Movement PAL Activity: #9 Guillaume Leviach worked on Ghost Valley 3 with a nice PR to cut some average finish. #19 Gene Tagliabue is continuing to fight strong with 3 more PRs this week including more potential opening up on Mario Circuit 3 and a sharp PR for GV2. #31 Alvin van Asselt takes a millisecond off his VL1 lap to make a tie with Michael Jongerius fastlap there. #41 Florian Chollet is closing the gap to some rivals ahead; with legendary Franck Mazieres up as his next target. Florian had fun dancing on ice with 4 PRs on the Vanilla Lakes this week. #93 Samuel Gomez drove a pair of new times for Ghost Valley 3 to go along with his CDB adventures last week, he has passed Damir and hoping to work towards the Top 90 soon. #121 Freek van der Steen worked only on VL2 but his cuts were of great value as he has passed some karters from Sweden, Germany and Belgium. Freek is on his way to gaining a few more ranks on the Dutch leaderboard if he cuts a similar amount of average finish with his next PRs.

He is approaching Battle Mode World Champion, Drew Blumfield. #48 Nicholas Harvey gains a few ranks with a very nice Ghost Valley 1 lap and a pair of Non-NBT PRs for Donut Plains 2. #74 Josh Stevens is also progressing well with some good Non-NBT work for Rainbow Road. Sylvain is not far ahead, and also former USA Time Trial Champion Travis Nelson. #102 Kevin McAteer is closing in on the Top 100 of NTSC; his efforts on Mushroom Cup are supporting his climb well and some cuts for the water tracks. Rainbow Road Non-NBT is also gaining him some positions. |
