| New Members Welcome to... Eric Weyrich, France (PAL 178th, France 51st, Warrior B) New World Records No new World Records this week... Movement PAL Activity: #10 Manuel Babjar does further efforts on VL1 taking the lap down even more to rival some more of the top players and still working on the 5-lap. He can chop off another second at this time, possibly 2 with success on the tougher strats. Manuel is cutting average finish down well. #15 Angelo Di Vano, the Champion of Italy worked on his Flower Cup times with some NBT and for his skill level is making some nice times there, cutting off half an average finish point. Jonas and Roodhorst are within reach ahead, some more ranks to be reached. #16 Guillaume Leviach broke the 1'20 barrier on DP3 with some successful NBT and also another PR to improve his overall stats. #28 David Bonne is within a tenth of a second from a sub 1'28" on Rainbow Road with his latest PR this week. #35 Alvin van Asselt submits his weekly cut to BC3, while he focused on MKWii a lot to defend his title the past week. #79 John Kennedy is again loving the competition but should watch the rear mirror on his kart for fast oncoming Team Australia members. John defends his rank this week #86 Gene Tagliabue has kept another evry strong stance with several improvements once again pushing his level higher as he passes Nick for #5 in Australia and lands within the Top 90 on PAL. #93 Gavin Mace, the Tasmania Champion of the Australia Team made a sudden comeback to answer to Gene's recent activity. He is already crushing some courses well and will provide good competition for those above in the coming weeks with his pace. However there is another karter that could pose more of a threat... #111 James Tagliabue is flying up the charts fast hitting strong records and starting to nearly challenge those times of his brother Gene. James is bound to land in the Top 100s very soon and rival the karters above. If they keep the pace the Top ranks of Australia could have an interesting battle at hand. #136 Aurelien Durand of France sent a cut to his Mario Circuit 1 Non-NBT PR. #148 Matthias Rustemeyer of Germany returned to SMK this week to set some PRs and is so far enjoying a battle in the midst of several German rivals, some more PRs can see him lead the group there and head towards the top 140. #251 Lindsay Molenaar didn't stop PRs this week as she sharpened up her skills on some of the shorter tracks, taking corners tighter and pulling out better laps on some of the more difficult courses. Lindsay is aiming for a Top 250 spot soon. NTSC Activity: #5 Pierre L'Hoest decided to hit some more solid NBT on Mario Circuit 3, with some refining strategies has knocked out some great records so far. #8 Soul Kobayashi, Japanese Champion is hitting some great new records with more work on MC1 and cuts to other weaker records. He has improved his level more and is close to reaching USA Time Trial Champion, Joe Bernier. #10 Florent Lecoanet also drove similarly to Pierre with times on MC3 but a little slower. However they both have some solid records there with potential. Florent extends his lead from Oliver. #32 Tohgo Ariake set some new records on a few weaker tracks and improved some average finish to land ahead of Harrington, also approaching more karters. #143 Joe Garand took the USA team activity this week with his return to SMK and several new PRs to cut a large amount of average finish placing him in the Top 150 of NTSC Worldwide. . |
