On the weekend of 20th / 21st October 2012, Leyla worked on Mario Circuit 1 and finally breaks the 12 year long standing Women's World Records set by retired Sue Cladingboel (also a native UK karter). Leyla then proceeded with the final track Choco Island 2 and passed the 40th PAL World Record there previously set by the Female SMK Champion of France, Lola Zappara, which was also set some 10 years back or more. Not only did she dominate the list of records but she also climbed to her highest PAL World Rank yet (within the Top 100), 93rd!

Leyla made her debut on NTSC Time Trials in Autumn 2012 and within a short period of time put together a solid Non-NBT time set to land within the Top 75 on NTSC. She stopped it after that to return back to PAL. Her rank on NTSC got her ahead of the Female Japanese Champion, Yukiko Takada to become the NTSC and PAL Women's World Champion of SMK as of November 2012.
== Games Expo East Kent 2013 Match Race Challenge and Vanilla Lake 2 Record ==
Leyla attended the Games Expo East Kent 2013 event in Margate, UK with her uncle Sami on Saturday 23rd February to volunteer for running a Super Mario Kart Tournament for the visitors. There were 73 entries and the winner of the first final was Dave Kingston, an old friend of Sami's who visited for the day from South London. A special exhibition match was set up between Dave and Leyla Hasso with most of the venue spectating. Dave, a Battle Mode Specialist put up a good match winning a couple of races and coming close on a few more. The final result was 10-2 to Leyla; [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UY6kP0ctk8E Leyla Hasso vs Dave Kingston Match Race Video]
Later in the day, Leyla had her sights on setting a new Time Trial Women's World Record on a very liked track, Vanilla Lake 2. She got more than she bargained for in the end, after landing a consistent race to finish at 53.31 seconds, which is also the 2nd fastest time in the UK after her Uncle Sami's record: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOFKUgsY1UM Leyla Hasso Vanilla Lake 2 5-lap 53.31 seconds Video]
