Marbula One Season 4 was the fourth season of Marbula One.
The O'rangers were the defending team champions, while Red Eye of the Crazy Cat's Eyes was the defending individual champion.
Changes in Season 4[]
- A new conveyor belt was introduced. It is taller than the previous one, and it is gray instead of red.
- The number of races has been decreased from 12 to 10.
Qualifying system[]
The qualifying system was retained from Season 3.
- ROUND 1: All 20 marbles get one flying lap to set a time. The 10 slowest marbles are eliminated from qualifying, and take those respective grid positions for the race (slowest time starts in P20, fastest time of all eliminated marbles starts in P11).
- ROUND 2: The top 10 marbles from the previous round participate in a 3-lap race-off, with grid positions being determined from the results of Round 1. After the race-off concludes, all marbles take their respective grid positions for the race according to their finishing position in this race-off (last to finish starts in 10th, 1st to finish starts from pole position).
Scoring system[]
The scoring system was retained from Season 3, with points awarded to the top 15 finishers, bonus points for the 3 highest-ranked marbles in qualifying, and a bonus point for the fastest lap time.
