Changes

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_Racer Street Racer] for the SNES was a Super Mario Kart clone (although had different handling) but still followed the same Mode 7 graphics. It had a Time Attack mode aswell where you could specify how long a course time you wanted to do and a system to do Best Laps primarily. Sami is the unanimous Time Trial World Champion of NTSC on this game and holds most of the World Records on PAL (17 out of 24). His main rival being Pierre L'Hoëst of France who holds the other 7. However on an overall basis this makes Sami the Time Trial World Champion of both PAL and NTSC versions.

Sami has also competed on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_Machines_2#Micro_Machines_2:_Turbo_Tournament Micro Machines 2 : Turbo Tournament] for the SNES for Time Trials. But didn't favour the game for Multiplayer as much. To add another racing game to his list of professional competition from the 16 Bit era, Sami was able to be the Time Trial World leader here officially since November 2011 with 22 World Records out of a possible 54. He has other rivals though including Harold Christensen who are more skilled on some of the other tracks and haven't entered competition on all of them yet. Should this happen they are likely to rise to the title. He has expressed interest in competing with the World Records there as well as a side project for the future.

To add another racing game to his list of professional competition from the 16 Bit era, Sami is currently the UK Champion based on overall points on Cyberscore, although his UK rivals Chris Clark and Ben Allen have many faster records, they are due to complete timesets. He has expressed interest in competing with the World Records there as well as a side project for the future.

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_Machines_V4 Micro Machines V4] for Playstation 2 was well enjoyed and introduced to Sami around the Norway 2007 meet time. The current Time Trial World Champion based on full completions average finish is Marius Hukkelas of Norway. However a faster player currently holds 29 World Records out of a possible 51 and is considered to be a Champion on this category; Super Mario Kart's Multiple Championship winner [[Florent Lecoanet]] of France. Sami doesn't have any World Records here but is the UK Champion of this game.

Another game which Sami had some moderate success in was [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banjo-Pilot Banjo-Pilot] on the Game Boy Advance. He is currently the 2nd fastest player in the UK on Time Trials following Ben Bayntun.

== Personal Life ==

Sami likes to keep himself healthy and has never smoked in his life nor does he drink any alcohol. He has suffered from moderate asthma since childhood but keeping active with a training programme at the gym has helped to ease this a lot. In his spare time he enjoys video games, movies, cooking, travelling to new countries, doing creative things, civil-aviation, reading, and growing Sunflowers in the garden.
