| New Members No new members this week... New World Records 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. |
