| Movement #4 Kouider Benarioua took the 4th place from Andreas Rudmarker, moving one step closer to reaching the top-3. Currently in 3rd place is Aron Langerak. Kouider will need another 0.5 AF pts to get there. This week the Frenchman sent in 4 new times, two of which were WRs. He reduced his ARR to -0.059, making him the newest God. It might be a while before anyone else joins the current six. #21 Christian Wild had an epic week, scoring a G+10 standard on Baby Park and scoring his first WR on Dry Dry Desert. Christian passed Rene Bauer to slide one place ahead. However, the gap to 20th is quite big now, and Christian will need at least a few weeks to reach Matt Tanzer and the top-20. #38 Ryan Stevens and #39 Sebastien Legay both sent in some new scores. Sebastien passed Gregor and Ryan may soon pass Kristopher Will if he can get a few more PRs. These movements were mirrored upside down in 60Hz, where it was Ryan who passed Gregor (to reach 21st place) and Sebastien who passed Kristopher (to reach 20th). #165 Matt Vanderwouw must have been feeling the olympic spirit lately because he improved all of his times, sending in 32 PRs. He made a 75pt AF cut, easily making the top-200. In 60Hz, his 63pt AF cut brought him to 105th place, just missing out on the barrier. Matt became a Hero D, passing through Exp A without stopping. #192 Xenio Chan made a few small cuts to clear the 200 barrier, moving up 8 places. His PRs included his new best record, a Hero B course time on BP, but overall Xenio will have to wait at Exp A for a bit longer. New records Christian Wild's 27"870 60Hz lap in Dry Dry Desert was 0"06 faster than Andrew Math's time from ten months ago. It also reached the G+3 standard. A handful of players have sub-28, so this time may attract some interest in this lap again from Kouider, Hendrik, Aron or Andrew. Kouider raced two records on Yoshi Circuit: a 1'40"168 G+3 course time and 32"207 G+4 lap. Kouider already held the lap record (and improved it by 0"01), but the course time is a record that he took from Hendrik Bunde. The old record, which is 0"020 slower, was set in 2007.
