Wait… AGAIN another news writer?!
Well… Mick right here, and here is my first ever news update on this site! I hope I will be able to write here for a
longer time than the previous updaters.
This news update will cover almost two months of activity (from June 21st to July 15th ) so I won’t be able to
relate every PR that has been set, of course, but I’ll try to talk about the most important records / improvements /
movements that occurred during this long period. Next news updates will be up every 2 weeks so those should be
slighty more detailed than this one 
Let’s start !!!
News
World Champion Sebastian Stellmacher only submitted one PR since his crazy achievement on Rainbow Road… and it’s
another WR once again! This time he used his ZZMT skills combined with the best shroom start on Boo Lake to nail a
strong 1’11”61, destroying the previous by more than a second!!
#2 Mickael Smolen still keeps a little activity in this game. He improved two of his own WR’s lowering successively
CCI flap to 11”73, and BC2 flap to 18”89, edging both God times in the process! His other PR’s includes 11”58 on SG
flap (#2) and 1’06”71 / 19”31 on LC (#4 and #2).
Some high quality PR’s again from #5 Florian Chollet. Some of his best ones were 48”35 / 14”24 on CL (respectively
#3 tie, and #4 + God time), 48”30 on rGV1 (#4), or 1’14”76 on rBC3 (#4 tie). He is slowly, but surely, getting
closer to the #4 rank on the main chart.
#6 Robert Szabo sent in a mix of new and forgotten PR’s, with noticeably a great sub on rDP1 with 59”75 (#10) and a
new 11”43 flap on rDP2 (#7). Those allowed him to get under 10.0 on AF score.
Lots of PR’s for #9 Daniel Pabst, who finally broke into the top 10! He also became Titan overall by the way. I’ll
name some of his best times : PC flap 13”40 (#3!) ; BC1 42”91 / 12”63 (#5 and #8) ; LC 1’08”03 / 20”17 (both #7) ;
BC3 1’22”00 (#6) ; rMC1 flap 6”98 (#6) ; rCI1 flap 4”99 (#7) or again rCI2 50”73 (#4). Nice job! He should be able
to pass Chris Flemmer without many troubles by the next update.
Successful comeback for #11 Alencar Faria who makes a return to the WR tally by performing a 47”76 on rGV1, beating
the previous WR by 0”1 on a such competitive track! This record is also his first God time ever, which will probably
be followed by some others ;-) We have also to mention his new top 5 PR’s on the “ZZMT tracks”, such as PC 45”86 /
13”45 (#3 and #5), MC 55”28 / 16”09 (#3 and #4), rMC1 45”93 / 6”85 (both #3) and rDP1 58”46 (#3). Like Daniel he
reached Titan overall but barely missed the top 10 by a few points. This should be for the next update! In the mean
time, the Frenchie #19 Florian Valandina also made a short comeback on non-SC with 6 PR’s, including a new top 10
time on CCI flap with 13”36 (#10 tie) and RR flap 10”79 (#11).
#24 Guilherme Arantes, also PR’ed a bit last month, probably influenced by the activity of his Brazilian mate, with
1’39”63 / 31”22 on BC4. Maybe will he be tempted to try some others tracks again? He still lost AF points whatsoever
due to the relatively high and recent activity, unlike the German #27 Manuel Babjar who kept playing after the
massive amount of PR’s he sent on April-May, this time playing mostly the retro Bowser Castle tracks with new top 20
times, like for instance 1’15”60 on rBC3 ranked #14. #31 Kevin McAteer has been closing the gap towards top 30 with
some new little PR’s to barely pass Stacy on the main chart. Possibly he could be a threat for Manuel if he plays a
lot again like he did back in December 2009!
And here comes a newly and promising player called Andy Lundeen, from the USA, entering directly into the #36 spot.
Welcome! He already pulled off some impressive records, with no less than a top 10 on Cheese Island 3lap with 49”10
(#9)!! We are looking forward to some more progress from him in the next months as he has clearly potential to reach
the top 20 
#41 Tom van Kessel keeps climbing the charts as usual, only 1 spot higher this time, despite sending dozens of PR’s
these past two months. Sweet time on YD 3lap with 1’07”00 (#11)! He should keep going his efforts again for top 40
since right on his tail is approaching fastly MKDS pro #42 Timur “for POY” Ahmad, who since the last update has
improved more than half of his PR’s. He is owning on beach tracks with an epic sub on SGB 3lap with 49”98 (#12) and
CCI 3lap with 58”71 (#14), with to boot a first Titan time on SGB flap (13”75, #20). As a consequence, #47 Chuck
Foster lost a bunch of places with only PR sent recently on rDP2. Another player to congratulate also is #50 Robert
Lee who breaks into the top 50 after taking Irish Champion title back from Lacey, hitting 50+ PR’s, most of them
from July.
#64 Christophe Charignon and #94 Zack Weber are the only players making improvements on the second half of the main
charts, both with minimal cuts. Christophe hit some new top 50 times, with even a cool top 40 on the tough rBC1
track, while Zack focused on beating his weakest times, getting rid of all his Newbie times.
Finally, unranked played Matt Davis was also active but has yet to complete again half of his timeset to appair on
the charts.
See you in August, and good luck to all the remaining MKSC players (Seb, Karel, Pierre, Tom…) in the Karter Contest!!!

Two updates in a week? (Sunday, May 23rd)
Clark @ 02:10 PM PST [link]
|

Update on Howes. He won the leadership battle on angry pygmy island (by a not so shabby 12%), but immediatley rescinded and left Tom in charge. He made a 15 hour swim to mainland Japan, where he hooked a ride on the Hirano Express and bounced his way back to Howesland. Instead of getting a good meal and taking a shower, he updated the times and promptly passed out. Hence the second update (wait, what?) in a week.
Its come to my attention that I missed a rather stonking RaR WR from Mr Germany 2005 (read Seb Stellmacher) last update. This is due in part to my laziness to actually read every message fully. I am ashamed and sad and so have decided to do 20 Hail Penevs a day as punishment. I hope you forgive me oh mighty Seb. The time in question is a beastly 34"53. I came when I first saw the Hirano RaR vid. I havent seen Sebs vid of this, but im sure if I did id cum twice as much. So thank you Seb, not only did you beat one of MKSC's toughest WRs, you also have given me more pleasure than you anticipated to!
I didnt say much about him last update, so il give you the low down on Daniel Sampsons progress this time. He hit quite a few PR's, namely a couple of top 50 times on RR (47"76) and rVL2 (7"15). He got these while taking time out from romancing his lovely squeeze Delilah. Unfortunately, if she cuts his hair, he will be struggling to hit top 200 times. So kick her out bro! She will ruin your MKSC career!
Christophe 'el nino' Charignon fluttered his wings this update and caused a volcano to explode in Iceland. It was you was it? You owe the holiday makers of Europe BIG TIME! Anyway, he is knocking on the Top 50's big wooden door with his rDP2 and rBC1 PR's.
Timur Ahmad was joining Christophe banging on the Top 50's big wooden door, only he was using the much weightier weapon of overall AF. He is less than 2 points from bonking Alvaro 'im a gummi bear' Fababu over the head with his hefty weapon now. Keep it up and you can cast Fab into the nether regions of the rankings with a sore head to add to his feelings of woe.
Nicholas 'who the hell is God anyway?' Harvey was having some hot 1on1 action with MKSC aswell these past few weeks. (Penev caught it on cam. Check out your local porn site for the vid) His latest submission, a 7"25 on rMC1, landed him a 5 way tie with 4 other males. Im not gay or anything, but thats a vid I wanna see!
You know whats really cool about Belgium? No, other than Stella Artois. Thats right, Tom van Kessel! With his last submission, all of which were on the retro courses, he has secured a 40 point AF cut. (I know I said this last update, so shut up) Its landed him smack in the top 50 at #42. Right next to Dave Smith. So you can fight now about who has the best lager. Dave WILL NOT BUDGE on the fact Natty Ice is the mutts nuts.
Robert Szabo (yeah ive never heard of him either) quit hoarding like padz and finally sent something in. I didnt bother reading it though. I just used the time to go and bang my head against a wall. Im only being like this because he has moved ahead of Ben Allen, who happens to be one of the nicest guys around. He was crying and everything. Shame on you Etch, I thought you were a baller.
Also in action this time were #2 Mickael 'swollen willy' Smolen, #87 Kevin Pillenger, #32 Manuel Babjar and #33 Kevin McAteer.
New Players
François Keriven from France who joins at #100.

FLASH! OHHHHH! (Thursday, May 20th)
AHowes @ 03:44 PM PST [link]

Ok, so hai. This is Zarkov doing the first of his highly anticipated news updates for the MKSC site. Not sure what Howes has been doing these past 2 months, so im just going to make it up. He has
been embarking on his lifelong dream of starting an experimental jazz band in Spain. Unfortunately his plane to Spain was caught in the recent Ash Cloud so he had to parachute out to a small island inhabited
only by angry pygmies. As of right now he is locked in a leadership battle with the leading angry pygmy, and will be taking part in the first of 3 televised debates tonight. Fortunately for him, Tom
landed on the same island and so decided to be Howes PR consultant (see what I did there). At this moment Howes is leading in the opinion polls by 6%. Vote Howes!
So, I guess you wanna hear about who has been active these months. What, you dont? Well bo u, imma tell you anyway. (I dont know when or what times have been updated lately so im just going with
the first time since the last update up until now.)
William Lacey, yes you heard me right, decided to stop harrassing Shane Quinlan for once and play some MKSC. He sent in a full timeset and hence joins the site. But seen as this submission was way back
in March, il fill you in with what he has been doing since. He has reset the MB 76 times, eaten 27 potato based dinners and danced 7 very sexy Irish jigs. On top of all this he has become the Irish MKSC Champion! In your face Robert Lee. William's the daddy! Actually Rob, is he your dad? He's like twice your age.
Another new member we can welcome is none other than Sami's prodigal niece Leyla Cetin. Though her times have only been allowed through because of a secret email vote. Apparentley Etch wasnt very happy about this and decided to become a doctor in protest. Anyway, welcome Leyla from Futurama!
Speaking of Etch, he took time out from said profession and duly delivered some surgical times on MC4 and CI1. Oh zing Clark, loving the puns.
Nicholas 'This time its Biblical' Harvey must of had a touch of the divine inspiration recently as he has sent simply tons of PRs. Each one neatly wrapped up in their own individual yahoo groups submission. It was like Christmas opening each of those up and finding another pr wrapped in a tiny USA flag! Though Nick, in future I want some patriotism in your messages. They all seemed very anti American.
Kevin 'padz' McAteer was also active this month sending in alot (not quite as many as Harvey mind) of prs. Including some RVL1 times of 49"63 and 6"58. C U Next Tuesday, Kmacc!
Next on the list is Manuel Babjar. The awesome German with a Spanish name. Off on a tangent here, but did you know Vladimir Putin is from France and Jurgen Klinnsman is from Wales? Well you do now. Anyway, Manuel sent pretty much a full list of prs in, plus he loves Flash Gordon, so for that he gets POM. Oh and the fact he nailed a 43 point AF cut.
Another guy who sent in almost the same amount of prs is Dutch wonderkid Alvin van Asselt. You know, the guy from the Rainbow Road vid. The one who sings "Its called a road, its called Rainbow Road. Its where you go when you die". Yeah, thats really him. I dont know how far he moved up in the ranks, but I bet its quite high. Get it? High? He is from Holland. Amsterdam? You guys are humourless. Ok, hes now 12th.
You know what prs mean? Points! And you know what points mean right? Thats right! Prizes! Though this guy doesnt get any. Christophe Charignon (the Spanish guy with a French name) only managed a 2.700 cut to his AF. Considering the big cuts everyone else has been making lately, youre letting the team down bro. Must try harder next time!
Tom van 'Dont Hessel the' Kessel from Belgium (figures) was on fire this month. He was only second to Manuel in terms of AF cut. He smashed some of his times with prs on YD and LP. Btw, you guys should hear the MKSC LP. Its full of tunes that melt the heart.
German Timur Ahmad (oh please) comes in 3rd in terms of AF cuttage after some prs on the retro courses. Infact most of you were playing the retro courses. Go buy SMK already you cheap skates. Sami is a much better overlord anyway. Trust me, if you say you will only join the SMK site if he makes you your own personalised t-shirt, he will. Try it out and see!
Other people in action this month were #89 Thomas Jordet Larsen, #5 Florian Chollet, #61 Daniel Sampson (and Delilah), #87 Kevin Pillinger, #44 Chuck Foster, Matt Davis and Adam Frederick. I would go into detail about all your prs, but this is already the longest MKSC update by about 3 times. Well in my head it is. Il try and do this a bit more regular if you guys want. Or I might just do what everyone else is doing and just watch TV and make a grunting noise whenever anyone asks about when the next update is.
Awards
Manuel Babjar. POM. For 43 point AF cut and admission of Flash Gordon love.
New Players
William Lacey from Ireland.
Leyla Hasso from Space.

Alvaro Fababu at the keyboard.
Yeah, yeah... I know. I said I’ll make the news for this Monday/Tuesday... but who cares at all? Today (at least while I writing the news) is Tom B-day, so congrats man, here’s my personal present!
News
Lets see what has happened since last news almost a month ago:
Michael Tunzi #98 has decided to give MKSC a try again sending 28 pr’s that rocketed him into top 100 with a cut of almost 10 points in AF charts. Some times like PC flap 14”78 or MC flap 18”22 show that he’s able to keep climbing on the charts; so you know, keep working hard on that retro circuits...
Our favourite times updater April Thompson #87 made a small cut during this last days, but they have been enough to pass a couple of players as reward. Double RiR times 1’26”88/26”67 are some of the times she has driven (and which have been become her best times)
The new member of the luxurious MKDS top-3 Timur Ahmad #65 has sent 7 new times to keep the pace of last weeks. The difference between his times at mksc tracks and retro ones is big; so if he keeps working on that ones he could try to go for top-50 soon. This prediction is supported by his new times, some of them far away from the times for a person with that rank as his double SGB 50”43/13”95.
Tom Van Kessel #47 keeps doing an excellent job flying over some karters (I’m a good example of that karters). TVK doesn’t seemed to push the break a couple of months and sent us over 20 new records this time. Some famous players (Andreev, Nicola, The Gaff...) are so close ahead him, so they are serious aspirants to be taken down for the next weeks.
Robert Szabo #7 made an awesome PC 48”28 as his only record, but which has helped him to stay at the same point. Just joking Etch, Ben is close, keep the good way of past year.
And finally is time to close with Mickael Smolen #2. He just scored one new record this time like Etch, this time a RBC1 1’12”73; making a triple-tie with Fried, Yunus and him with the same time. Sub 3 AF without ZZMT is his long time goal for the moment, so good luck with it!
Awards
Don’t look at me, Tom is the awards guy.
New players
Aaron Schwallier 16 from Michigan (USA).
Matt Davis and Daniel Kosnar aren’t new here and they have also been active this week, but we’re still waiting for a full timesheet.
That’s all from here, cya!

Feb Week 3
Mickael Smolen #2 – A cracking week for the number 2 as he chases down Seb for the title. He pr’d starting on Sw and moved through various flaps including YD and BP. He then brutalised RR 0’35"98 and finished up the week with a strong time on RMC4 1'20"63.

Ok,
In attempt to catch up with the updating and make it more current we’re going to skip the updates from December and Jan, here is a summary below.
Pows:
December Week 1 - Guilherme Arantes
December Week 2 - Florian Chollet
December Week 3 - Tom Van Kessel
December Week 4 - Florian Chollet
POM:
December - Florian Chollet
POQ – Mickael Smolen
POY - Robert Szabo (needless to say this was probably the tougest decision i’ve made since the site was reborn. There were brilliant reasons for both but its was Roberts overall climb which took it. Some quite rightly have a case to say that Mickael got where he got by non-zzmt but the counter arguement is that we all have to adapt if we need to in order to become number 1, its as hard to adapt as it is to beat the top players without zzmt. The best thing is that both players know they deserve it but i have to pick one).
January Week 1 - Sven den Hartogh
January Week 2 - Tom van Kessel
January Week 3- Robert Szabo
January Week 4- Mickael Smolen
POM - Tom van Kessel
February Week 1 - Timur Ahmad
Februrary Week 2 - Tom van Kessel
I’ll do week three’s proper update early next week. If someone wants to do a written update in the next few weeks drop me a pm and i’ll allocate you a slot. Guaranteed.
p.s. A warm welcome to the new players in the last two or so months - Thomas, Thomas, Joseph and Adam.

Now that October is done with, here’s the recap of November. November saw a lot of activity from members old and new, including several people who just took their game to the next level, curb stomping their old times into oblivion. Hopefully we won't need too many more block updates like these past two in the future.
Week 1:
Mickael Smolen – Mickael continued his SR spree this week with a double on RP, 59”26/16”93. And if that wasn’t enough, he threw in a nice RR 3lap of 39”03.
Robert Szabo – Just one PR from Robert this week, a 1’15”40 on RMC3 good for #11.
Daniel Pabst – Another person with just one PR, Daniel sent in a RMC2 flap of 8”08, good for #4 and a God standard.
Pete Robinson – Pete had another great week, improving almost half his times again. Good times on PC and BC3.
Christophe Charignon – Christophe sent in a lot of times from the past two weeks, improving more than half of his current PRs. Good flap on GV1 in there.
Kevin Pillinger – Kevin sent in another load of PRs, and shows no signs of stopping. I’m not sure exactly what more you can add to that. It looks like he has some good potential on MC based on his improvements there.
Week 2:
Mickael Smolen – Mickael was at it again, with several top-5 PRs for us, improving RR to 37”23, along with a WR tie on BC1, and a BL WR of 1’12”88, among others.
Florian Chollet – Florian returned this week, and started hitting time after time in the top 10. Highlights included VL1 41”88 and a good GV3 of 57”70.
Chuck Foster – Chuck sent in some good times, including two new records on SW, with 1’10”13 and 0’20”50.
Alvaro Fababu – Alvaro sent in a good 14 times for a good cut, including some good times on BC4 with 1’39”40 and 31”33.
Kevin Pillinger – Kevin sent in more than 30 new times this week. Good improvements on CCI and YD.
Week 3:
Mickael Smolen – As usual, Mickael gave us some quality times, ending up with 4 new top-5 times. Great BC4 time of 1’36”65.
Florian Chollet – Continuing on his times from last week, Florian sent in 4 new times this week, including a new WR of 57”51 on RGV3. Also of note was a great RiR lap of 22”33.
Robert Szabo – Robert also played some RGV3, ending up with a good time of 59”56.
Daniel Pabst – Daniel kept up his steady pace of PRs with a good lap on RMC3 of 11”97.
Kevin Pillinger – Another active week for Kevin, sending in more than 30 new times this week as well. Keep it going!
Alvin Le A good SGB time from Alvin this week. Looking forward to the rest of his times!
Week 4:
Mickael Smolen – More top 5 times from Mickael this week, with a great RR lap time of 10”42.
Florian Chollet – A couple good times on RDP1 this week from Florian, with 59”45/9”54.
Robert Szabo – The MKDS guru had some good times this week, including BC4 30”82 and CI1 5”00.
Daniel Pabst – Daniel had a few RMC4 PRs, ending up with a very nice 1’22”08/13”57.
Cole Gilbert – Cole had a couple of RBC1 PRs this week, with a good 1’13”61/12”74.
Andrew Howes – I had a few SG records, managing to pull off the right strats enough for a 57”96/13”33.
Alvaro Fababu – Many new times for Alvaro, with a nice KB1 lap of 3”33, and a good CCI lap of 15”60.
Kevin McAteer – What can I say? Kmacc had over 40 new times, with just about all of them cutting upwards of 20 places. Highlights include BC3 lap, GV1 5lap, and RMC4 lap.
Daniel Sampson – Daniel had a handful of times this week, with some good work on RCI1 and RMC1.
Awards:
Player of the Week:
Week 1: Mickael Smolen for two new SRs.
Week 2: Florian Chollet for many high level PRs, barely beating out Mickael.
Week 3: Florian Chollet for a new RGV3 WR, along with other high level PRs. Mickael was just about even this week too.
Week 4: Kevin McAteer, for taking so many of his times to a new level.
Player of the Month:Mickael Smolen, for many top-5 times, and for becoming #2!
Enjoy the holiday season!
