Shane Quinlan, Ireland (PAL 206th, Ireland 1st, Warrior E)
New World Records
Karel van Duijvenboden took his World Record on Bowser Castle 1 NTSC of 1'25"65.
Pierre L'Hoest drove a World Record for Ghost Valley 2 on PAL 1'01"31.
Movement
PAL Activity:
PAL TT World Champion Pierre L'Hoest returned this week with a surprise World Record steal on Ghost Valley 2 PAL.
#3 Florent Lecoanet had a small PR on Donut Plains 1 with NBT and is defending his current rank.
#9 Guillaume Leviach and #10 Manuel Babjar continued their great battle this week, with Bowser Castle 1 being a main focus. Manuel is close to breaking the 1'29" barrier, while Leviach hit the targets he wanted including a few other cuts to take the lead this week.
#26 Ben Allen of Team UK has had another fantastic week, doing damage on every track he touched pretty much. His NBT skills haven't even peaked yet as he continues his way towards his impending goals. Papon is within range and more just ahead of that. In the end of the day, he felt no way... ITOC!
#31 Alvin van Asselt continued his VL1 fastlap work but struggled a little. He did manage to push it under 10"2x. Some more refining and he can pull out an even stronger lap.
#32 Gene Tagliabue, the Champion of Australia is having a little break at the moment, however he did present a pair of Rainbow Road PRs to go along last week and these have helped him to pass Olivier.
#41 James Tagliabue is also in the same boat as Gene but will hopefully return at some stage. He also drove a PR for Rainbow Road, a little faster than Gene's and sub 1'29" also.
#98 Steve Bayliss of Team UK has done it after long last and reached the Top 100 in PAL SMK Time Trials in the World. A strong set of PRs this week with some great efforts have done it. Some more on this pace could set him towards the Top 90, keep on karting!
#108 Samuel Gomez gains another rank this week from a former Swedish Champion from the 90s, with a pair of Bowser Castle 3 times.
NTSC Activity:
NTSC TT World Champion Karel van Duijvenboden hopped over to Bowser Castle 1 and returned the World Record back to himself with some consistent racing.
#7 Oliver Segarra Gonzalez continued his strong PR'ing on Donut Plains 3 and also hit a nice KB2 lap in the meantime to reach 7th place. Soul is not too far ahead so a further battle will commence.
#23 Christophe Paquin of France made a little return to NTSC this week with a pair of NBT PRs for Choco Island 1, a nice cut of average finish.
#110 Bryan Cochonour reaches the top 110 this week with 6 new PRs. He has driven good marks on Mario Circuit 1 in particular, where he subs the 12 second fastlap barrier with Non-NBT.
#175 Eric Tapani drove 14 PRs on various tracks and passed several karters again from USA, Canada and Japan. Some of his fastlaps are showing potential for larger cuts to come on their associated 5-lap times.
#190 Nick Fraher has also performed similarly to Eric, as both karters climb well. Eric is now within the Top 190 and showing solid Non-NBT techniques. Following some more tightness on corners and countersteering to keep to closest lines, he will shoot up the ladder towards the Top 100. |

Movement
PAL Activity:
#8 Angelo Di Vano played only MC2 5-lap this week with some nice Longboost results so far.
#9 Manuel Babjar reached a fantastic goal that he was after, of Sub 1'06" on CI2, very well done.
#10 Guillaume Leviach also drove some MC2 but the fastlap with Infinite Boost making good progress there and another small PR.
#29 Ben Allen, Team UK's Time Trial strongman PRs on a lot of tracks this week, breaking into the Top 30 on PAL with a lot of potential still on many tracks. Interestingly he is now within range to reach Swiss Time Trial Champion Raphael Braun and a few more karters close ahead of him, including former rival, Fredy.
#31 Alvin van Asselt informed us that he is in works on VL1 fastlap amidst karting on MKWii. So far he has nailed a solid Non-NBT lap and defends his rank.
#43 Mathieu Jaspard, the Champion of Belgium has returned to SMK this week with some good PRs and cuts to pick up the pace once again. With some more NBT he can reach the Top 40 very quickly, with some famous rivals ahead.
#106 Steve Bayliss of Team UK also makes a surprise return to push ahead again of some rivals. His new PRs on the MC tracks are looking solid, with more room for improvement. Could he be making his run for the Top 100 in the next weeks? Definitely go for it!
#109 Samuel Gomez was taken by surprise this week with the challenge from Bayliss, however he did not go without a fight and defends his rank for now from another challenger. His BC2 PRs are looking good to keep things moving well.
#111 Alexandre Burel of the Plug and Play Team within France has been the man of the week with an awesome array of PRs, also practicing a few NBT cuts here and there to boost his fastlaps. He will be a definite challenge for Samuel and Steve in the next weeks, and expect him to hit the Top 100 very soon too.
NTSC Activity:
NTSC TT World Champion Karel van Duijvenboden returned to the NTSC side to continue a few BC2 adventures, tying and then sneaking ahead of the Bowser Castle 2 World Records there.
#2 Guilherme Arantes, the Brazilian Time Trial Champion worked on KB2 5-lap, making a tie World Record with Karel.
#5 Chris Balch, the Champion of Canada submits a few small PR cuts this week and defends his rank.
#8 Oliver Segarra Gonzalez of Brazil hit some more nice PR cuts this week with some work on the more difficult DP3 with potential for faster. He has passed USA Time Trial Champion Joe Bernier; we look forward to seeing more PRs from him soon.
#14 Tyler Worley of USA has picked up on improving some more weaker tracks this week which is working well to his advantage. He has climbed a rank ahead of a Brazilian rival. Could he continue the pace to one day challenge Joe for the USA Time Trial Title?
#113 Bryan Cochonour made several more PR cuts, and is working on a few of the tougher tracks to find the best strategy. He is making a good pace to head towards the Top 100s.
#179 Kevin McAteer is really picking up the pace this week since joining the site over a week ago. So far he is smashing many of his times, climbing the ladder fast within the Top 180. We look forward to see the improvements to his rank over the next weeks.
#191 Eric Tapani is also making similar improvements and follows closely behind Kevin. He set some PRs on a few of the trickier Special cup courses and is improving his sub 1'02" MC1 PR along with others. Keep on Karting! |
