I recently spent hours watching a Drone Racing League event. It was surprisingly entertaining.

if you like marble racing you may enjoy bike racing

i recommend this poo poo show

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDScj91sBQs

sets of two racers go fast around in circles with one of their laps counting, tag team style, there are more rules, but only few know them

I don't like this because one of the marbles has to win to the exclusion of all the others.

Still on this rabbit hole, there's even a fan podcast about it and they cover all the stuff that's going on, that's awesome. They made a new short one which is an introduction/beginners' guide to everything: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0TW16a9GnccEPspQ0etEw8?si=bXfQUi57Q5ayTMqszUOs2Q

I love that a type of human exist that can get so loving hype for anything and having them simply be the announcer for anything makes it enjoyable.

Ok, this is pretty cool too. I didn't think drones would sound like F1 cars though.

What precautions are taken to prevent cheating? A dishonest racing marble owner could easily conceal a small engine in their marble, and steer it using electromagnets.

I like how he treats the marbles like they are people, just sitting here imagining really tiny nascar drivers inside the marbs

I just realized all of the Tracks on Marbula 1 are all "hometown" tracks for all of the Marble teams and that the next event is Short Circuit which is the Thunderbolt's track and that is actually pretty clever.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I remember randomly stumbling across some of these and in one of them the marbles in the crowd were getting too rowdy because their team lost, they were throwing things on the track and then were all expelled from the stadium for bad behaviour
