uh
the 2020 glass car season takes us to perhaps the most complicated course that we will see on this
year's circuit as we bring you to the sacred hills grand prix for our first race here this is the
seventh overall race of the 2020 glass car season and a chance for some of these drivers to really
establish their names as good quality drivers more so than just having good luck as you can see
part of the course there is chicane in the middle of the course which will allow these drivers to
make a decision on where they're going to go that black section of the court should be very
interesting a lot of opportunities for mistakes but a lot of opportunities as well for some
drivers to stick out from the rest of the field as you look at the championship standings here
with canarium holding a one-point lead over rattlesnake ivory's third nitro and rainforest
rounding out the top five all the way back back now to the bottom of the standings where rock
slides stay uh sits as we get ready for our qualifications for the seventh race to the
glass car season here in 2020 hello again friends glad to be with you i'm keanu biterziki here for
this qualifying session as nitro will as always start us off a little slow there coming into
the starting grid through turns one and two the self-propelling system there
now into the black portion of the course and we'll take the right side as that chicane
provides a decision for the driver on which way they want to go we'll see how many choose the
right how many choose the left as nitro starts to slow here coming through what is the final corner
and down the front stretch for a time of 24.042 seconds so that will pace the field
it's a longer lap then we are used to here black shadow will be the next to go looks like a little
better run through first two turns up and over the propelling system back now through the black
courts gonna take the left side three tenths of a second faster through that portion of the course
than nitro was so one has taken the right one has taken the left of the chicane
and through the final turn now and across the front stretch it is a time of 24 742 so while it
was a faster start to the lap really slower toward the end of that second portion of this qualifying
lap it's seven tenths of a second slower than the current pulsator nitro here is pacifica
it will come through turns one and two up and over makes hard contact there they'll take the
left side as well seven tenths of a second slower through that early portion of the course doesn't
bode well for pacifica we'll try to gain some speed here going through these final few turns
around that last turn across the front stretch in the time will be the slowest so far
25 171 over a second slower than nitro as rainforest will start here
reinforce takes that inside line goes through one and two
now through the black portion of the course we'll take the right side of the chicane
and again going through those final few turns
and the last turn of this course which really causes some of these marbles to slow across the
line it'll be a 24-242 so second fastest lap for nitro still two-tenths of a second slower than
or excuse me that was rainforest with the second fastest lap but still two tenths of
a second slower than nitro as ivory will step in top five in the standings coming into this race
like it was a little wild they're going through that turn there you can see there is some flexi
plexiglas partitions there to make sure that none of the marbles lose their course
as ivory will come through the final turn and across the front with a time of 25041
999 thousandths slower so just under a second slower that's the fourth time out of five as rock
slide last in the standings will stand in come through one and two took the inside lane there
through the black portion of the course left side of the chicane rock slide
a few more turns to go you can see if you're not smooth you're going to hit these turns
pretty hard which is going to significantly slow down momentum this will be a time of 25 2-1-1 and
that is the slowest of six so far here is canarium now our current points leader coming into the race
has had success with some qualifying sessions look good early going to take the left side
just under a half a second slower than nitro however nitro seemed to have run a really good
lap to start it nitro has done that in the past lead and won a pull as the first to go
nitro has been the first to go every time and cadarium comes across the line 25-572
but it really slowed down toward the second half of that course over a second and a half slower and
canarium runs the slowest time and by a pretty good margin almost four tenths slower than the
next closest which was rockslide as penguin will stand in here get going up and over that black
portion of the course really causing some problems if you're not hitting it right in the middle if
somebody can get through the middle it's going to cause a lot of problems for everybody else because
you can gain a lot of time there if you're not hitting portions of the course around the final
turn comes penguin and the time will clock in at a 24-372 that is the third fastest time
three tenths of a second behind and we move to angel now ninth marble to go and it has
been a so far pretty good run for nitro still in the lead after starting it off
oh man at the very end of that black portion causes a problem for angel still a pretty fast
time ahead of the pace by nitro at that portion of the course but lost a lot of speed here now
i'm gonna come through that final turn gonna have a chance to maybe do something this is not gonna
be a fast enough time for the lead but it will take a top five spot a twenty four nine four two
nine tenths of a half of a second slower than angel r than nitro but still a top five as volcano
will go now volcanoes had a rough season has looked good at points in time has struggled at
others overall the standings don't look pretty when you're looking at volcano this is a really
slow start over a second slower there as the black portion really caused some problems it's a zigzag
area of the course and a tighter zigzag than you're used to and it has really caused issues for
a lot of drivers and especially here for volcano and this will be a time of 25 672 that is the
slowest a tenth of a second behind canarium and slowest out of 10 to go dragon's tail is up now
only one more after this so dragon's tail gonna have one of the final two cracks to try to beat
out nitro two tenths of a second faster than anybody and that was a pretty good run so far
through the early portion of the course two tenths of a second faster right now is dragon's tail
can you keep the speed that's the real issue is getting through that zigzag portion of the course
continuing with the speed dragon's tail gonna come across the line and it is fast enough a 23-3-7-2
over six tenths of a second faster than nitro and the 11th to go is now the fastest and it'll be up
to rattlesnake to change that so it'll either be rattlesnake or dragon's tail who's gonna take the
lead as you see rattlesnake seems to be running pretty well through this course three tenths of
a second on top of the pace set by dragon's tail just one turn ago really picking up speed here
is rattlesnake gonna try to keep it going through the final turn this is not going to be fast enough
for the win but it will be a 24-2-1-2 which is third fastest so congratulations dragon's tail
by over six tenths of a second the 11th place in the standings driver uh dragon's tail now has
the pole position for our seventh race of the year the first time we have visited the sacred hills
grand prix and uh a very interesting qualifying session there as you see dragon's tail a 23-372 on
top nitro will start second rattlesnake rainforest and penguin the top five then black shadow
angel ivory pacifica and rockslide the top ten canarium and volcano end up as 11th and 12th off
the starting grid uh interesting to see whether or not the drivers at the front of the grid are
able to have the success that they really haven't had in the other portions of the course or the
other courses on the circuit i should say but a real issue having those pole position cars are
exclusively marbles those pole position marbles continue a lead not just throughout the first lap
or maybe the first few laps but even just through going into the first corner a lot of times by turn
one it's a hard time to see where that leading marble that pole position marble is certainly
they're not normally in the lead so hopefully for those marbles up at the top and obviously dragon
sale you hope for them that that changes uh but we will see new course new grand prix and a new
city that we are in it is sacred hills coming up for the seventh race of the 2020 glass car season
uh and so we will invite you to join us for the seventh race of glass car 2020 at sacred hills
it's our first look at this grand prix and until then i'm keanubers again you've been watching
