Leyla Hasso and her Uncle Sami Cetin travelled to Manchester on 13th / 14th October 2012 to attend the Play Expo 2012 event. A section was set up for a Match Race tournament that began with a Time trial one try qualifier; the Top 16 would then advance to the Tournament Bracket. Leyla reached 1st position on the qualifier then made her way through the bracket, losing a couple of races in the Quarter Final and eventually facing Paul Derbyshire, a SNES enthusiast and strong Racing specialist in the Final, which she won 9-4. Leyla earned a Gold SNES pad for her win and went on to drive four Women's World Record improvements live at the event the next day.

== NintendoLife article and reaches 40/40 PAL Women's World Records ==
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!
Also this weekend, the team over at [http://www.nintendolife.com NintendoLife] who do articles and various Nintendo related news globally, kindly put together a summary on her achievements in Super Mario Kart and collection of videos:
