Movement

PAL Activity:

#5 Matthias Boucher set a new 4 way World Record tie for Bowser Castle 1 fastlap and is closing in on Sami's rank with his latest PRs combined.

#10 Manuel Babjar moved to Mario Circuit 3 this week and pushed out a strong NBT lap, with potential for the 5-lap along with the good time so far. Hes aiming for a sub 1'29" next.

#33 Florian Chollet set 8 new PRs this week, fully working between Non-NBT and NBT and has made it to 14th Place on the French Time Trial Rankings for PAL after passing David Bonne.


NTSC Activity:

NTSC Time Trial Worrld Champion Karel van Duijvenboden made his sub 49 second VL1 time which he was pleased with; there is however still a lot of room left with the best strategies so he is likely to return here at some point.

#7 Guillaume Leviach passes Japanese Time Trial Champion Kobayashi this week after a nice cut on Mario Circuit 3 5-lap with NBT that went sub 1'26". It is a finger blistering track for NBT but im sure hel be healed up soon.

#15 Ha Nyan of Japan cut a few points down on Ghost Valley 1 with a further improvement there as he lowers the Japanese record.

#24 Raul Henrique played exactly the same board as Ha Nyan this week with a time precisely half a second slower. He will be working towards the great sub 1'00" when he sharpens the 5/5 jump times.

#59 Chris Morton improved his times on Koopa Beach 1 and 2; this has secured him the title of Ohio State Time Trial Champion of SMK, after passing Kelly Malo.

#75 Cole Gilbert, the Canadian MKSC specialist has pushed out his potential on SMK on his return this week. He hasn't maxed out fully on the course times yet for the tougher tracks but has made immense progress reaching his current rank. We look forward to more new times soon.

Finnish Meat Pies, wouldn't mind some more

Guillaume Leviach succeeded in an NTSC 1-lap World Record tie on Ghost Valley 3 lap at 0'14"31*.


Movement

PAL Activity:

#5 Matthias Boucher set 3 very strong PRs, DP2 lap of which was pulled off swiftly and is looking solid.

#10 Manuel Babjar continued to stay on Donut Plains 3 as he approaches the sub 15 second barrier for fastlap and continues to shave off more on the course time.

#34 Florian Chollet gains a couple of more ranks after NBT'ing some Mario Circuit 4 to a sub 1 point victory on the average finish score. 15th place on the French PAL Time Trial Ranking is looking good with plenty potential for more.

#72 Freek van der Steen moved on to neglected track Koopa Beach 2 and with a nice lap PR has opened up more room for the 5-lap for later.


NTSC Activity:

NTSC Time Trial World Champion Karel van Duijvenboden hit his weaker VL1 track with a decent sub 50 second time without hitting blocks.

#8 Guillaume Leviach makes a nice advancement past Canada's Time Trial Champion and Germany's fastest on NTSC with 4 new PRs including a surprise run on Ghost Valley 3 lap with a World Record tie.

#15 Ha Nyan of Japan also made some action on Ghost Valley 3 lap, and indeed it was a scary jump, landing pretty close to the World Record, just 0.04 short of Leviach's time.

#24 Raul Henrique is beginning to approach some more karters above, with his latest work on Mario Circuit 1 with a superb sub 57 seconds time and fastlap close to the 11 second barrier. GV1 fastlap also saw a small cut.

#61 Chris Morton worked on the Vanilla Lakes this week making considerable improvement to pass another karter on the ranking. Kelly Malo is not far ahead for the Ohio State Time Trial title.

The great Trilogy is done...
