PAL Time Trial World Champion, Pierre L'Hoest focused just on one board this week but he pulled out a great effort with a new World Record time for BC2 lap.

#11 Pierre Coste hit some PRs on CI2 and MC3, landing ahead of Gerard Roodhorst on the PAL Ranking.

#14 Manuel Babjar of Germany stayed focused on CI1 this week getting some more solid work down, and breaks into the 57 seconds with some average finish improvements as a result.

#24 Angelo Di Vano, the Champion of Italy fought a little stronger this week to gain a bit more with records on his Non-NBT tracks and some NBT ones pushing further; he currently remains a little behind Leviach. Both karters are strong as the fight their way towards the Top 20 after passing mid 20s.

He achieved this well with strong cuts on his Non-NBT tracks and working more on the NBT ones to gain ranks. He is headed fast towards the Top 30 and close to passing former French Champion, Jerome Gava.

#56 Geoffrey Ewbank of Belgium was another karter choosing BC2 as the track to work on and succeeded on a new fastlap PR.

#95 John Kennedy of Australia, yet another BC2 improver! It was surely a track of choice as he made a cut, not far below that of Ewbank,

#138 Arno van den Barselaar sent a few new times in on the BCs and cuts his stats well.

F-Zero Community and Diddy Kong Racing Community

Hello all, Alvin and a few other have pointed us again to the Diddy Kong Racing Community that has been running for a little while now. I have also been speaking the Ben Allen this week in regards to the F-Zero Community sites that have been around for many years, including some of the F-Zero snes players that I used to update on an old site back in 1999. As we are all strong communities I thought it would be good to get their links on the links menu to the left also. The Diddy Kong Racing contains Rankings and World Records for Diddy Kong Racing on N64. F-Zero's site has records and rankings for all games in the F-Zero Franchise, a large community as with Mario Kart. Check them out...

PAL Activity:

PAL Time Trial World Champion, Pierre L'Hoest tied the fastlap World Record on Ghost Valley 1 fastlap with Karel.

#13 Pierre Coste had some great MC3 NBT efforts with a sub 1'30" barrier time and also a pair of KB2 NBT records that keep him on top of things there.

#14 Manuel Babjar of Germany hit a strong pair of BC1 PRs using NBT and cut some more of his average finish off.

#23 Guillaume Leviach sets some very good cuts with some NBT on various tracks. MC1 was a good hit and others too such as MC4 becoming a strong track and CI1 at the end of the week. He has passed Angelo who was unable to play during the week but he will resume in the following week.

#27 James Jones of Team UK fights stronger on 12 new PRs combining NBT with Non-NBT skills where required and is close to the Bertrand/Brown rivalry with Angelo and Guillaume not far ahead.

#28 David Bonne continued his solid work on BC2 course time and finished up the week with a pair of Non-NBT PRs for MC1.

#34 Frederic Duarte-Leite cut a good chunk off his times with solid new records on Flower and Star cup times by majority with a new 11 second barrier lap PR for CI1.

#37 Sean Billingsley has had a thing for VL2 this week, making a solid pair of PRs there after getting the normal fast route locked down. Another interesting note is that he is approaching Team UK buddy Ben Allen for #4 in the UK...

#38 Alvin van Asselt improved his PR for BC3 5-lap on PAL and maintains position.

#96 John Kennedy maintains his ranking within the Top 100 with a pair of Donut Plains 1 PRs to climb a little on those boards.

#137 Samuel Gomez drove good records on some of the tracks, I think he is most happy with his KB2 cuts and potential as he passes rival from the Dutch Team, Arno.

#168 Daniel Pabst of Germany gains another rank on the German rankings this week with a few PRs including a sub 1'04 on MC1.

#198 Jukka Harju of the Finnish Team has sent some good PRs in this week making a -2 average finish cut and climbing within the Top 200 of PAL. Jukka has lots of potential as he breaks into the mid 1'03" of MC1 and some other good times and has also landed ahead of Polish Champion Gierzycki.

#216 Emily van den Barselaar is setting a strong standard of the Flying Dutch Ladies as she continues to hit great new times including BC1 and some records on the tougher Special Cup tracks.

#261 Lindsay Molenaar has also been following in Emily's footsteps with some of the tougher tracks getting a run through this week as she makes her way towards the next karter on the ranks.

NTSC Activity:

#8 Soul Kobayashi, the Champion of the Japanese Team returns with 8 new PRs across Star and Special cup with some good cuts and he passes Anderson #8 on the NTSC World Ranking.

#38 Alvin van Asselt also set a few NTSC PRs to maintain his rank this week; these included MC1 and KB1.

#70 Rich Gomes of Canada passes a few karters with some strong PRs on his return this week; he has also broken the 1'00" barrier which was a good target he was after.

#78 Josh Stevens defends his Mississippi state Title well with strong Non-NBT cuts across the cups and a sub 1'01" MC1.

#81 Nicholas Harvey made fewer PRs than Josh, however he is definitely putting the pressure on as his times have cut as much, even a little more average finish as he approaches the Top 80 NTSC at speed.

#88 Jacob Goldfinger improves his course PR for Bowser Castle 1 this week.

#101 Robin Usher is so close yet so far... The Top 100 stands before him as his latest PRs get him past two rivals from Brazil. He has made a good enough cut to hold the pace and gain another rank in Japan if he can reach Higashino following entering the Top 100.

#121 Eric Schafer of USA cuts a solid -2 off his average finish with 5 new PRs, the majority of the working revolving around the BC tracks where he has passed several karters.

#208 Monica Stevens of USA makes 6 new times and defends her rank well this week. She has great potential and can reach the Top 200 soon following improvements on other courses.

Karel will tell you about the next level weekend ;)
