Time Trial Anti-Records (ARs)

[KVD]

- Mario86 has passed the baton to KVD as the only person with a TT gold medal to also hold an AR.

Eat that Mario 

Also gg MJ for living the crash and burn mentality each CDx. 

[Flo233]

- the 3 new ARs were set by 3 different people,

avec le lks forcement c est le cas

[Lafungo]

Pas forcément avec le système de vies à partir du Top 8, mais effectivement c'est le cas le plus probable.

Ton message m'a fait penser à une stat, du coup j'ai regardé à quelle phase de la compétition chaque AR a été établi. Il se trouve qu'il y a 5 ARs actuels venant d'au-delà du Top 16:
- CI1   1'04"07   Gatchan   2013 -> SF
- GV2   1'22"50   Gatchan   2012 -> SF
- KB1   1'04"45   flo233   2009 -> QF
- VL1   1'02"90   KVD   2014 -> SF
- GV3   2'00"39   BPA   2009 -> QF

À noter également que MJ a failli se qualifier en QF du TT 2009 malgré un AR à DP3, puisqu'il s'est retrouvé 9è à 1"22 de la 8è place (l'autre course étant BC3).

A bit late, but time for the 2022 AR update!

Some notes:
- I've decided that times set by perma-banned players should not be eligible for statistics like this, so I am excluding them even if there is no official stance taken on this matter (yet). In this particular instance, it means that the GV1 AR has been retroactively re-attributed. Congrats Conor!
- Only a single AR was broken this year, but no fewer than three people broke it simultaneously! The previous KB1 AR was one of the oldest left standing, a 1'04"45 by flo233 in 2009. In 2022, MVH set a 1'04"95, Sumner hit a 1'05"82, and Zarkov went above and beyond with a 1'06"22.
- Speaking of Zarkov, he wasted no time after qualifying for only his 2nd ever TT Top 16 (after 2015) and immediately joined the AR holder club on the very first track of Top 16. This means that Zarkov is the AR holder who has played the fewest AR-eligible rounds at only three! (I believe all others have played at least double that.)
- For the first time in 4 participations, MJ did not set a new AR. However, he did get eliminated on a track for which he already held the AR (DP3).
- Honorable mention to MVH, who fell short of setting a new AR on CI1 by only "02! (And this in addition to having beat the pre-2022 KB1 AR as mentioned above.)

With the site update done (thanks again ScouB!), it's also time for the 2023 AR update!

Some notes:
- The KB1 AR demolition derby from last year was extended this year by none other than Narnet, who managed to qualify for Top 16 through both rounds of barrages after finishing #21 in group stage. Narnet's dedication to not learning how to slide has paid off, and contributed to his success in joining the illustrious group of AR holders at Zarkov's expense!
- After getting outdone in his first ever TT Top 16 track in 2022 (by a mere "40), Sumner returned with a vengeance in 2023 and qualified once again for TT Top 16. He then converted into a massive AR on his final of three opportunities, demolishing the previous BC1 AR by over 10 seconds!
- The weakest AR, VL1, remains unperturbed for nearly a decade now, in large part because it never seems to show up in the early stages of Top 16. For reference, in 2023 VL1 was the first track of Q1 barrages, and the current AR would have ranked #2 in that round! Perhaps the Kart Gods do not wish to take KVD's greatest TT accomplishment away from him?
- MJ remains as the uncontested King of ARs. Will anyone be able to take him down?

[Narnet]

Tout d'abord, une remarque (comme hier soir) sur la mise à jour du site du CdM : en Time Trial, il semble y avoir des "inversions" au classement de la phase de poule (avec les "points TT" : par exemple, entre Lafungo et Neo, ou entre JDR et Martin VH (et d'autres))

With the site update done (thanks again ScouB!), it's also time for the 2023 AR update!

C'est donc pire que ça au niveau de mon "entrée" dans le top 16 final, j'étais 23ème de la phase de poule .

Et m....
Ce n'est pas la non-maitrise du Slide qui a entrainé ça, mais une brasse-coulée dans le bras d'eau (quel dommage : cet exploit avait été filmé sur le stream principal, mais ça semble avoir été perdu (yesss )


En tous cas, c'est joliment tourné, et ça fait penser à ces magnifiques articles de la FFL (Fédération Française de la Loose ).
Leur devise ? "La défaite est en nous" 

Admirez par exemple cet article sur la superbe défaite de Diane Parry à l'Open d'Australie : https://fflose.com/open-daustralie-ici-cest-parry/
