Sign ups are now open for the next meeting of the N-Europe Mario Kart League.

This is a special race meet as it is the first time as part of the weekly theme that Items will be restricted. This week it will be shells only so anyone who would hold back for a Star or Golden Mushroom is gonna need to work extra hard for those points this week!

If you have not yet taken part in the league and think you have what it takes to burn rubber and reach for the top, or even join us just for some good competitive fun, it is never too late to join the league. All you need is a 3DS Mario Kart 7 and be able to play online to join the rest of the league racers at the appointed time for the green light.

Each week the league racers compete in 3 Grand Prix's on Thrusday nights. Grand Prix tracks, character and vehicle part usage are decided on by various weekly themes.

The next league race will be Thrusday the 28th of February at 7.30pm GMT, with this weeks tracks theme being "Random" only and the character selection limited to just your own Mii.

If you are interested in joining the league and taking part head over to the N-E forums and find the N-E Mario Kart League 2013 thread in the "Online Gaming" forum. (Or click the hyperlinked text a few words back)

This weeks themes are as follows.
