| Next Week's update Just a small note to say that next week's update will be a day later on Monday 8th March, instead of on Sunday. This is due to a little travel on Sunday/Monday. Please continue sending your PRs as normal until then, and updates will resume normally on late Sundays after that. New Members No new Members this week... New World Records No new World Records this week... Movement PAL Activity: #71 Freek van der Steen has had Ghost Valley 3 on the mind all week as he worked on a nice pair of Non-NBT PRs there. His average finish cut was good also for this track, bringing him just short of UK Non-NBT veteran, Dan Hooper on the PAL Rankings. #108 Alexander Walz of Germany set 17 more PRs this week and pushed through to now just 8 ranks short of the Top 100. It would be great to see him reach this goal as he has the pace to do so. This week platform jumps on GV1 & 3 were happening and more refined Non-NBT techniques across the tracks. NTSC Activity: #3 Guilherme Arantes, the Brazilian Time Trial Champion reached a nice barrier this week going sub 11 seconds on Mario Circuit 1 fastlap. #4 Guillaume Leviach made 2 very nice PRs, firstly a cut to his weaker MC2 PR for a French record there and then a decent lap time improvement on Choco Island 2. #6 Sami Cetin didn't stop when Mario Circuit 1 was the next venue of action. Along with some Non-NBT shenanigans on the Forum, he pulled out a pair on NBT PRs including sub 57" and sub 11" seconds respectively. Then some PRs for MC2 and BC3 to bring him ahead of Florent on the NTSC rankings. #20 Raul Henrique is progressing very well on Donut Plains 3 and pushing the course time down towards the 1'14" barrier; there is more room to cut the fastlap so hopefully he will try this soon also. #168 Tommy Steimel of USA has made some good PRs for the Mario Circuit tracks, with main focus on Mario Circuit 1. Woith further improvements to the fastlap he could push that down to the 1'00"s and cut a lot off the other tracks. #237 Christophe Tremblay has tested out courses that have a variety of terrain. However this has not slowed any PRs down as his latest times have earned him a -6 average finish cut resulting in a gain in some ranks including ahead of Mexican Time Trial Champion, Guillen. |
