| Sami Cetin and Leyla Hasso Interviewed by Nintendo Many of you will have had the opportunity in the last week to see the videos of myself and Leyla Hasso who had an interview with Nintendo about the SMK site, tournaments etc. The videos are available on the Nintendo Channel on the Nintendo Wii for those that are able to go online there to see.

New World Records No new World Records this week... Movement PAL Activity: #25 Gene Tagliabue came back strong this week with 7 new PRs. RR Non-NBT is getting sharper, not far to the 1'28" barrier also. He also hit some tight records on DP1, BC3 and GV3 resulting in a strong cut and a landing on the Top 25 Time Trialers in the World on PAL. #31 Alvin van Asselt drove a small cut to Bowser Castle 3 fastlap. #44 Florian Chollet has gained yet another 4 ranks this week, making his times stronger on MC3 and DP3 NBT which gained a lot of ranks. The Belgian Champion is just ahead. #49 Jean-Francois Schepers of Team Belgium has been very active this week! He has also started some action into the wonderful world of NBT. And success so far! He gains some more ranks this time, landing within the Top 50 on PAL and potentially making a soon-to-be challenge for current Belgian Time Trial and Multiplayer Champion Mathieu Jaspard. #84 Alexandre Burel is also keeping up the pace of his above rivals carrying a large statistical improvement to his records. 8 PRs in the bag this week are pushing him through the 80s ranks with potential for more soon. #141 Freek van der Steen made a couple of PRs on KB2 and RR this week, climbing up a few places. #181 Elie Blatz set a new PR for Ghost Valley 3. NTSC Activity: #15 Tyler Worley improved his Ghost Valley 1 fastlap this week, fighting very close to rivals times. #19 Martin Morissette worked on Donut Plains 2 with a slightly larger cut, and not far from reaching Sami's rank. #78 Bill Hyman continued his successful run from the previous week, a few less PRs but now within the Top 80 ahead of Chris Flemmer and in direct competition with Bosshardt. #139 Kevin McAteer cut over 11 average finish points with a 13 PR run helping him to climb another 8 ranks. Platform jumps on GV1 are coming along nicely and a sub minute time on VL1. Keep on Karting! |
