This thread has been linked to the game 'Mario Kart Wii'.
I know some of us on the forums are lucky enough to have Mario Kart on the Wii or know people with the Game, so i figured, for a little bit of fun. Why not do some Gameaday time trials.(no actual prizes can be won)
Basically, i will start with a track and within the next 24 hours, post your best LAP AND TOTAL CIRCUIT TIME of that track, then the next poster after the winner can name a new track to try it on.
Now i know you could cheat if you want to but i think the winner should submit picture evidence! or i know a lot of you have got each others FC and you should be able to see the time.
Please note that the best Lap time and Best Total time are underline, in bold and italic
The League works like this:
1st place gets 4 points, 2nd place gets 2 and 3rd place gets 1
There is a league for both total time on the track and an individual Lap, so make sure you post both!
The Third Track - We need to ensure that some people start stealing points for circuit time, or else it will be a 3 man race for 1st place! Good luck

Well i probably wont get on over the weekend, so say 9 o clock Monday Morning for Luigi Circuit, giving people plenty of time and hopefully someone can beat Grandprix so he dont have 6 points!
Then we will start a new track, which the first poster after the results can choose

I'm going back over the cups to get 1* rating for each, as I think that's how you unlock stuff.
When will this challenge close? Only I'm probably not going to get much chance to have a go at this until sunday.

Grandprix - what character / veichle do you use?
i sway between Boo with the flam flyer and Yoshi with the Turbo Blooper
But i have not unlocked anything better.
When i see Ghosts from top people it tends to be they use Funky Kong

I don't use bikes that much. I'm not much of a fan of them.
Bah! I hate this track! I can't pull off the short cut, so I'm screwed :(
Getting pretty beasty at the Peach Gardens though :) That and DK's Snowball one :P

Next week I wont be able to challenge any times as I'm not going to be near my Wii to play it (nor the internet - I'll be suffering withdrawel I'm sure!)
So someone else'll get a chance at 2nd place points :D

Instead of taking the banked speed boosts, you use a mushroom and cut right across the sand pit opposite them.

Also, I had a bit of a look last night, but how do you find out your best lap times for a course? I can find the complete track time, but not individual laps, as far as I can see it only shows these just after you finish a time trial.
