News: So in the news this week we have some interesting developments. Firstly Michael Fried has extended his bounties for WR’s and Luca has come up with an interesting bounty for beating the current WR on RR. You can find how to make money playing MKSC on the message boards . Speaking of which, its come to light that some people have some issues they want to air, if you have any questions or suggestions for the site you can either post them on the message board or contact Luca or myself directly through pm or email. I would like to also mention that we are expanding the team on the MKSC site and I will give more details of that in next weeks update. Players: Alencar Faria #9 – A good week from the Brazilian #1 as he tries to edge closer to Matt – sadly Matt had a better week but Alencar is putting some distance between himself and Martin. He worked on YD and in the end got double prs of 1'08"95 and 0’19"31. Matt Ellis #8 – Matt came back this week and made some hefty prs. He is currently mid way sandwiched between Seb and Alencar. I wonder if he’ll be going up or down?! One of his best runs was on RP 3lap 1'02'68 but he also got double prs on RR (due to the cash incentive?!) RR 0'39'31 3lap + 0'10'60 flap. Robert Szabo #31 – This week Robert edges closer and closer to passing Tom and has quite a few wins on him. He made double prs on BC2 and also has pr’d on RR: 0’51"56 + 0’11"75 – I imagine a few inactive people will lose points on RR on the coming weeks! Robin Usher #51 – A good av fin cut from Robin this week means that he I right on the heels of Canadian Dave Phaneuf. If he makes more prs like this week then he’ll sail up places. Prs included CL 3lap, SW 3lap and flap and double prs on LP. Daniel Pabst #21 – Daniel sits just outside of the top 20 (Karel! Tut tut tut! j/k) and is close to breaking in. He can take advantage of Tylers inactivity next week and maybe pass him. He hit a great flap on RDP1 0’10"02 and a nice RKB1 5lap 0’48"90. Kevin Black #19 – Another week another couple of prs. Kevin is in touching distance of Yanus who didn’t play this week. He will no doubt pass him next week if he makes some prs. He drove RKB2 5lap 0'46"88 + 0'06"71 flap. Karel van Duijvenboden #11 - It was inevitable! You don’t become number #’1 and #2 in SMK without killer skills and next level gaming. He has transferred his touch to MKSC and started hitting some superb times. His RRR wr is sick and there is a lot more to come from Karel. The expectation are high! The top 3 should be worried  Alvaro Fababu #70 – Alvaro improved on his times this week and we look forwards to seeing how high he can go as the relative unknown! Not surprisingly he manged to pr on most courses. Daniel Sampson #63 – Daniel made some great comeback prs this week and can pass Bo if he puts in a second performance again this week. The focus of the comeback was largely his flaps where he hit some great prs, pick of the bunch was BP flap 0’22"10. New players: Julien Cloutier-Brassard from Longueuil in Canada joins us with a full timesheet in his first week. Kevin Booth, USA – Kevin shouldn’t really need an introduction as he’s a karting veteran. He’s the CEO of Mariokart 64 and overall a great car as well as an accomplished karter. Glad to have you onboard. PR’s might be a tad easier than on mk64 with the new strats we have. Lenny Andreev joins us from Australia POW: This weeks POW goes to Matt Ellis for his set of prs but Karel also deserves recognition for his achievements. |
