Report

The conditions of the weather were sunny, with the temperature being 12 °C and the sand in good condition.

After strong 2nd place finishes and a disappointing 13th result last race, Red Number 3 was hungry for their 2018 win. Starting front and center in P6, they exploded with a start so fast the camera had trouble catching up to them. They took the lead and kept their pace consistently throughout the race to stretch their lead even more, while the battle for 2nd grew intensely. Slimer had a strong start, but a poor corner entry caused them to slowly drop out of contention for what would be their first podium of the 2018 season. With a DNF from midfield runner Comet, the top marbles that were gambling for the silver medal were Black Knight and Phoenix. Black Knight took the runner up's position comfortably, albeit it was overshadowed by an even more comfortable Red Number 3. This victory overtook their previous year's record for biggest margin of victory in the Sand Marble Rally, and also propelled them to the top of the standings.
