statistics in the update, and I'm not used to do that. Still, it's a new challenge, so I'll try it. I'm also used to the group posts to make news, but Alex told me to look at the players lists, so I will. And last but not least: I'll write about everybody, not just players with a lot of pr's. Not that that happened this week' Movement No activity in the top 80. #82 Andrew Johnson almost cut 3 points with 4 pr's, which is pretty amazing for his rank. He's extremely close to Titan level and will reach that milestone next week if he continues like this. #174 Andrew Howes, the #1 in the rivalry, cut 12 points, passing 17 places. Not bad! He's the #31 of the USA at the moment, with Shane and Derek not far away. A bit behind him, #182 Leonardo Cavali cut almost 6 points, and follows Andrew. The #3 of Brazil needs 30 points to pass the #2 of Brazil. Will he make it before he's going to play MKWii? #213 Liam Stanton got 3 pr's this week, saying that he isn't in the karting mood. I can understand that with MKWii... #226 Paulo Roberto Presotto managed to cut times at WS and YC. His times are all around the #140 spot except DKM-RR, so if he finishes this good pr run, he'll shoot into the top 150. #233 Vincent Chen got his best pr so far at Baby Park: 1'06"493. He also got a new f-lap there. #254 Ian Gee is still just outside the top 250, but with his pace, he'll be placed inside the top 200 within a few weeks. He's almost Expert B now. #282 Ben Davis made one of the biggest cuts this week. He cut 26 points and became an expert! Also important: He scored his first top-200 time: 3'05"148 at Rainbow Road. One Dutchie active this week, but I'm glad to say it's a good one! #498 Bram Reitsma made an impressive 55 pt cut, twice as much as the second largest cut this week! I think the crazy Dutchie virus is coming back to our site. Good to see that, because the last two crazy Dutchies (Marijn and I) are playing MKWii at the moment. He shot into the top 500 with ease, reached advanced level and has potential to cut a lot more! On the lowest part of the rankings, #595 David Smith is close to pass the 10 min-barrier on f-laps. He became Intermediate B, cut 4 points after some records at LC, and passed into the top 600. That was it, I'm afraid! New Records No new records this week. New Players Jordan Nguyen, USA (528, Beg D). Only BP pr's so far. |
