| Movement PRB #2 Abel Marques is really making a charge for that top spot, so champion Thomas Bolton should watch his back. Abel cranked out a 0.2812 AF cut, which is pretty strong at the sub-4 AF level. This brought Abel within 0.6 AF of Thomas, as he tries to bring all of his times into the top five. On the unimportant Non-PRB charts, he made a huge 1.1875 AF cut from beating down weak times, and moved up two spots over #7 Alibis van Deaf and #8 Giulio Centrone. More weeks like this can push him towards the top five here, and a championship on the PRB charts. Ahead of Abel in Non-PRB is #3 Dylan Gaunt, who passes #4 David Roldan and gains a bit of a cushion with a 0.3125 AF cut. He seems to focus more on these charts, and can maybe make a run to #2 Ben Stoneman one day, which would also make him Australian champion. #18 Sawara gained a spot this week by passing the special one; two PRs to make a 0.7031 AF cut leave him also dangerously close to #17 Nicolas Barco. In the process, he became Myth B overall, and he has moved along steadily in his first month on the charts. Right behind him as always is #21 Simon Levy, making a 0.5156 AF cut to move closer and closer to the to twenty which he desires so much. Also vying for a possible top twenty spot, #23 Dallas Wilde made a 0.6875 AF cut, although stays put in his spot. He has a lot of ground to cover in order to catch Simon and beyond, but he has the potential to do so as long as he's active. #30 Pol Gonazlez sent in some old forgotten PRs, which were enough to give him a 0.3437 AF cut. He doesn't pass anyone, but that same cut can have him jump three spots if he's able to do it again. In the same area, #39 Stefan Mayr slowed down a bit this week with just an AF cut of 0.5000. He had a great month at least, so this bit of a break is well-deserved. Hopefully his break prolongs so he doesn't pass me... Finally we have #93 Mickael Smolen all the way down. Just a small 0.2960 AF cut from him, as he's been busy destroying everyone in SMK recently, top fifty in just a few weeks! Movement outside the top 100 included #114 Alex Frasca -3.1250, #141 Leonelli Wilker -0.2970, #197 Alex Malone -12.8910, #198 Troy Dunbeck -2.3120, #214 Tom Mannings -6.7650, #215 Nicholas Harvey -0.5780 and #498 Andrew Tram -2.1100. New Records There was no WR's improved (blue) but one non-prb time (pink). Although it's not completely a world record, it's the first record we've had in a few weeks now. Abel decided to take a stab at MC flap, held by fellow UK karter Lewis Benny. In the end, he prevailed with a time of 29"336, which beats Lewis' time by "06. He wants to try for 29"2, so maybe we will see him beat this record again for the next news update. Awards This week's POW was pretty easy if you just look at the stats. This karter had the highest cuts of the week, more than double anyone for that matter. Although his cuts came from weak ranked times, nobody else did much to grab the award for themselves. Anyway, he also hit a nice record, so that only makes his week look that much better. Anyway since you already know who it is, for a great week and jumping up the ladder, Abel Marques wins the POW for the fourth week of June! There was actually a good amount of activity this month, but not necessarily strong activity. One player did seem to stand out though, cutting nearly 25% of his AF from a moderately-high ranking. He has rose through the Titan rankings nicely, and his constant activity is really starting to pay off. For great movement up the charts and emerging as a outstanding karter, Stefan Mayr wins the POM for the month of June! POQ TBD! ~Kmacc |
