A momentous occasion was held today, and we are not only speaking of the following snail race, but the wedding of Prince Joren of Alban to Prince Nadya of Alban (formerly Lady Nadya Weiss). We at the HFSR are extremely honoured that the two of them specifically requested that a Snailula One Haeseni Championship be added to the race calendar in their honour.

 

Prince Joren and Exalted Slugismund, who had been in pole position at the Barclay Bargains Grand Prix put in another great lap, but could not compete with the returning Robert Ludovar and Turboculosis, who put in a perfect lap to steal pole position. Behind the two started Tomasz Karoswald and Snail Slowuel Slimegio in third.

 

Converting pole to a lead was an easy feat for the well-rested Turboculosis, who, however, did get dangerously close to scraping the wall early on. This caused widespread panic, and an early pitstop round for Snail Slowuel Slimegio, Thorim and Drorg, Mikhaila Colborn and Carlos Snailz (who headed into the race as championship leader), Princess Milena and Snailvan VIII, Dima Kovachev and Shelly Duval, Anaksandr Amador and Shellnon Slugaine de Snailstaff, and Andrei Kortrevich and Shelldrei.

 

The pitstop round was all for naught, as Turboculosis went on with the race without damage, being closely followed behind by a new debutant, Sergei var Ruthern and Slimealicious, while Snail Slowuel Slimegio followed in third. The three began to pull away from the rest of the pack.

 

However, a safety snail in the middle of the race would tighten the grid some. It was the groom’s snail, Exalted Slugismund, who had spun out and hit the wall. This caused a length safety snail, which saw Snail Slowuel Slimegio close the gap to Slimealicious. The championship was blown wide open as, during the safety snail, Carlos Snailz oversped into one of the corners, hitting the barriers forcefully. 

 

When the race opened again, Slimealicious and Snail Slowuel Slimegio were side by side down the finish straight, but it was Slimealicious who took the win on their debut, with Snail Slowuel Slimegio finishing second.

 

After the two first steps of the podium were claimed, Turboculosis was involved in a serious crash, which saw the safety snail come out once again. The pack bunched up, with King Karl’s Lightning McKoenas, Snailvan VIII, Drorg, and Princess Isabel’s Swift Foot all battling for the final podium spot.

 

However, it was Drorg who would end up taking third place. Snailvan VIII came home fourth. Swift Foot in fifth, and Lightning McKoenas in sixth.

 

Shelly Duval would take home seventh place, some ways behind the previous four, but also ahead of the remaining four behind.

 

It was a slow race for the bride, Princess Nadya and Elizaveta Cargot, though they would eventually take him eighth. Prince Aleksandr made his return to Snailula One, having been absent for the two previous races, and mustered only ninth place. Shelldrei improved greatly upon their previous appearance, finishing tenth.

 

Shellnon Slugaine de Snailstaff, who had run a controversial pitstop strategy consisting of a whole six stops, reaped what they had sown, and finished in a historical eleventh place. This is the first time anyone has finished in a position that did not score points since the 356 Snailula One Haeseni Championship (it is noted that this championship was held before the formation of the HFSR and before the implementation of proper regulations for the sport, back then, snails raced with heavily protective gear, and it was nearly impossible to crash).

 

The fans awarded Shelldrei with the Snail of the Day Award, for managing to move off the first tile.

 

In honour of the fallen Turboculosis, who passed away during the race in an unfortunate accident, we shall hold a minute of silence before the Kazan Grand Prix.

Princess Milena found that these early days of retirement could be very fruitful afterall. Smugly did she prepare for the next Snailula race.
