IIRC, he's the short track type that the IRL was meant to bring over into the American openwheel fold, but he got snatched away by larger evil powers.

Basically he got taken by Brawn F1 and scraped over the line to the 2009 F1 title, despite rubbish car development.

True story.
Oh well that explains why Jenson Button is playing with NASCAR things this year.... trying to regain his seemingly lost WDC from 2009. :idunno: :smiley:

Thinks.... is it to do with the fact that the NASCAR headmaster has an F1 GP name.... Bill (or is it Jim?) "the Frog" France. :wink:

He has competed in 774 NASCAR races without ever tasting victory, which is a record. I guess this means the 2009 F1 grid wasn't very good at all... :whistling:

Hey, they have qualifying sprints, too! And what can I say, it was fabulous. I don't know what you guys like about qualifying, but for me those three sprint laps were FAR more exciting than the whole tedious single lap qualifying procedure.

Great session.

Unexpected resulted. I thought there would be more track degradation.

Shaping up to be a really competitive season.

As a massive Billy fan, that was terrific.

Yeah, but wait for the race proper. I guess the Sand Causeway will go away within a few laps of marbleous pounding, and then they will all be struggling for grip!

My fear is that Balls of Chaos's *cough* illegal *cough* off-season shaker rig work will help them ride the bumps better when the degradation sets in.

God I hate those guys. Always skirting the rules.

They need a cost cap.... there were some very highly developed and expensive looking marbles there with special surfaces. :haha:

First round of the Marble Rally Season 6, and it was a debut win (!!) for Amethyst, from Ghost Plasma and Wisp of Darkness, although I have to say I would expect the latter to be disqualified after his dirty move on then-leader Crazy Cat's Eye, who had to retire as a consequence. I just don't care for this dirty way of dr..., uh, rolling.

Mods, can we have a seperate sub-forum for Marble Rally? Otherwise, I think the Rally posts will get lost in the deluge of Marbula One threads that are going to appear soon.

Disgusting rolling. The worst I've ever seen :sly:.

Well, at least the worst since the lunge Big Pearl made in 2016 :aggro:.

A rather dominant victory I'm afraid, made in solidarity with King Charles.

Incredibly tight midfield though. I wonder if one of the teams can roll ahead with an update before the next race?
