um
the inaugural season of glass car here on marvel cubicle rolls on as we make our
second stop here at city moonscape for our fifth race of the season
in our third circuit and hopefully another exciting race on tap on the left side of your
screen is the qualifying from earlier for this match-up it'll have dragon's tail on the pole
rockslide canarium angel and ivory the top five hello again friends piano piercing glad to be
here with you for the fifth race of this season in glass car 2020 we are back at the city moonscape
where we had a lot of issues with that plexiglas barrier earlier that has been adjusted a little
bit here for this race as you see the championship standings on the screen rattlesnake is the points
leader nitro canarium angel and volcano the top five dragon's tail is last in the point
standings but first on the starting grid today and hopefully a chance to turn the tides for dragon's
tail starting from the pole our last pulsator was canarium who overcame the challenges of being the
pulsator that we've seen early in the season and ultimately ended up winning the race at the
city moonscape here in what was our fourth race a different configuration it is a 13 lap race
somewhere around 20 to 22 seconds will be the time per lap based on what we saw from qualifying and
here we go let's see if dragon's tail can keep the lead into the first turn the answer is no
once again it is a problem out of the gate for the pole sitter lots of contact between the marbles
coming through dragon's tail is back in the lead now followed closely by ivory nitro canarium
rockslide and rainforest those are the top six and it looks like they're all kind of separated there
volcano keeping uh keep an eye on volcano nearly lapped on this course
earlier uh in our previous race before actually leaving the race due to an incident
that ended their day early they dropped back to 11th it's rattlesnake back and last right now and
the lead belongs to dragon's tail and that's the fastest lap so far lap two 21041 for dragon's tail
the current fastest lap they're the leader over nitro ivory rainforest and canarium the top five
and a pretty good size lead at the moment as nitro trying to fend off ivory and i'm gonna
try to gain some momentum and that lead is now another fastest lap dragon's tail runs at 21.020
but here comes the rest of the field and dragon's tail now having to hold off some competitors ivory
and rainforest are there volcano is yet again in last as rattlesnake has made a pass there angel
and penguin hanging out in the back as well and it is a three-way race right now before you get
back to canarium rainforest just made a pass for second gotta try to make a pass for the lead right
now it's two tenths of a second or was moments ago between ivory and dragon's tail now a close match
maybe some contact there and into the lead goes rainforest who just ran its fastest lap a 28-7-2
to take the lead we're almost halfway through this race already very quick pace you can see some of
the marvel's able to use that exit ramp for their satisfaction for success but some have had a hard
time with it rattlesnake having a hard time with everything rainforest just ran another fast lap
a 27-7-1 however it is tight it's a four-way race and the new leader is rock slide followed by ivory
dragon's tail and rainforest drops back to fourth after entering that area with the lead rockslide
trying to gain the advantage now here comes ivory gonna make a pass for first they are close and now
there's a few more marbles that are getting in there ivory takes the lead rainforest drops back
into second rockslide now makes that pass back and ivory has a little bit of an advantage here
and there is an incident with rockslide rockslide is off the course we'll have to have a look at the
replay and see exactly what happened but rockslide holding second place i believe at the time
let's have a look and see exactly what did happen as you can see rockslide is that first marble
oh contact oh my that is a disaster with some contact with i believe that was nitro
and rockslide will not finish this race it's a second straight race here at the city moonscape
in which one at least one of the competitors will not finish and it was dragon's tail who made that
contact with rockslide and we're getting word that they're going to have an internal investigation
that make sure there was no foul play there meanwhile dragon's tail still competing for a win
ivory is the leader pacifica has moved up to third rainforest is in fourth canarium holding
strong in fifth as dragon's tail had some contact that may have led or may have just been incidental
with rockslide to end up out of the race as dragon's tail coming up and they are going to
put a punishment on dragon's tail a five-second penalty a huge penalty and so dragon's tail
competing for the lead but not really having a chance rattlesnake is about to get lapped here
and that would be the first marble in the history of glass car to get lapped remember
volcano was nearly lapped last time there's only two laps left so that may not end up
happening it's ivory in the lead pacifica has just passed for second they're gonna come up and
over and there is the lap i believe yep ivory's gonna make that pass it is pacifica in second
pacifica trying to get around rattlesnake who's now kind of serving as for a moment
there a pick for ivory as we've gone into the final lap ivory with the lead over pacifica
rainforest third dragon's tail remember has a five-second penalty currently running in fourth
here comes pacifica trying to come through making it close pacifica right up on the bumper
of ivory as they come around to the final couple turns can pacifica make the move
through the last turn across the line it is ivory with the win and it's gonna be
a close finish that was 12 000 of a second
it happened from a different angle it was right on the bumper was pacifica
who will take second rainforest is third dragon's tail comes across the line fourth but they are
gonna have a five-second penalty added to them canarium nitro angel penguin black shadow volcano
and then rattlesnake and then of course the dnf for rockslide who is having a very solid run
but unfortunately
some contact there causes some problems uh dragon still end up getting seventh place
after the penalty is assessed as you can see ivory a big gainer for uh pacifica who picks up eight
positions once again volcano despite gaining two spots really really struggles finishing in tenth
and dropping back to eighth in the standings as you have a look now at the updated standings it
is now a tie between nitro and rattlesnake atop the boards canaria moves to third
ivory is fourth now and fifth is pacifica in the standings as we have a look at our replay here
and some of our highlights from this very fast pace and wild race and again issues coming out
of the gate there for the pulsator which has caused problems in the past and it did here
you can see some marbles having success others
like right there you saw volcano and penguin have a hard time even getting to the exit ramp
which caused some real issues for them and they ended up toward the back volcano
uh rattlesnake and penguin consistently in the back of the pack for the majority of this race
you saw there was where rockslide began to become a part of this competition dragon's tail
obviously didn't like it from what we're gonna see momentarily and here it is so you can see there's
rock slide in the front dragon's tails in the back they both come down perfectly fine contact
there between the two sends rock slide over and that determination was that although it seemed
like there was a lot of momentum being gained the determination clearly was that that was a
inappropriate action being made by the pulsator and so that ends up costing
five seconds on the finishing time of dragon's tail uh obviously
that is gonna be one that's gonna be talked about the decision was made and uh it's unfortunate for
dragon sale obviously even more unfortunate for rockslide unable to finish this race as you see
the last couple of turns i'll tell you what pacifica made a chat made a a run at it but
ultimately a good job of staying in the line of sight by ivory and they came across the line not
enough for pacifica to make a move and have a chance at the win so they will take second they
had the fastest lap though lap number 13 it was the last lap and it was the fastest lap
of the race it belonged to the runner-up pacifica rainforest takes third but they all wish they were
ivory right now as ivory gets the win and has now moved into fifth place in the championship
standings a very interesting race here at the city moonscape for our fifth race of the season another
marble that doesn't uh isn't able to finish that due to maybe contact with the course but maybe
uh slightly made uh definitely more significant by the fact that there was contact with another
competitor there we saw our first marble get lapped and that by the way is the points
leader rattlesnake who ends up last or well 11th last on the track and ends up a lap down
as it was a very strange race for rattlesnake ultimately though ivory gets the win
and did it with a pretty convincing fashion and so we are now five races through
and it is a tight race at the top of the championship point standings
until next time i'm keanu bittersicki and you've been watching glass car on marvel fubicon
