Our first venture beyond the comforts of the Crownlands for the 559 Snailula One Championship came today, as the grid travelled south to Kazan, where the House of Colborn resides. The 425 Snailula One Haeseni Racers’ Champion was Adrian Colborn and Snickelsen, while the Teams’ Championship was the joint Colborn-Vyronov venture of SNAAB Ultra Speed, with teammate Rudolf Vyronov and Snairlwind. It felt appropriate then, that our first vassal-hosted Grand Prix of the 599 Snailula One Championship be in the honour of the previous Champion.

 

A bit of a sluggish qualifying session today, the exhaustion from the long season starting to show. Eight snails made appearances today (with Princess Nadya and Elizaveta Cargot missing qualifying), though it was Mikhaila Colborn and Carlos Snailz who would take pole position at their home Grand Prix. Behind them were Princess Milena and Snailvan VIII, followed by Robert Ludovar and his new snail, Hanzo.

 

A moment of silence was held for the deceased Turboculosis, one-time race winner, who passed away following an accident at the Alban Grand Prix.

 

With the snails released off the line, it was the two frontrunners Carlos Snailz and Snailvan VIII who battled for the lead, however an early mishap for Carlos Snailz, almost spinning out, caused many of the snails to have an early pitstop round. Notably, only Tomasz Karoswald and Snail Slowuel Slimegio, as well as Prince Joren and Exalted Slugismund avoided the pits.

 

During the early parts of the race, the earth rumbled, and a great voice proclaimed that the home of House Colborn would be attacked and destroyed by some otherworldly force as soon as night fell. The HFSR eventually decided, in accordance with the wishes of the present racers, to continue the race.

 

With Snail Slowuel Slimegio and Exalted Slugismund at the head of the pack, that race momentarily settled in with Snail Slowuel Slimegio in the lead, and Exalted Slugismund pursuing. Carlos Snailz pushed intently behind to make it a win on home soil for the Colborns.

 

However, about the halfway point of the race, Carlos Snailz had been pushing too hard, spinning out and crashing into the barriers at high speed. With Carlos Snailz out of the race, the Safety Snail came out.

 

The Safety Snail came out ahead of Snail Slowuel Slimegio, allowing some of the snails further into the grid, like Shelly Duval and Snailvan VIII, to catch up. Though as the Safety Snail was released, it looked like it was either going to be Snail Slowuel Slimegio or Shelly Duval who would take the win, while Snailvan VIII and Exalted Slugismund lurked behind them.

 

Prince Aleksandr and S’Nail var Slimaki, who missed a couple of races in the middle of the season, was once more struggling to regain their form, and lingered around the back of the grid. Indeed, if Elizaveta Cargot had not been late, and started the race some ways back.

 

While Snail Slowuel Slimegio and Shelly Duval battled intently for the lead, Hanzo had an accident involving a rock suddenly on track (the HFSR has yet to rule on the matter, as it was raised by the KTSR Kvaszian Turbo SR team, that the rock had been thrown by Ser Joakim Colborn). The Safety Snail once again came out.

 

Snail Slowuel Slimegio and Shelly Duval both ducked into the pits once more, giving Snailvan VIII the on track lead. But as the Safety Snail released the snails to race once again, Snail Slowuel Slimegio and Shelly Duval quickly retook the lead, duelling as they headed towards the finish line.

 

It seemed, however, that Snail Snowuel Slimegio had not been slimed up properly during the pit, and fell back behind Shelly Duval, who would take home their first ever win. A great performance for Dima Kovachev, who was recently adopted into the Scyfling culture. A home win, in our eyes!

 

Snail Slowuel Slimegio would not take second. Indeed, Exalted Slugismund swooped past, taking home second place. Snail Slowuel Slimegio could only muster third place, a disappointing end to a promising race.

 

Snailvan VIII would take home fourth, followed by teammate S’Nail var Slimaki in fifth. Despite being some ways back, Elizaveta Cargot would come in sixth.

 

As soon as the race ended, the otherwordly forces, having waited patiently for the race to finish, immediately attacked.

 

The fans awarded Shelly Duval with the Snail of the Day Award, for their excellent race track in bringing home a Scyfling win in Kazan!
