um
the moonscape grand prix at the moonscape circus here host of our fifth race of the first ever
season of glass car 2020 kiana basically glad to be here with you for our commentary and our
fifth race of the season qualifying here at the moonscape circuit a little bit different
as you'll see the self-propelling system is in place yet again but a little different
uh in the way that the marbles will react to that system which should hopefully give us uh
hopefully we won't have a any kind of issues with any of the marbles uh wrecking that was a an issue
that was brought up in our last race of course volcano had an issue that uh ultimately cost
them any chance as you look at our standings overall for the championship it is rattlesnake
nitro canarium coming off the wind angel and volcano the top five volcano gonna have to
rebound after that poor race last time as you can see there is the new element that green ramp
down will allow these marbles to hopefully gain some momentum coming up that large wall and our
first chance chance to try it out is going to be nitro coming through turns one and two and now
up through that propelling system and look like it actually may have missed that green arrow the
green arrows there on the ramp which might slow down nitro came across that first timer at a nine
seven seven two three the last couple of corners and across the finish line with a time of 22 141
and let's have a look at the replay
yep completely missed that ramp looks like it actually hit some of the
extra siding there here's black shadow up next returns one and two now up to the propelling
system and it looked like i think black shadow may have missed it as well a little more speed though
it seemed and three tenths of a second better at the first scoring pylon for black shadow
we'll hope to keep that speed up now through the final turn and across the finish line with a time
of 21 772 better by 36 hundredths of a second to take the lead let's have a look at the replay
and black shadow just barely caught the bottom of that ramp if you can time it well and just
get the right amount uh amend excuse me amount of momentum then an opportunity to really gain
some speed there let's see what pacifica can do pacifica got some speed up into the chicane there
and it was a six tenths of a second back of the leader
at that point that's the slowest time through that first scoring area and across the line for
pacifica a time of twenty two one seven one which will be three hundredths of a second slower than
nitro and third out of the three to qualify and again a complete miss this is going to be a feel
thing for these marbles trying to figure out where exactly they need to land how much speed they need
to take up into that propelling system in order to put themselves in the best spot here is rainforest
coming down and through and over a second slower than black shadow
we've seen in the past some of these marbles as the track gets more and more worn and a
little warmer with more heat from these marbles coming off that it has cost them
those that were running at the beginning were running slower times however black shadow ran
second they're still fastest as rainforest takes over second and ivory will now run
and tough to see how much contact was made there with the ramp after
it looks like a slow lap here for ivory but now
trying to pick up some speed coming across the line it'll be a time of 21670 and look at that
look like for a moment ivory wasn't moving as fast as needed but ivory's gonna end up taking the
lead for the moment and some hard contact at the bottom of that ramp may have actually propelled
ivory to gain some speed there here's rockslide as ivory takes over the pole position rock slide
oh nice move by rock slide very solid contact with that ramp and let's see if it ends up being
helpful that's obviously you would think the hope for these marbles is that if you can make
good contact and in a good spot with the ramp then it can help you propel forward and that
time will be a twenty one four seven one and it is enough for rockslide to take the lead
let's have a look at a very well executed ramp not the best but much better than we've seen from any
of the other five marbles to go rockslide is the new pole sitter here's canarium who took the pole
and won the race from the lead position and another good contact with that green ramp
coming down after you make that large trek up the wall
and canarium trying to bring speed yet again maybe be a two-time winner here it is across the line
oh look how close that is 1 1 000 of a second rockslide is going to retain the lead for just
a moment and another good job of momentum building with that exit of the ramp there
as penguin will be the new marble on the course that's a heartbreaker for canarium
to lose out on for the moment the pole position by just one one thousandth of a second had to
gain that speed toward the end of the course was off by about a tenth of a second to begin with
as penguin makes it through the final turn we'll come across the line slower by seven tenths of a
second that is the slowest time england runs a 201 let's see if there was an issue there
it looked like uh you can see that plastic piece on the side a barrier on the side of the ramp
a little bit of contact there for penguin with that part here is angel who won the closest race
in the brief history of glasgow twelve thousandths of a second at the oval and right now pretty on
pace three thousands off the pole right now that's rock slide at twenty one four seven is going to
come across that final turn and through with a time of 21 602 that'll be good enough for third
a little more than a tenth of a second off the pace of the leader
see the spinning and yeah you know what if angel had been able to get that right momentum which
is going to be something that during this race you're going to have to learn to do may
had a chance at the pole here's volcano volcano really needs a better run this time a very hard
uh learning curve for volcano and our first race at the moonscape circuit ended up not finishing
came off the course after hard contact with the plexiglas but was about to be lapped anyway let's
see what he does in terms of time it'll be the slowest time over a tenth of a row excuse me
over a full second slower than the pulsator right now that's rock slide and four tenths of a second
slower than the next marble so really volcanoes starting to struggle here despite being top
five in the points here's dragon's tail dragon's tail looks like completely missed that exit ramp
we'll see if that costs but right now dragon tail dragon's tail is in pole position as they
came across that scoring area let's see coming through that final turn is it gold for dragon's
tail it is 21.072 and dragon's tail with just one marble left is now in the pole position i
don't think dragon's tail made any contact yet not even close to making contact with that exit ramp
which has clearly been a challenge and now here is rattlesnake the points leader is the final
marble to go will have an opportunity the last opportunity at the pole and again no contact there
coming out of the turn up against the chicane a little slow tenth of a second back of the leader
right now dragon's tail trying to hold on get the pull almost full four tenths of a second
faster than the next closest marble it will be a pole 22 0 0 to put rattlesnake in eighth
and dragon's tail will start from the pole at the moonscape circuit for the fifth race of the season
so some different uh strategies being played out there some of them worked some of them didn't
dragon's tail will start first rockslide second canarium by one one thousandth of a second will
end up starting third angel fourth ivory fifth black shadow rainforest rattlesnake nitro pacifica
penguin and all the way back to volcano as that starting grid is now set for the fifth race
which will be here at the moonscape circuit and it should be yet another entertaining exciting
race that ramp there is going to cause maybe some issues as you'll have a bunch of marbles
going through that self-propelling system up the wall all at once and potentially some hard contact
hopefully no incidents and we hope that everybody will be able to make it through this race today
and hopefully provide more entertaining content so until next time we are getting ready for race five
of glass car 2020 2020. we hope to see you then i'm keanu vaderzek and thanks for watching marvel
