PAL Activity:

#71 Freek van der Steen has had Ghost Valley 3 on the mind all week as he worked on a nice pair of Non-NBT PRs there. His average finish cut was good also for this track, bringing him just short of UK Non-NBT veteran, Dan Hooper on the PAL Rankings.

#108 Alexander Walz of Germany set 17 more PRs this week and pushed through to now just 8 ranks short of the Top 100. It would be great to see him reach this goal as he has the pace to do so. This week platform jumps on GV1 & 3 were happening and more refined Non-NBT techniques across the tracks.

NTSC Activity:

#3 Guilherme Arantes, the Brazilian Time Trial Champion reached a nice barrier this week going sub 11 seconds on Mario Circuit 1 fastlap.

#4 Guillaume Leviach made 2 very nice PRs, firstly a cut to his weaker MC2 PR for a French record there and then a decent lap time improvement on Choco Island 2.

#6 Sami Cetin didn't stop when Mario Circuit 1 was the next venue of action. Along with some Non-NBT shenanigans on the Forum, he pulled out a pair on NBT PRs including sub 57" and sub 11" seconds respectively. Then some PRs for MC2 and BC3 to bring him ahead of Florent on the NTSC rankings.

#20 Raul Henrique is progressing very well on Donut Plains 3 and pushing the course time down towards the 1'14" barrier; there is more room to cut the fastlap so hopefully he will try this soon also.

#168 Tommy Steimel of USA has made some good PRs for the Mario Circuit tracks, with main focus on Mario Circuit 1. Woith further improvements to the fastlap he could push that down to the 1'00"s and cut a lot off the other tracks.

#237 Christophe Tremblay has tested out courses that have a variety of terrain. However this has not slowed any PRs down as his latest times have earned him a -6 average finish cut resulting in a gain in some ranks including ahead of Mexican Time Trial Champion, Guillen.

Raul Henrique has broken the Donut Plains 1 fastlap World Record with 0'13"34.

PAL Activity:

#54 Alexandre Burel, the Plug and Play Team Champion returned this week with a couple of NBT PRs for Mario Circuit 1.

#116 Alexander Walz of Germany has been continuing his rampage and unleashing his potential on a lot of tracks with the latest wave of PRs. He is heading fast up to the Top 100 on PAL and now stands at 12th place in Germany on PAL Time Trials.

NTSC Activity:

#4 Guillaume Leviach returned this week with a pair of very strong Donut Plains 3 NBT PRs for NTSC, in particular the 2nd place time/French Record for the fastlap. A rival soon after attacked the same course.

#7 Sami Cetin improved some of his Star Cup times this week including good NBT work of MC4 and some attempts on Bowser Castle 3 which are coming along nicely. He has passed Alencar Faria for another rank higher on NTSC.

#20 Raul Henrique decided to attack further on Donut Plains 3 to answer the challenge of Leviach. Although he was not able to focus on the fastlap strat yet, his course time was looking very strong.

#48 Ben Allen had a mini session on NTSC this week to set some quick PRs on a few weaker times. Within a short space of time a nice average finish cut happened placing him further within the Top 50 in the World on NTSC; passing Drew Blumfield and also Colombian SMK Champion Juan Arevalo.

#51 Chris Morton is now after Drew's rank with his latest times on Bowser Castle 3. He has potential there for a sub 1'30" course time following a good couple of PRs.

#244 Christophe Tremblay is improving his driving techniques and is looking to continue several more PRs over the next weeks. This week he scattered some PRs amongst Flower, Star and Special cups with a focus again on Mushroom cup including Mario Circuit 1 which is shifting towards the 1'02"00 barrier.

Karel van Duijvenboden makes a couple of PAL World Records this week; Ghost Valley 2 fastlap 0'11"78 and Mario Circuit 3 fastlap 0'17"15.

Movement

PAL Activity:

#2 Karel van Duijvenboden is continuing his PAL Time Trial efforts with two new World Records this week. Firstly a nice Ghost Valley 2 fastlap going under 11"80, then later on a new sharp World Record for Mario Circuit 3 fastlap.

#4 Matthias Boucher cuts a small amount again on the Vanilla Lake 2 fastlap.

#71 Freek van der Steen sets a small P+R cut for Ghost Valley 3 fastlap Non-NBT and maintains his rank.

#122 Euan Johnston has had a great week with 13 PRs that have gained him a lead of Graeme and Alasdair to become the new Super Mario Kart Time Trial Champion of Scotland. He has also reached 19th in the UK and sets his target on next goals; 40/40 Scotland Records and to reach the Top 100 of the World in PAL.

#144 Alexander Walz also made impressive progress in the past week with another re-write of almost all of his times. With a pace like this he could be into the Top 100 of PAL sooner than we think. Key courses like Mario Circuit 1 have gone sub 1'03" and there is a lot of room left for improvement judging by some laps. He has also risen to 14th Place in Germany on Time Trials.

NTSC Activity:

#8 Sami Cetin is leading the NTSC pack this week with some great Vanilla Lake action so far. VL2 went generally well with some hard route island jumping going on, except for some slowdown preventing an even faster time. VL1 strategy took some time to get used to but he has gone sub 49 seconds there.

#20 Raul Henrique promised us he would leave DP1 destruction alone... but not for the fastlap! He is working onthe tehcniques there and has produced a very strong lap, almost a World Record.

#51 Chris Morton drove 3 new PRs on Star and Special Cups and shaves the average finish score down a bit further towards the Top 50 of NTSC Time Trials.

#181 Hunter Koch of USA made a couple of Non-NBT PRs, Vanilla Lake 1 is going well with plenty of room for improvement and a solid pair of times on Rainbow Road. He should be able to reach under the 1'30" barrier there with the next PRs.

#262 Christophe Tremblay of Canada is systematically improving times across the boards from Mushroom Cup downwards and is making nice progress as he passes a good 10+ karters on the ranking. Keep on Karting!

Ha Nyan takes ownership of NTSC World Record on Vanilla Lake 2 5-lap at 0'46"48.

Raul Henrique lowered yet again his NTSC World Record on Donut Plains 1 5-lap to 1'07"96.

Guilherme Arantes takes the Choco Island 1 fastlap World Record of NTSC with 0'10"11.

Movement

PAL Activity:

#2 Karel van Duijvenboden had his first 4/5 hit on Ghost Valley 2 PAL which was great but the consistency was a little off. He will return here there with some stronger results soon, and a fastlap is maybe on the horizon.

#4 Matthias Boucher maintains his rank with a small VL2 lap PR.

#30 Florian Chollet chips away some more on Donut Plains 1 with a couple of nice NBT PRs.

#177 Alexander Walz has been very motivated this week working on each PR to lower his times from his intial submission. So far he has climbed well into the Top 200 with potential for more in the next weeks. He has also reached #25 in Germany.

NTSC Activity:

#3 Guilherme Arantes, the Time Trial Champion of Brazil has delivered a new lap World Record for Choco Island 1 fastlap. He also claims potential for a little further, crazy as it sounds!

#8 Sami Cetin had a nice week after passing Germany, Canada and Japan's Time Trial Champions and landing in the Top 10 in one swoop. Some PRs on Donut Plains 2 did the job well along with a couple of Vanilla Lake 2 efforts that weren't a great success but provided a few points.

#15 Ha Nyan of Japan took a World Record for himself this week with the Vanilla Lake 2 5-lap he drove which went 1/3 of a second faster than the previous. A great effort to jump all the ice sections with precision.

#20 Raul Henrique, the DP1 Legend... we told him to move to another track but he still has more to do there for this year. A great new World Record came out after the 0.03 cut and he sets his sights on the next tracks.

#23 Simon Laflamme this week attacked a few of his Non-NBT PRs for Koopa Beach 1 and defends his current rank.

#51 Chris Morton is making some nice hits on Vanilla Lake 2 and a small PR on Vanilla Lake 1 lap as he continues to make his gain towards the top 50 on NTSC.

#276 Christophe Tremblay of Canada has been back into SMK and working on the strategies well for some of the early tracks as he cuts a good number off the average finish. His result in the climb also moved him ahead of Bautiste to 55th Place in Canada.

Tyler Worley pushed his Koopa Beach 1 NTSC World Record down to 0'45"83 and then a Koopa Beach 2 fastlap of 0'10"09.

Movement

PAL Activity:

#4 Matthias Boucher drove a couple of PRs this week, smaller cuts on CI1 with some flatboosting at the end; and a VL2 PR with some well timed island jumps, but defending his rank well.

#30 Florian Chollet drives a new NBT PR for Donut Plains 1 with potential left for more.

#71 Freek van der Steen was working on some Ghost Valley 3 this week and landed a new lap PR which earned him another rank on the PAL ladder.

NTSC Activity:

#11 Sami Cetin and his stubborn act to improve further on KB1 didn't get him too far, particularly for the lap, although some decent cuts were made.

#17 Tyler Worley, the man with the shortest Time Trial World Record on the site, for Koopa Beach 1 has just lowered it another notch further down. And just when we thought that was enough craziness, he has also taken the lap World Record for Koopa Beach 2, slipping under the 10"10 barrier.

#20 Raul Henrique is improving a couple of different tracks; namely DP3 and KB2 where there is plenty of room and we look forward to see some great new times there soon.

#23 Simon Laflamme, the Non-NBT Champion of NTSC and one of Canada's fastest overall karters made a little Non-NBT work of BC1 after a recent motivation from rivals there. Great to see Simon active and hopefully some more PRs in the near future.

#28 Dan Hoernemann, the Minnesota State Champion in USA returned this week to SMK time trials and begins his efforts with a nice 5/5 platform jump NBT Ghost Valley 1 PR.

#181 Hunter Koch has also made a suprise appearance this week to revamp some of his times. Flower Cup was a good place to start and some Mario Circuit 1 where he approaches the 1'02"00 barrier.

No new World Records this week...

Movement

PAL Activity:

#2 Karel van Duijvenboden made a little return to PAL this week and a fastlap PR on Ghost Valley 2. A tough fastlap strat to start on but nice progress so far.

#30 Florian Chollet drove a pair of Vanilla Lake 1 times and is extending his overall lead from Bertrand.

#55 Alexandre Burel, the Champion of the Plug n' Play Team within France returned to SMK this week also. His times were on CI1 with some NBT. This has helped to gain a rank ahead of the former PAL TT World Champion of the mid/late 90s, Edwin Peeters.

#72 Freek van der Steen prolongs his work on Koopa Beach 2 with some much better results. However he is not yet maxed out there so he could be back to KB2 for more. Unless some other tracks and average finish points are calling...

#129 Euan Johnston has gained a couple of more ranks on the PAL ladder this week with PRs on some Mushroom Cup tracks and CI1 afterwards. He has plenty more potential on fastlaps there and other courses.

NTSC Activity:

#11 Sami Cetin drove a few more NTSC PRs on Choco Island 1 including a tight enough lap. Koopa Beach 1 followed with some quick NBT work although nothing too extravagent yet. Perhaps with time and patience some better results will present themself.

#15 Ha Nyan drove 5 new PRs improving small cuts on some tracks he has not worked on for a while. His Rainbow Road 5-lap was the main highlight and there is definitely room to make a sharper record there.

#34 Akita Sounori of Japan returned this week with 6 surprise PRs. His BC1 was a nice achievement made with Non-NBT; Mario Circuit 1 and Donut Plains 3 are coming along nicely, with more potential. He is reaching closer to Japan's 4th place rank, held by Masakazu.

#51 Chris Morton of USA also comes back into Time Trial action with a few PRs on Koopa Beach 2 and Rainbow Road, passing a few players on the way. The Top 50 of NTSC is now only a rank away.

New World Records

Florent Lecoanet drove some great PAL World Records at Vanilla Lake 1 with 0'48"95 and a fastlap with 0'09"57 then a World Record on Ghost Valley 2 fastlap 0'11"80.

Raul Henrique hit an amazing NTSC 5-lap World Record barrier at Donut Plains 1 with 1'07"99.

Movement

PAL Activity:

#3 Florent Lecoanet made a great new barrier on PAL going sub 49 seconds with NBT on Vanilla Lake 1, following up with a fastlap World Record and a new lap also for Ghost Valley 2!

#30 Florian Chollet made a tiny cut for Vanilla Lake 1 lap Non-NBT this week and defends his position.

#72 Freek van der Steen of the Dutch Team NL returns this week after attacking one of his previous tracks he was battling on. Koopa Beach 2 goes into sub 1'05" with potential for more. With other PRs he can certainly cut a volume of average finish.

#131 Euan Johnston made his return to SMK this week also. He is currently the 3rd fastest Time Trial player in Scotland and is well on his way to reaching the title there. 5 quick PRs were driven this week and he has gained another good chunk off his average finish. It won't be long before he reaches his goal, then he can set his sights on the Top 100.

NTSC Activity:

#11 Sami Cetin stayed on Choco Island 1 during a brief session this week making a couple of PRs along the way.

#20 Raul Henrique made some great achievements this week. If Guillaume's CI1 and Florent's VL1 are not already exciting enough; Raul has just broken the 1'08" barrier on Donut Plains 1 with a new World Record there. A few other PRs followed. If Raul continues the same efforts on other courses this can greatly improve his average finish score and thus gain him more ranks.

#170 Brian German of USA drives another PR for Mario Circuit 1, opening up a bit more potential towards the 1'00" barrier. However like Raul he has some great potential on other courses and will climb far when the PRs flow on for those. Keep up the great karting!
