| New Members No new members this week... New World Records No new World Records this week... Movement PAL Activity: #7 Guillaume Leviach was very close to the Koopa Beach 2 World Records this week after some tinkering around with the NBT strategy; keep your eyes out as he may continue to break those great marks soon. #27 Florian Chollet set new PRs for Bowser Castle 2 and Koopa Beach 2 with a good chop off his average finish and sub 57 on KB2! #49 Alexandre Burel of Plug and Play Team in France returned ever strong with some more NBT PRs and a couple of solid Non-NBT including sub 1'29 at Rainbow Road. #69 Freek van der Steen of the Netherlands took over a couple of players this week on the ranking to push above the Top 70 with a nice platform jump lap PR for Ghost Valley 1. #92 Euan Johnston, the Scotland Champion of SMK set 8 new PRs this week and has climbed a number of ranks again. He has now reached 9th Place in the UK also with his latest effort and is on pace to go well ahead of the Top 90 soon. #106 Daniel Pabst of Germany is not too far behind Euan and approaching the Top 100 on PAL fast with a pair of DP3 and VL2 PRs to set the scene. NTSC Activity: #13 Ha Nyan made some nice records for MC1 and MC3 this week, along with some strong times on Bowser Castle 3. This has helped him to extend the lead on Tohgo and move closer to Bernier. #56 Cole Gilbert of Canada increased his volume of PRs this week and thus resulting in a nice average finish improvement and shift into the Top 60 of NTSC Time Trials. Now 9th in Canada he will have the edge and pace to go well into the Top 50 as he perfects some more Non-NBT driving for sharpness. #85 Yukiko Takada of Japan sets 4 new PRs this week; for CI2 and Rainbow Road to pass some more karters. #100 Samuel Gomez of France decided on a fun return to NTSC this week and the results were great with PRs for each cup and a resulting cut to the Top 100 on NTSC Time Trials. #147 Chuck Foster drives a pair of Ghost Valley 1 times with nice platform jumping attempts and defends his overall rank. #189 Christophe Charignon had a return to SMK NTSC this week which was good fun as it sparked off some competition for the ranks below. His immense cut so far placed him well under the Top 200. #196 Alex Vandegrift followed behind Christophe with a shift past the barrier also and 13 new PRs with most of the PRs done on Flower and Special Cups. #200 Ryan Trovillion has had a fantastic week since his joining last week, with super improvements on all of his times using Bowser and landing right at the Top 200 of NTSC. Keep up the great Karting. #233 Joe Sebeny was another suprise comeback and with 6 new PRs made a nice cut that stayed in competition with an approaching rival. #234 Nick Meade is really putting together some strong driving following learning techniques with D.K.Jr and hitting 20 new PRs. Word has it that Sebeny is also a rival to Meade before, so perhaps we will see a nice competition from them both as they close the gap to the others in front around the Top 200. |
