#3 Florent Lecoanet broke an incredible barrier reaching the first sub 48 on PAL with a 47"95 World Record for Koopa Beach 1, very well done!
#8 Angelo Di Vano, the Champion of Italy also broke a barrier of his own, reaching the 58 second club on Mario Circuit 1 along with another PR.
#9 Guillaume Leviach provided his latest cuts on a few tracks, performing really well once again with great achievements on VL2 fastlap.

#13 Pierre Coste put some more effort into his Ghost Valley 2 PRs this week with further cuts including for average finish helping him to pass Matthias Mann.
#21 Ben Allen made slightly fewer PRs however some significant cuts to reach some rival karters. F-Zero friend and Swedish SMK champion Kalle Videkull was one of them, and the Legendary Harold Christensen. Ben is now on target for his big target. We look forward to see him hit those winning PRs on his road to victory.
#108 Samuel Gomez continues to play BC3 with another PR and maintains his rank.
#192 Elie Blatz of the Plug and Play Team in France returns with some very strong cuts to his times, a super effort! He has reached the Top 200 on PAL also with plenty of potential.
#203 Shane Quinlan, the Champion of Ireland continues to PR with 7 new times this week. He is approaching the Top 200 spot on PAL, with further PRs he can reach that mark very soon.
NTSC Activity:
#2 Pierre L'Hoest continues his NTSC adventure making a great climb and is nearly reaching #1 on NTSC with NBT. His latest PRs also included a solid World Record on Ghost Valley 2. Will Karel defend his title for next week?

#27 Frederic Duarte-Leite is improving his level each week by passing another karter, with great times once again.
#119 Von Flyler of USA made a return to SMK crushing his PRs left, right and center and a large average finish cut. With continued improvement he can fly into the Top 100s; awesome potential, we look forward to seeing more PR hits.
#164 Eric Tapani drives a small PR on KB1 fastlap.
#168 Chuck Foster has made a pair of new times on Donut Plains 2 and is also defending his rank this week. Perhaps a battle vs Eric will take place in the next week. |

No new World Records this week...
Movement
PAL Activity:
#8 Angelo Di Vano is enjoying his Choco Island 2 at the moment with a great sub 1'06" PR and rank defence.
#9 Guillaume Leviach came up with a few more PRs than Angelo this week chipping off some average finish also.
#24 Ben Allen continues his journey towards McCarthy with some more solid progress this week, a little fewer PRs but is reeling his UK rival in with each new time. Another few targets are just a bit further ahead also.
#98 Steve Bayliss sent a few more PRs also to keep active on some tracks. He has maintained his rank with his new times but is getting closer to former UK Time Trial Champions of the 90s; Matt Leech, and earlier than that, the one and only "Gaff".
#243 Lindsay Molenaar returned this week with some PRs with Toad; plenty of 5-lap potential on Rainbow Road which she will sharpen soon.
NTSC Activity:
#2 Pierre L'Hoest has edged in front of Brazilian Champion Guilherme Arantes this week with further PR cuts sharper than some previous times. Most were NBT with a Non-NBT PR.
#6 Oliver Segarra Gonzalez has passed the Japanese Champion following his Ghost Valley adventure this week, some sharp records which came out. He is now setting his sights on Canada's Time Trial Leader, Chris Balch. Perhaps a battle will happen, and he will aim for Mann afterwards?
#10 Anderson Barbosa dos Santos of Brazil made a small PR to Choco Island 2 this week.
#164 Eric Tapani is continuing his climb without signs of slowdown yet, some great new times are being made and he is making a margin on the average finish.
#171 Chuck Foster has had a good little return here with a cut to his weaker CI PRs putting him in close range to a few karters just ahead. We will likely see him climb further in the next weeks and if he picks up the pace perhaps provide an extra challenge to active rival Tapani. |
Happy 10th Birthday Super Mario Kart Time Trial World Records and Players' Site!

10th Birthday for SMK Time Trials Site
10 years ago I uploaded some of the first pages for the SMK site... How time has flown by! We started off small and it has grown so much from manual updates to more functional databases that we are using today. I would never have expected to have a community so great, joining several countries around the world, including great meets and much more to look forward to for the future! Except for some holiday weeks years ago or rare occasions, I think I have managed to keep weekly updates all this time. But it has also been thanks to all of you for your input, ideas and support through the years; thank you to all.
Unfortunately I don't have a birthday cake here to celebrate, but we already did some good celebrations (early) at the CDE in August, and I'm sure you can all celebrate in your own ways on this day. So keep having fun, sending your PRs in and recruiting more players for the future and we will enjoy many many more years in our great community.
Best Wishes,
Sami Cetin

#24 Ben Allen of Team UK is continuing to take down his records on several tracks with great new marks made as he lands in the Top 25 of PAL. An interesting target is on the next large gap ahead as he continues his quest for UK #2.
#98 Steve Bayliss continued with a few more PRs this week, namely on GV1 where he made some decent attempts including a platform jump.
#203 Shane Quinlan, the Champion of Ireland has been improving some of his PRs already since joining the site, claiming a few more records from Cairns. He is also fast approaching the Top 200 in the World with a lot of potential to improve his records.
NTSC Activity:
#2 Guilherme Arantes took the KB2 World Record early this week but it was later taken by a rival.
#3 Pierre L'Hoest has done a very strong attack on NTSC this week pushing out his full potential with several PRs on many tracks, also succeeding in an NTSC World Record. As a result he has passed many rival karters.
#6 Chris Balch, Canada's Champion had a great week with a nice World Record on Koopa Beach 2, also cutting some average finish.
#7 Oliver Segarra Gonzalez worked on his current favourite, Bowser Castle 1, succeeding in a pair of strong World Records there to fight back vs Karel.
#10 Anderson Barbosa dos Santos returned to SMK this week with 4 new PRs and makes a small average finish cut, maintaining his position.
#160 Kevin McAteer made the largest of climbs with his rivals in the USA team. He has once again climbed the ladder brilliantly cutting PRs on most of the tracks.
#165 Eric Tapani gained 10 ranks in the past week, and is not too far behind Kevin with a lot of new records also with his Non-NBT getting sharper from the previous weeks.
#174 Nick Fraher made a slightly broader cut than Eric but is still on the chase with his great set of new PRs, mostly with cuts to his Special Cup times which are looking more solid. There is still a lot of room to improve and he will pose a good challenge for his two rivals in the next weeks. |
