Well that was a pretty bad night for me. Doesn't help when you're doing well and then all of a sudden you get totally destroyed by items again and again sending you from 2nd to 8th time and time again.

Especially the theme

In the meantime, here are mine and @Dcubed's highlights. He's on the left, I'm on the right. @viceview51 and @punio75 also have an unfortunate moment here.

Spoiler

Highlights involving both screens

No major changes, but an awful lot of drops and rises in averages. As @Nicktendo noted, he finally got a second placing! Imagine ending the year with that gap!? Close call.

We're getting to the home stretch now, and it might seem like the results are all but decided, so in a possible catastrophic move, I present to you.

Glen-i's Disastrous December Death Themes!

I hope you're ready for completely unnecessary, gimmick-y themes that no-one will ever like. Because I sure am! And we're doing them all month. This first theme is based on an idea from @Dcubed

Next League Night: 30th November 8pm

As you no doubt must have noticed, this week's gimmick no-one asked for is Smart Steering. This is completely mandatory and must be used. Don't think I won't notice, because I will check all of the replays for that antenna and if I see someone not playing ball, they'll come last for that race.

And just to cover my bases, here's how you turn on Smart Steering.

Alternate Parts

P-Wing - Use the Circuit Special

Cyber Slick - Use the slick tyres

Wario Wing - Use the Plane Glider

Isn't it possible to use a different profile, while having the parts unlocked?

Sounds like an interesting theme. Nearly thought I wasn’t going to make it this week as our modem blew last Friday and we’ve only just got the new one today. 

But im in and hosting as usual.

No, you can't. Unless you're the second player joining a room. So for example, when I play with @Dcubed, I use my profile, but I have access to his parts... that I mostly unlocked. Cool little thing, the coins I collect playing as his guest get added to my file.

Anyway, just a small, tiny, subtle reminder.

SMART STEERING IS MANDATORY!

I will check MKTV for anyone who is not using it. If I find anyone is not using it, they will come last for that race. You've been warned.

Smart steering is pretty much going to kill all shortcuts, right. Or can mushrooms overcome the power of smart steering?

Even with mushrooms smart steering will stop you from going over all non-track objects I think.

Be warned, this night is going to mess with you so much. I’ve been playing some GP’s with this on and it just messes you up. Every route you know in each track is going to be messed with. Those little places that you could hop over a corner, well the steering assist says ‘NO’. Shortcuts, you better activate that mushroom at the precise moment or tat assist is going to kick in and ruin it. 200cc didn’t even feel that fast as it seems to break a lot for you.

That's the beauty of it. It's going to feel VERY different.

Was in until I saw 200cc.

I'm free Thursdays now so will get back into this.

With steering assist on its not like a normal 200cc race, you should join.

Looks great fun but I'm out tonight! Been feeling feverish all week so I avoid watching to much screens in the evening to save some headaches. Enjoy!
