um
the season finale of glass car brings us back to the sacred hills grand prix and we will crown
a champion this week as we welcome you to the qualifying sessions for our final race of the
season hello again friends keanu bridges glad to be here with you as we will determine our winner
for the inaugural season of glasgow it will be a fun exciting and hopefully a satisfying end to
this season we'll begin it with our qualifying session as you have a look at the course here
and we will begin this week with quite a few drivers as you see the championship standings
that are in it to win it rattlesnake is your points leader with a four point cushion over
canarium nitro and rainforest who are all tied angel and ivory are also within single digits
so the top six all within nine points of the leader
our qualifying will give us a good look as to who's got the speed for this final week of the
year it's going to be an incredibly important race and one that will determine a champion as always
we'll start with nitro we'll once again pace the field just like almost if not every single race
through that self-propelling system and here you can really start to gain some speed
came across that first scoring loop at a nine six eight one we'll see where that stacks up with
other marbles later to go the real key is finding that speed and then keeping it through the rest
of the lap the time to beat is a 25 4 1 1 for nitro have a look there it's a tunnel almost of
coming out of that self self propelling system there you gotta be careful
make sure you land just right black shadow the next to go
making quick work of the early portion of the course i'm gonna try to pick up speed how
smooth can you go look like a better run yep six tenths of a second to the good right now
and that first scoring loop for black shadow can you keep the speed the rest of the way
they both go to the right side of that blocker in the middle and it is a 22642
2.7 seconds faster than nitro that is a huge gap
and you wonder which one whether it's black shadow was just incredibly faster if nitro was slow might
get a little more of a chance to see what we're really looking at here with pacifica who runs two
tenths of a second faster or slower excuse me than black shadow through that portion of the
course you get one scoring loop in the course and now coming across the line and pacifica is going
to beat out black shadow by a half a second a 2207.1 really did a good job in that second
portion of the course and that does not look good for nitro now over three seconds behind the leader
so it's pacifica black shadow in the nitro as rainforest one of our championship contenders
makes their qualifying session did not look good there comes across two tenths of a second ahead
of the current poll center but it looked like a little bit of back and forth there
can rainforest recover is the question the answer is not going to be enough to
at least make it close and it's a 24-742 over two and a half seconds slower than
pacifica and in third out of four so that did end up costly as ivory who is in that top six
get their qualifying run going
about the consistency there that might be a little bit of a slowing down spot is there was a little
bit of a ping uh pinball effect there across the scoring loop it was four tenths of a second
ahead but this will not be a fast enough lap to come anywhere close to that
twenty four nine seven two will be fourth out of five for ivor you really gotta be
smooth the entire way a couple of good runs from pacifica and black shadow
as our sixth marble to qualify will be rock slide
looks like has a lot of speed looks like a pretty good run right there
right around the pulsators time at that first scoring loop
keep the speed up this will not be fast enough to take the lead but it will be
fast enough to slide into third so it's going to beat out rainforest ivory and nitro
still nearly two and a half seconds slower here's canarium
looks like a really good time from those first two from those two top marbles now everybody
else coming closer to those 24 25 second times the real issue has been this bottom portion of
course for everybody been marbles right around or ahead of the poll time at the first scoring loop
but it's not translated this time will be over 25 seconds and it will be six out of seven twenty
five three one two three point two seconds slower than the current pulsar that's pacifica as penguin
across the start finish line and begin their qualifying time
a lot at stake here as you jockey for starting position for the finale race
nearly dead even right there at the first marker one thousandth of a second slower
that time is not going to translate through the bat the back portion of the course and
it will be the slowest time belonging to penguin 25 572 that is slower than nitro
and so falling into eighth place there is penguin as angel i'm gonna run
as i was saying you're gonna position yourself either in a good spot or a not so good spot
for this final race of the season we've seen on certain courses
marvel's be able to come from the back and toward the front and make moves and end up winning races
particularly the oval race because that's a 24-543 for angel but there are some races where
that hasn't happened especially coming from all the way in the back volcano can attest to that
a lot of time spent in the back of the pack for volcano
he's hoping for a good run and a strong finish to the season
certainly not in the championship contention conversation
angel by the way ran the fourth fastest time currently on the leaderboard on the top left
of your screen this time is gonna be slow over 25 nearly 26 seconds it's the slowest time belonging
to volcano who continues to struggle it has not been a good season by any stretch as dragon's
tail is gonna step up now only one more marble to go after that and that of course will be our
points leader and you have to consider the championship favorite rattlesnake
oh this might be a good run for dragon's tail got a good
exit out of that fast portion of the course but can you keep the speed that is the question
coming around this time it's not going to be fast enough to take the lead but it will be a 24
142 it's the third fastest time only behind those two that ran the really fast times that were in
the 22s those pacifica in black shadow they're one and two here is rattlesnake and the points leader
it is rattlesnakes championship toulouse and we'll see what the initial thought is from rattlesnake
here on this course better by a half a second at this point but that has not been the problem
for marbles it's been the back portion of this course keeping speed at least at the pace that
pacifica did looks like a pretty good run it will be a good run a 23-6-4-1
is third fastest and by a pretty good margin in between rattlesnake and dragon's tail
however pacifica ran a lightning fast time a 22-07-1 to capture the pole and set the stage
for the final race of the year we hope that you join us on october 1st
as we'll give you one more look at the championship standings rattlesnake will
start from third with a chance to wrap it up but still as we said six marbles within single digits
it'll be interesting to see do we get our first repeat winner seven winners in seven races
a win could very well if you're one of those top six could very well not only make you
the first ever repeat winner but it could also win you a championship so a lot to live up for
and a lot at stake for these races here in the final grand prix of the season rattlesnake will
have the advantage of a four point lead and how big will that potentially be we will find out
as we will join you on thursday october the 1st for the finale of the 2020 glass car season
but until then i'm keanu biterziki and we thank you for watching glass car on marble fuller
