Changes

Florent’s first GP WR came right before the start of the [http://www.championnat-smk.org/CDF2005.php CDF 2005] (which was the first CDF he participated in). Because his name was on the list of participants, many people were wondering who this new kid on the block was: the newcomer who beat one of Don Camillo’s most prolific WR’s. This created a fuzz amongst the karters present and they could soon observe a new star in the making. Outside of [[Mushroom Cup]] GP and some Battle Mode practice, Florent was relatively unexperienced playing against other players, but he still performed quite well, ending on an 11th position in the overall ranking of the tournament. He almost caused an upset by beating [[Harold Christensen]] in the Battle Mode quarter final. At this point in time Harold was already an accomplished Battle Mode player and well known for his skills in this mode; in other words a clear favourite to win that tournament. In his match against Harold however, Florent was leading 5-3, much to the shock of the karter’s watching. In the end Harold’s experience proved a little too much as he came back to proceed to the semi final with a 7-5 win.

In the summer of 2006, the webmaster of the [http://www.mariokart64.com/smk SMK Time Trial site], [http://speedrunwiki.com/Sami Sami Çetin], hosted a world wide kart meet in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croydon Croydon], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England England]. Florent attended this event and this was the first time he travelled outside of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France France] to meet fellow karters. He wore a T-shirt specifically designed for this event, a gesture that was greeted with much enthusiasm by the other karters. At this point he had already become a strong force to be reckoned with in [[SMK]], but he still lacked a little experience against the likes of [http://speedrunwiki.com/Pierre_L%27Hoest Pierre] and [[Sami]], thus losing to them marginally in Match Race by 12-8 scores respectively. He did however pull out a 10-10 tie against the [[PAL]] [[Time Trial]] Champion at that time, [[Karel van Duijvenboden]].
