== Super Mario Kart World Championships 2017 ==
Leyla returned for the 25th anniversary celebration year of Super Mario Kart at the World Championships 2017, held back at La Suze. She reached the overall rank of 11th out of 54 players this year despite the hard line up and lack of training.
Time Trial group stage went well and improved on last year as she placed 8th, but then was eliminated in the Top 16 to become 9th as her final rank. Match Race went exceptionally well as she delivered great results in the group stage placing at 6th there which is her highest result ever. A Top 16 match vs Algerian Champion, Salim Araissia started with him having a strong lead, she made a big comeback but narrowly lost 5-4.
Battle Mode was a solid improvement on the previous year with a 13th place position on the group stages, and she won the barrage match vs Dutch #2 Aron Langerak to reach the Top 16, which followed with a 5-1 defeat vs UK Team Member, Conor Wood. On 150cc Grand Prix Leyla kept the momentum up and managed to take on faster rivals helping her to reach 12th. She had a Top 16 match vs France's Geoffrey Label who is a former medallist. She won a cup after a good strategy involving a green shell on Vanilla Lake 1, but lost 2-1.
