Wait expensive how? 

They had to travel to Austria and stay at a resort for a week to film some of the snow events. I remember they had issues with the weather and equipment while they were there too.

Wow I had no clue about that.

Just caught up with the final event.  Very proud of Mellow Yellow, after a terrible season they were up & challenging all race and finally climbed off last to 14th place.  Close season will be a difficult time with fans & sponsors insisting on big changes from the team management.

New Series started last night folks - the 2020 Sand Rally.  

 

To me, the purest form of Marble Racing!  All marbles line up at the top of a hill - quickest marble to the bottom of the hill wins!

Should mention I’ll be supporting the immortal Red Number 3 this series.

Nothing brings people together like the magic of Red Number 3 

 

We’ll be supporting the same marble this time around.

Disappointing again - second race in a row Red Number 3 got stuck mid-pack and failed to put in his trademark audacious passing moves.  Difficult late season sand conditions to blame.

Sadly Red Number 3 failing to adapt himself to this new hill in Bregtdorp, well behind in 18th place again.  Unfortunately I think there’s a bit of ego involved - if he’s not at the front contending with the leaders he just loses interest & fades away.
