New Members Welcome to... Samuel Gomez, France (NTSC 205th, France 9th, Contender D) New World Records Pierre L'Hoest pulls out a very strong lap for Bowser Castle 2 PAL, a World Record going under 19"9x barrier with 0'19"88. Movement PAL Activity: PAL Time Trial World Champion, Pierre L'Hoest focused just on one board this week but he pulled out a great effort with a new World Record time for BC2 lap. #3 Sami Cetin, UK Time Trial Champion has reached some good levels on his previously weak GV2 times after finding a good jump spot for the platform resulting in the 2nd person to go sub 1'02" on PAL and a nice lap ahead of most of the rivals. #4 Florent Lecoanet made a nice little cut for an NBT time on BC2 also, this was for 5-lap with some strong skill and consistency for the game's longest track. #11 Pierre Coste hit some PRs on CI2 and MC3, landing ahead of Gerard Roodhorst on the PAL Ranking. #14 Manuel Babjar of Germany stayed focused on CI1 this week getting some more solid work down, and breaks into the 57 seconds with some average finish improvements as a result. #23 Guillaume Leviach drove fast cuts on PAL to some DP tracks and GV1 lap, making enough average finish to defend his rank. #24 Angelo Di Vano, the Champion of Italy fought a little stronger this week to gain a bit more with records on his Non-NBT tracks and some NBT ones pushing further; he currently remains a little behind Leviach. Both karters are strong as the fight their way towards the Top 20 after passing mid 20s. #28 David Bonne improves his Non-NBT MC1 PR and is so close to the 1'01"5x barrier. #33 Frederic Duarte-Leite drives in with another strong set of cuts and large average finish improvement. He achieved this well with strong cuts on his Non-NBT tracks and working more on the NBT ones to gain ranks. He is headed fast towards the Top 30 and close to passing former French Champion, Jerome Gava. #56 Geoffrey Ewbank of Belgium was another karter choosing BC2 as the track to work on and succeeded on a new fastlap PR. #95 John Kennedy of Australia, yet another BC2 improver! It was surely a track of choice as he made a cut, not far below that of Ewbank, #118 Tuomas Nuutilainen, the Champion of Finland, sent a bunch of great cuts to his records this week with a strong average finish improvement and climb to the Top 120! #119 Steve Bayliss and Laura Bayliss visited Sami and Sean this weekend and during this time drove a platform jump at GV1 with a nice PR cut. A solid 2 player mode racer i must add! #135 Samuel Gomez of France makes some more progress on his PAL records and passes Women's World Champion, Tanja Broennecke with his great efforts. #138 Arno van den Barselaar sent a few new times in on the BCs and cuts his stats well. #217 Emily van den Barselaar had a small PR correction from last week, which resulted in a few rank alterations, however she has pushed ahead with more new times to defend her rank across the various cups. #261 Lindsay Molenaar sends in two more PRs to shift a few small points further ahead. NTSC Activity: #11 Florent Lecoanet followed up on his great BC2 PR on PAL by driving a nice fastlap on NTSC side this week. #23 Michael Fried, New York State Champion has had a fantastic week with NBT all over placing him further ahead with strong new times. He has almost reached Minnesota's #1 Dan Hoernemann, so a battle will commence! #28 David Smith, Tennessee State #1 has improved a few PRs with NBT and maintains position. #36 Guillaume Leviach returns to NTSC to test out his NBT potential on some old times he hadn't improved in a while and made a mass cut to climb into the Top 40 before returning to PAL. #73 Josh Stevens pulled out a good selection of Non-NBT PRs later in the week to defend his position and continue his journey to the Top 70 of the World on NTSC. #78 Nicholas Harvey has also kept the pace with the Mississippi Champion above with another strong cut and a move into the Top 80 of the World on NTSC. #190 Miles Bond makes a return to SMK this week with a great cut to a lot of new times as he climbs into the Top 200 and overtakes several US rivals. |
