− | During 2007 Leyla returned to SMK with Bowser on several tracks to make some faster times, she became the fastest female SMK player in London and 2nd fastest in the UK. She switched to Toad on a few tracks, then one day after several attempts she managed to drive a Women's British record on the fastlap of Choco Island 2 with Toad, beating the time of Sue Cladingboel by a few hundredths. One of her proudest achievements was reaching 1'03" on Mario Circuit 1 Time Trial, close to the record of her father Karim. Leyla also played a lot of the Grand Prix mode also and developed good skills there, enjoying 150cc Mushroom Cup. | + | During 2007 Leyla returned to SMK with Bowser on several tracks to make some faster times, she became the fastest female SMK player in London and 2nd fastest in the UK.

| The second race Leyla realised the overall battle wasn't going to be easy, she managed to land a well timed boost start, this time with Vincent stuck at the line. She zoomed off at high speed collecting a green shell which she threw away, Vincent was fighting his way through at the back not building as much speed up. Leyla collected the next weapon, another green but threw that as she came to lap 3 following a few cornering errors towards end of lap 2 that she recovered nicely. Vincent's Star on lap 2 looked promising to help catch up however it only gained him a position. On lap 3 Leyla had picked up a banana and sighted Vincent in the distance approaching the Bridge, throwing at ahead of her and nearly hitting him with it! Vincent was still fighting for 5th place as he approached his 4th lap. As Leyla reached the 5th lap she could see Vincent ahead and was set to lap him, however he received a Lightning from the Item Boxes, using it immediately to shrink Leyla and the other CPU racers. This would work to his advantage to help him catch up. However Leyla had built too much of a lead. Vincent was making a gain to the high ranks but got caught on the wall of the final corner of his lap 4. Leyla's Bowser grew to full size and she approached the last corner to almost lap Vincent as he approached his final lap, but as her top speed was not so great, she got caught on the last corner wall in a similar way, but went on to win the race due to her early fast lead. | | The second race Leyla realised the overall battle wasn't going to be easy, she managed to land a well timed boost start, this time with Vincent stuck at the line.
