== 2012 - ? : Life changes and new projects ==

2012 starts with a terrible lightning strike from UK: Sami eventually broke RR 5-lap WR using boosts and lowered it to 1'26"70. Just in order to show to Sami he would react the same way as his rival did on MC1 a few weeks ago, Guillaume beats it by 0"02 less than 24 hours after Sami's WR announcement, using NBT too. Guillaume feels he betrayed his own beliefs there and instantly realizes how useless that move was, when Sami improves the WR to 1'26"64 the week after. He swears the battle is not over, but suddenly moves to Bowser Castle 1, a track where he had never been a real killer before, just after Pierre L'Hoëst visited his place and let him challenge his awesome 1'28"69 non-NBT WR ghost. Guillaume manages to steal the NBT WR from Pierre here with one of his most solid runs ever, being the first one to reach the M+ standard here with a 1'27"85 WR. A #2 ranked f-lap 0"01 from the WR and some good Bowser Castle 2 cuts earn him another Player of the Week award, then he stops Time Trial to focus on other video games and meetings with kartmates, like Fun Cup 2012 for example. On a more personal life side, moving to another flat and getting a new job makes him putting SMK away for a while, apart from the SMK 20th Anniversary event he decides to hold in Thil again (and for the last time, according to his own words).

Guillaume feels he betrayed his own beliefs there and instantly realizes how useless that move was, when Sami improves the WR to 1'26"64 the week after. He swears the battle is not over, but suddenly moves to BC1, a track where he had never been a real killer before (despite of an "official" NTSC French Record back in 2004 where he was the only one to have played the track seriously), just after Pierre L'Hoëst visited his place and let him challenge his awesome 1'28"69 non-NBT WR ghost. Guillaume manages to steal the NBT WR from Pierre here with one of his most solid runs ever, being the first one to reach the M+ standard here with a 1'27"85 WR. A #2 ranked f-lap 0"01 from the WR and some good [[Bowser Castle 2]] cuts earn him another Player of the Week award, then he stops Time Trial to focus on other video games and meetings with kartmates, like Fun Cup 2012 for example. On a more personal life side, moving to another flat and getting a new job makes him putting SMK away for a while, apart from the SMK 20th Anniversary event he decides to hold in Thil again (and for the last time, according to his own words). He even makes a comeback to MKSC with some good runs, reaching some top 20 PRs and even two top 10 runs!

However, his semi-retired situation doesn't prevent him to prove reactive again. Back from a retrogaming meeting that Pierre and other kart fellows attended in the North East of France, he realizes that Sami has just stolen a WR from him again, and not one of the less important: his first PAL NBT WR on KB2 full race, with a 0"10 cut (55"30). Guillaume just cannot accept it and finds time enough to burst Sami's WR and break another barrier and M+ standard with a 54"84 WR which looks as hard to challenge as his 52"80 performed on the NTSC side.
