I know there was interest during Marble League. Let's see if anyone else is watching Marbula One. This is honestly my favorite league.

What do people think of the new qualifying method?

I was worried going into the season about having split allegiances with Minty Maniacs joining Snowballs as a team in this. but so far that definitely has not been am issue >_>

Heck yeah Marbula One. Need some exciting racing this year since F1 is same old result every damn time >_>.

As for the new qualifying I was worried until we actually got down to it now I'm all for it.

Only bad thing is how badly the Speeders are doing retiring in the first race from an extremely good position to plain old sucking at the O'raceway in the sand.....just like Red#3.

Yeah been a crazy start with top teams doing poorly. I dont think it will last though.

Snowballs are still masters of moving up the pack after starting in the back. I'd prefer them not starting bad but it is what it is. Hopefully snowy is back next week as snowstorm just doesnt have Snowy's timing and endurance.

interesting that despite missing a qualifier my raspberries are in respectable position. even though it sucks to see your team miss out on a race entirely, it's still a better result to have a good finish and a no-qual rather than two double-digit race finishes

I'm still enjoying it but with this being my first marbula one, I must say I enjoy the marblelympics more because it seems easier for there to be insurmountable leads over the course of a race compared to the more quickshot events of the marblelympics.It kinda sucks seeing the bolts in like 12th place and knowing it'd take a miracle or a red flag to get them back into the mix. I think that's just the natural result though of the simpler racing nature rather than them being wackier event-style stuff, it's still cool to watch.

Indycar my man. Watch some Indycar. There was also that perfect storm race where everything went of so wrong at all the right times to have an interesting result, which incidentally was the only F1 race I caught this year so far...

Anyway, I used to watch some of the marble racing videos from Jelle. But not since the last Winter Olympics. Maybe I'll check out this Marbula one.

Mimo's lead evaporating from +4.xx down to almost +.8 in the span of one lap was crazy especially when Red Eye wasn't even fastest lap. Not even the commentator noticed it at first. That was almost a major choke job, but they held on and recovered enough.

I really enjoyed that track more than the others so far, even if Bolts and Oceanics didn't do well. I like the tracks with some roadblocks in there that can hold stuff up.

Dat 3 way battle for the lead was something else. Good to see the Speeders get the win though.

Imagine getting that much action in F1!

Gonna disagree with Emerald on the track for race 3. Not a fan of obstacles like the split where most just crash into it. Though Snowballs always seem to do well on weird track sections like the sand in r2 or the hive section in r3 so I cant help but like those. I thought the figure 8 was cool! And the overall race was amazing so hey what do I know.

Minty Maniacs finally get to race! And they got points!

alsoanother respectable finish for Snowy. Would love to see him get back on the podium or get a fastest lap point but at least hr stays top half. Seemed like he tried something different here making his big comeback move up the pack at the very start, but it didnt seem to work out for him.

The thing for me is that unlike actual race cars, marbles can only take one line based on the laws of physics if there's only track in front of them. To me, the obstacles put excitement into a race that's otherwise likely a bunch of marbles hugging the wall in a line because, well...they're marbles. To me the obstacles give that ability to pass that makes it feel more like an actual race. But hey, that's just me.

Honestly, I like the track itself but it was very underwhelming as far as being "oceanic-y." Some trees, some rocks, and that's it? No water anywhere? Meh.

All part of the master plan to make Oceanics not suck you see. Anytime there is water present they are absolutely awful.

I say that and they dropped back quite a bit but still a points finish at least. Rapidly is utter shite this year though, racing as bad as Mary was last year. Even did worse than the Limers this race!

I feel like there was a water section last season but I am probably remembering wrong.

But I love the idea that it was there and the Oceanics removed it because it only hurt them.

I don't like Crazy Cat's Eyes. Very happy by the performance by Bolt, though. Billy didn't fare too badly either. Good job, teams!

Those final four laps by CCE were fucking crazy. Almost lapped last place to boot! Shades of Red No.3 type dominance in the making.

I'm just glad that Crazy Cat's Eyes didn't put up another ridiculous amount of points. I was worried with Red Eye starting in 2nd, but he finished middle of the pack and only added 6 points. They are still technically catchable within a single race by Green Ducks at least.

Happy to see such a strong performance by Billy. Green Ducks are within striking distance. However, Yellup should not be allowed to race at the moment. You won't convince me Yellup passed concussion protocol because it didn't look fully right. It was racing on instinct out there. C'mon Jelle's. Protect your marbles.

hell yeah, raspberry racers finally had a good race. i don't think i've actually got to follow my rooting interest in the front of the pack this year, so that was a nice change of pace
