um
the 2020 season of glass car continues on as we are back at the moonscape circus circuit excuse
me for the moonscape grand prix this is our sixth race of the season our qualifying video here as
we're back on an oval i'm glad to be with your friends keanu vader ziggy glad to have you here
for this qualifying race it's an oval but it's a different oval as you can see the overview of
the course there very different from the last time that we were on an oval course this one
still has the self-propelling system that will go up and change the elevation for these marbles
and you can see there are the team trailers are once again here at the moonscape circuit
and there are the championship standings so far five races in rattlesnake and nitro are atop the
leaderboard tied for first canarium third ivory and pacific at the top five all the way back to
dragon's tail who is in last place in the point standings and as always with our qualifying race
we will begin with nitro coming across the start finish line to open up this first lap
up through that propelling system very fast through turns three and four across the line
and it's a time of six point six one one pacing the field with that six and a half second time
as you have a look at the replay and a lot of air covered on that ramp where we go from the bottom
of the course up to the top here is black shadow now as the second marble to go up and over and
through turns three and four at a time of 7.072 so second place there four tenths of a second slower
interesting to see how much ground those marbles can carry and where they come back onto the course
as they'll go through the air here here is pacifica making some contact with a
couple of the barriers this looks like it's a little slow on the first portion of the course
through three and four and it is the slowest time so far seven five four two for pacifica is
nearly a second slower than the current pulsator nitro pacing the field as the first to go that
looked like the bottom portion of the course the first portion was a lot slower here's rainforest
up and through turns three and four at a time of six seven seven two that's second on the board
sixteen hundredths behind nitro we put up a six six one one that was a much better run than what
pacifica saw it hit one of those jut outs very early here is ivory taking the other side of the
course comes through up and over and now around turns one or three and four rather at a time of
six eight seven one right in the middle three out of five so far for ivory two tenths of a
second slower than the pulsator currently nitro has gotten nearly halfway through with the lead
as we hit the halfway mark in this qualifying session with rockslide six to go
heading off of one of those jut outs there now gumming going up and over the ramp through three
and four in a time of 703 or so excuse me 7.073 and that will be fifth out of six for rock slide
nitro still an illegal you can see on that replay a little weird the way that the uh
oh that's a strange case there for rockslide very uh awkward up through that ramp as canarium
one from the pole last week and we'll have to win definitely not from the pole this week
as that is a seven three seven one six out of seven now pacific is still running the last the
slowest lap and you see right there canarium two going up that top of the ramp not actually making
contact with the ramp which causes a little bit of an awkward transition back onto the course
as penguin will now go through turns one and two up through the ramp over around three and
four across the line six nine one one that is fourth fastest three tenths of a second
even behind nitro and that was a little better more smooth run through that uh ramp there
changing from the bottom portion of the course to the top portion lower lot to upper lot if you will
here's angel contact with that early marker there might cause some problems around turns three and
four and a seven four seven two it is a slow lap for angel eighth out of nine and over eight tenths
of a second slower and that problem for angel came at the very beginning of the course hitting
one of the jut outs and then a little bit awkward coming off the ramp there here's a volcano but a
rough season for volcano gonna do gonna do the same thing through turns one and two up and over
around three and four and a cross at a seven five one two and another slow lap
nine tenths of a second behind the leader volcano ninth out of ten
although i will say it looks like nitro ran a really fast lap to start us off here's dragon's
tail last in the point standings right now and a member of a controversial move in the last race
and the time is six nine four one which will be fifth fastest
and it will come down to the final competitor is nitro trying to lead from start to finish in this
qualifying session another awkward transition off the ramp and onto the second portion of the
course that upper lot and the final hope is going to be rattlesnake oh did not look good off the
start for rattlesnake around turns one and two now through three and four picking up some speed and
it's a time of six nine two seven the rattlesnake that'll be top five but for nitro it's the pole
and you can see a very smooth run there
and uh despite a rough first portion of the course still solid running for rattlesnake
it'll be top five as the starting grid is set it's nitro rainforest ivory penguin rattlesnake
the top five then dragon's tail black shadow rock slide canarium and angel the top 10 volcano
and pacifica will run the last two spots as they qualify in 11th and 12th for the sixth race of the
glass car season volcano again starting towards the back it has been a struggle for that marble
nine tenths of a second behind nitro it is the pole position by sixteen hundredths of a second
faster than the next closest for nitro who led it as the first competitor to qualify goes all the
way through with the lead and we'll take the pole position when we take the green flag in our sixth
race of the season and we'll try to do what we saw canarium do last time lead and win from the poll
which had been something that had been plaguing these fast qualifiers early in the season canarium
squashed that and made sure that that narrative of not being able to win from the pole goes away
and so now maybe a chance for nitro to go back to back from the pole
and into victory lane and so until next time we have set this uh set the lineup for our next race
until then though i'm keanu vaderzinki and thanks for watching glass car on marble fluid
