Ok, I think I've finally decided on a team now. Previously I was in doubt whether to root for the O'rangers, Savage Speeders, Green Ducks or the Hazers, but I'll stick with the Savage Speeders. O'rangers was my first go-to, but their performance has not been very consistent imo.

I assume the actual race is the same time tomorrow? I've been pulling for the Green Ducks but that qualifying run :negative:

I think so yeah. The premiere reminder should show up on your subscription feed on YouTube tomorrow too if you're subscribed to their channel. I'll try to post it here too if I can.

Orangers are my least favourite team but I do love how their supporters keep up the "Ooooooooooo" chant for their whole qualifying lap.

basically theyre simulating in a limited capacity what would be an even better video game. the prospect of missing a marker feels like a higher stake of failure with the drones though

A dismal showing for team galactic, but that's okay. We've had bad qualifiers before and still ended up doing quite well.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Also, I really wish the merch store sold hats that actually had the team logo on it, rather than just the name. O'rangers got the only cool looking hat

Stupid pulsar. I'm so pissed, galactic was 2nd in points and now they dropped again. Team management needs to know they are really throwing it all away.

But a fine race all around.

Impressive showing by the Snowballs, jumping six places up the board is no mean feat. Wish I could say the same for the Ducks, valiant efforts from both Billy and Mallard but we just plain need to improve :/

If Shock can keep it together then Thunderbolts may still have a chance. Bolt has been carrying the team pretty hard lately.

I know that initial position isn't everything, but the poor showing at the qualifier really hurt Billy this time imo.

Stamina wasn't Prim's problem; he had trouble with that last turn on way too many of the laps.

All in all that was an exciting race and I cannot believe how invested I have become in all of this.

Snowballs steadily improved over the season so far. I went back and watched some of the earlier races. You can tell that the coach started to take cornering seriously.

In one of the earlier races a marble got stuck early in the race and we actually saw the safety marbles in action to try and knock it loose. safety marbles are ball bearing :3:

Anarchy got absolutely stitched up into turn 3 on lap 2, dropped from fighting at the front to 10th I think. I was so excited after lap 1.

Good race though, absolute shame about anarchy finishing 15th after the great first lap

My thoughts exactly. :( When I saw that he fell to 10th I thought he maybe at least be able to hold that position but then he turns up at freaking 15th. Oh well at least I don't care for the Hornets.

You laugh but it exists. It's a big steel ball bearing that runs through the track and crashes into stuck marbles to get them moving.
