| New Members No new members this week... New World Records No new World Records this week... Movement PAL Activity: #5 Sami Cetin, the Time Trial Champion of the UK made a tiny cut to his Mario Circuit 4 NBT course time during a few demonstrations. Unfortunately it faid to redeem England's football result, though was respectable driving. #27 Florian Chollet drove 3 new PRs this week to gain a bit more time on average finish. This was achieved with some nice NBT PRs for Choco Island 1 and a spot of platform jumping on Ghost Valley 2. #54 Mickael Smolen has made a strong cut past several Non-NBT specialists and former champions with 11 new PRs including more consistent VL2 and aggressive strategies on Ghost Valley 1. His Mario Circuit tracks are also coming along nicely as he approaches the Top 50 on PAL. #119 Daniel Pabst of Germany gains another rank with a nice chop to his Koopa Beach 1 lap using some water sliding. #244 Daniel Sampson of Australia returns to SMK this week, also using the Koopa Beach tracks as he place of attack. Some nice new times appeared on Koopa Beach 1, and a good flap cut on KB2 followed. Daniel climbed to 18th Place in Australia. NTSC Activity: #14 Ha Nyan of Japan gains a rank ahead of Anderson this week with new NBT records for Mario Circuit 4 and also a sub 50 second course time on Koopa Beach 1, with still a lot of potential. Just a few average finish points are between Tohgo and Ha Nyan for 2nd Place in Time Trial in Japan. #29 Matthias Boucher of France set 4 new Non-NBT PRs, some of the most impressive being on Mario Circuit 2, and climbs a rank this week. #246 Grant Gingerich of USA who recently joined Time Trials sends some improvements for Donut Plains 1 and Koopa Beach 2 with Bowser; this has gained him a couple of ranks this week. #300 Zack Weber of USA also recently joining Time Trials has gone on the first attack of his initial times and managed to chop down a lot so far, landing in the Top 300 with plenty of potential as he figures out the strategies and shortest racing lines while using Bowser. His fastlaps are looking very good so far, so expect more big cuts very soon. |
