Grand Prix Rejects

Lelrel . It's a shame the red flag was called and allowed even more starters. The prospect of only 14 drivers on track after the opening lap had me frothing at the mouth. Aston Martin . Somehow, Aston Martin returned. Sergio Perez . Somehow, didn't dump it. Somehow, actually finished a race in a pe...

Season Awards Reject of the Year award goes to Waluigi . The two-time world champion put all of his eggs in the SSL/Luigier basket when he left BMW in acrimonious circumstances last year. However, it looks to have been the exact wrong call. With Daisy leaving on sabbatical, the team seemed to insta...

Round 16 - Rainbow Road https://www.models-resource.com/resources/big_icons/7/6396.png?updated=1414640233 The season finale saw the top three in the championship duke it out yet again. Pipsy took pole position from Dixie Kong, with Peach and Kokkoro there in the mix. Mario missed this final round, ...

Round 15 - Bowser's Castle https://www.models-resource.com/resources/big_icons/28/27121.png?updated=1536754300 Dixie couldn't have timed an upturn in form better when she took a strong pole at Bowser's Castle. Her direct competitors were behind her, with Banjo providing a useful buffer to Pipsy. In...

The poll is open at the top of the thread. Two candidates tower above anything else, and you have 48 hours to vote for either of them

Two candidates soared over the rest, and then there were a few crumbs of other great candidates which I haven't included just due to the lack of votes. You have 48 hours so get voting on your Reject of the Race in Mexico!

Round 14 - Peach Gardens https://www.models-resource.com/resources/big_icons/20/19170.png?updated=1484534571 Pipsy won this event from pole, while Dixie finished a strong second behind her. The two are now the only remaining championship contenders. Kokkoro messed up in qualifying, and didn't recov...

Stroll potentially dropping to fifth

As a shoutout but not at all a nomination. What the heck has happened to George Russell? He's just been like not good compared to the standards that we know of him. I'll also agree with this sentiment. I've only been able to catch the full races live every other event, but I must say that the broad...

Round 13 - Wario Stadium https://www.models-resource.com/resources/big_icons/30/29154.png?updated=1554591182 It was a jam-packed event, a full house no less. This is because everyone at Wario Stadium had already bought tickets before the five-time world champion decided to retire this summer. Nobod...

In-Season Testing and Non-Championship Racing After the recent drama at Project Mario, the team turned up to the non-championship race at Koopa Beach 2 without too much rigamarole. They hired Redsaurus as their second driver alongside Mario, who proceeded to bin his kart out of a great second place...

In the early hours of this morning, some loud disturbances were reported in the industrial district of Mushroom City. At the Project Mario garage, it was reported that loud destructive sounds were heard, and that a large freight truck was moving in and out of the premises. Local Toad police were ca...

Definitely the first one.

King Boo said calmly.

When we look back, Norris winning this won't seem controversial or out of the ordinary, but in context it's incredible how he turned this around, and I'm guessing will be elimination champion at the next round or so.

Lewis Hamilton has finished in the championship: 1st (7 times) 2nd (3 times) - 4th (3 times) 5th (2 times) 6th (1 time) He has never finished third before, so this may be a career first for him! Although catching Perez is certainly still possible if Sergio continues his current form and Merc have so...

MIA issues ultimatum to ToadGate After the proven inadequate safety of ToadGate's a-spec kart, the MIA are issuing an ultimatum that the team, by the end of the season at the latest, must run a safe kart that is fast enough to qualify, otherwise Toadsworth's group will not receive a place on the 20...

There was a lot of off-track action during the sprint, and I was a little confused as to why Hamilton didn't earn a penalty while Russell did. Different corners and different incidents of course, but both the same infringement :roll: Aston Martin has completely dropped off the face of the earth to t...

Round 12 - Airship Fortress The final round of the Star Cup was mired again in controversy about injuries and driver safety. In practice, Nic Hammerton had yet another nasty crash relating to parts falling off of his kart. He lost steering and drove head first into the fiery underbelly of the airsh...

Round 11 - Mario Circuit Tragedy struck the pre-race practice at Mario Circuit when Chunky Kong collided heavily with the brick hairpin wall. He was heavily injured and will be out of racing for the next 12 months . His teammate Wiz Pig was super close to qualifying, but was still short of the requ...

Round 10 - Tick Tock Clock The championship was turned on its head at Tick Tock Clock. After everyone returned to racing and there were just about no repercussions from the six-kart race at DK Pass, we had normality again. Normality started with neither ToadGate qualifying. Whomp King, who has been...

Ryan Reynolds put in some money as well a few months back. I wonder what the actual investment reason is for the investors? What magical formula is such a middling and uninspiring F1 team giving to these vacuous Americans who don't even know anything about F1 ah I think I partly answered my question...

The 2023 "2nit2d St2t2s Gr2nd Pr2x Celebrating the galactic homecoming of L2g2n S2rg22nt" Grand Prix S1: Max Verstappen S2: Lando Norris S3: Sergio Perez S4: Charles Leclerc S5: Oscar Piastri S6: Lewis Hamilton S7: Fernando Alonso S8: Daniel Ricciardo 1. Max Verstappen 2. Lando Norris 3. ...

Round 9 - Tyre Drama at DK Pass The first round of news hit Mario Kart early upon returning from the summer break. After a test to allow in-season development, there were some noticeable changes when Birdette Racing especially made some major gains in the midfield. ToadGate, eager to capitalise on ...

Mid-Season Non-Championship Grand Prix Mario Kart fans were treated to the second non-championship event of the season (and the third ever, by my recollection) at Frappe Snowland, which used to host Mario Kart races between 1996 and 2002. At this event, Mitsuyoshi ran Lemmy Koopa and King Bobomb fo...

Wario Makes Fourth Comeback! It's official! As Mitsuyoshi attempts to find a worthy replacement for the five-time world champion, they seek the help of Mr. Jumpman himself to drive in a mid-season test to compare with his two potential successors. Tickets are already selling out to potentially see ...

Two very simple and straightforward choices for Infinite Improbability Drive of the Race in Qatar. You have 48 hours to get voting

A mighty five options open to you this time, as opposed to two the last time. You have 48 hours to get voting and decide on Reject of the Race in Qatar

Off-Cup Testing and NC Racing The MIA have decided to host more testing and NC racing over the summer break. They have mandated by way of RNG that the race will be held at Frappe Snowland , while the testing event will be held at Baby Park . Again, this seems a bit backwards in the eyes of this com...

Rest of the Flower Cup Delfino Square was a crash-heavy race, with championship leader Pipsy hitting the wall in qualifying and being unable to save herself during the race. Kokkoro finally took her first win of the season from pole when Wario embarrassingly took himself out of the lead. Para Troop...

With about 140 or so points remaining, seems like a foregone conclusion that Norris will walk this now. Excellent recovery performance considering how tragically awful McLaren's early season was. He had an 8th and a 9th after the opening rounds

Along with Londoner's suggestions, I'll add Pierre Gasly's inability to overtake without going off track, and also the drivers' general inability to not get constant penalties for going off track.

Mid-Season Test and Round 5 At Moo Moo Farm, seven of the teams turned up to do some in-season testing and improve their karts. It is understood that most of the big teams especially have been building up their bases and their machines rapidly to catch up, after it seems that DPRK and especially Ko...

Mushroom Cup The Mushroom Cup saw a big upset when the Project Mario karts lined up 1-2 on the grid at Figure Eight. Their radical new design caught the attention of the MIA and, after the team won lights to flag, was promptly banned from the next race on. This revolutionary innovation is being con...

It does seem, as Row Man Gross-Gene alludes to, a precedent being set here by the Andretti group and the FIA as much as anything. Maybe I'm just applying my appreciation of what's going on, but the fact that Andretti would try to enter in spite of all the hostility they are facing from the existing ...

The 2023 "Sergio Perez's sort of redemption-ish moment, at least on Saturday at the" Qatar Grand Prix S1: Sergio Perez S2: Max Verstappen S3: Fernando Alonso S4: Charles Leclerc S5: Lando Norris S6: George Russell S7: Lewis Hamilton S8: Valtteri Bottas! 1. Max Verstappen 2. Sergio Perez 3...
