PR UPDATES

    Once again Karel van Duijvenboden has made a lot of activity by improving on his strategies of NBT MC1 with some great new PAL World Records at 1'00"01 and 0'11"62!! So close to the 1'00" barrier! He also drove many other PRs that helped cut down his SR further. It won't be long before he moves up a few more positions on the PAL list! In Germany, Armin Huber has also been hitting PRs all over the place to end the battle between him and Boucher. These included some nice GOD times and a 1'00" NBT time for MC1. MC4 lap was also great! This brought Armin Huber up to Legend C overall standard, almost at Legend B and #15 on PAL! It is only a matter of time until Armin catches Florian Stern to become the new German SMK Champion. Antoine Olivier was this week's only active French karter, but he kept busy with 11 new PRs. He climbed up to Elite B overall standard and #60 on PAL. In the U.K, Matthew McCarthy made a small improvement to his MC1 lap.
