The Marbula One has arrived; The Next Generation of Marble Racing
- Thread starter SteveWinwood
- Start date
Incredible performance by Wospy to get a podium placement in this race, what a showing for team that's been stuck at the bottom for the rest of the season. The excellent balance through the hive proved important for staying competitive.
I'll be happy when we get get to the next race and improve the conveyor belt system though, it's absolutely brutal watching marbles lose positions due to it.

Very fun race! Insane how the front row just went backwards. Incredible comeback by Team Galactic, that's 2 wins already!
Purists will complain that the Hive is a gimmick, and let us know how much they wish for things to be like they were done two decades ago, but lets be honest, the sport has has to adapt to modern times.
It fucked over my team, but I still think it's a cool addition. I like the idea of things that can cause drastic changes in the race. Went from first place by a giant lead to 5th.
...I wonder how long it will be before we see a race track with high-risk short cuts a la Yoshi Circuit or Pinball cabinets.
Greenstone looks pretty crazy. Looks like they'll need to nail a perfect racing line to get a good qualifying time, but it's going to be hard to keep that during an actual race. I think which ever marble gets a big lead on the first lap will run away with it.
Disappointed in Orangin, but Galactic is probably my second favorite team so it was nice to see them get another win.
Really fun race, the hive really mixed things up. Raspberry Racers got some more points - fell back to 12th almost immediately from starting 6th but managed to battle back and finish where they started. Definitely could have gone worse!
Aw, rough finish for Limeline just below points, but it's hard to be upset about it. The entire midcard was an incredible sequence of position changes right up to the final lap. Also happy Momo finally got on the board.
Didn't have a favorite through the first few races, but enjoyed them. After this race, Team Galactic all the way...however, not because they won.
My wife had made fun of me whenever she saw that I'd watched a qualifier or a race. Today, I put on the race, and she came in, laughed about it, then said "I want the blue and white one to win"....she meant galactic. By the end of the race, she was cheering, and now is waiting for the next one.
So, yeah, we're a Galactic household.

This is a new league that started this year, but it's the same channel. He started way back with marbles rolling down a dirt/sand track in his back yard. Then went to the rally racing with the teams, then the olympics and winter olympics. At one point, he accidentally deleted his entire channel, so he's been building his content back up.
Also a Ducks fan but Billy fucked up hard yesterday. I actually found it hard to concentrate on the top 3 with my boy 3/4 of a lap behind.
Oh hey there's a thread on this.
Honestly torn on which team to support. Anyone want to argue their case?

Team Momo needs all the help they can get. If things don't turn around you should be able to write off supporting them as a charitable donation on your taxes next year
I like the Hazers because they among the fastest and most consistent team whenever they perform and I like the designs of each marble.
I'm a firm believer in watching and waiting for one particular marble to catch your eye by doing something amazing! This was what made me a Raspberry Racers fan - keep an eye on Razzy, the captain:
The objective is to be the last marble to fall all the way to the bottom of the 12 funnels, and even though Razzy is the first one down to funnel 10, he manages to hang on from that precarious position and end up finishing 2nd in this qualifying heat, almost taking 1st! Sad that the commentary didn't notice how crazy the run was, though~
You know what I actually think you're right. Nice marble colour, doesn't have a name that pisses me off, underdog.
I'm a Momo fan now.
Like their design a lot, but that name man.. painfully generic.
Good shout on the first bit, but not a fan of raspberries if I'm honest. Same reason I can't really support Orangers.
M1 races 5 and 6 will still go ahead. I know the chances of marbronavirus are still high but the Rojo Rollers are pushing the FIM to keep racing.
The next two races are pre-recorded.
This is the only sport I have now. Full steam ahead, I say. There hasn't been a reported case of a marble with COVID-19.
This was the statement from Marbula One Management:
When the makers of some marble races on YouTube give you a better answer about the virus than plenty of presidents or prime ministers. Wow.
After two weeks of going strong, it was a disappointing result. Just have to hope it's the team having a rest week so they're in top shape before the second half of the season.
Absolutely brutal technical track.
One mistake and you're losing half a second to a second to a bad bump.

Hell yeah Yellup! Can't harsh my mellow! Even with number 1 position we'll end up in the middle of the pack.
Yeah, there's absolutely no rhythm in this track. I wonder what will happen when all the marbles justles for position.
But, hey, another good qualifying round for the Orangers.
O'rangers have the best fans an normally perform well. This M1 season has been rough though.
Ooooooooooorangers!
Edit: 2nd off the pole isn't bad though. Didn't help us in the first race but I've got faith in Orangin

Yeah, this race is gonna be mad. Maybe not that many passes all around but tons of bumping for sure.
Solid qualifying for Team Galactic as well, coming strong after 2 wins in 4 races.
