The Savage Speeders are a red, yellow and white team that debuted in Marble League 2016, and are represented by Speedy, Rapidly, Velocity and Swifty, with Whizzy as their reserve.
Regarded as one of the best teams in all of Marble Sports, the Savage Speeders hail from the European cities of Accellaise, Pace, and Vellis. They were already professional marble athletes themselves, even before Marble League, having competed in Le Tour de Vellis. They are also known to be secretive about their training methods.[1] The team would qualify for Marble League 2016 after their victory at the Le Tour de Vellis in 2015. The Savage Speeders would become the first Marble League champions, winning Marble League 2016 with four gold medals and 44 points. They would then finish in 2nd place in 2017 and 2018, losing out to the O'rangers and the Midnight Wisps respectively. The team would also finish in 5th in Marble League 2019 despite a strong start to the season.
In Marble League 2020, the Savage Speeders would win the Marble League for the second time with 202 points and 7 medals after a poor start to the season, which saw them being in last place overall for the first time in their history. They would finish 7 points ahead of their rivals, the O'rangers. Their streak of top-5 finishes in the Marble League would end in 2021, when they finished 12th in the Marble League after poor performances in the final two events of the season. In Marble League 2022, the Savage Speeders would win 4 medals as they finished 4th, 15 points behind Team Galactic in 3rd place. The Savage Speeders are currently competing in Marble League 2023. The team is also well known for their stellar performances in the Relay Race, having won the event five times in six Marble Leagues.
The Savage Speeders are also renowned for their performances in Marbula One, as they won the first season of Marbula One with 101 points, with Speedy also winning the individual championship as well. They would finish as runners-up in Marbula One Season 2 with 122 points, having won 5 medals, though lost by over 60 points to a dominating Crazy Cat's Eyes. Their performance would drop in Marbula One Season 3, as they finished 12th with 75 points, having only won a silver at the Short Circuit Grand Prix. The Savage Speeders were invited back to compete in Marbula One Season 4, where both Speedy and Swifty would win four medals and 143 points to win the team championship for the second time in Marbula One history, marking the first time that the Savage Speeders won repeat titles in both the Marble League and Marbula One.
Overall, the Savage Speeders hold a number of Marble League records due to their successes in Marble Sports, being the most successful team in terms of all time points in the Marble League, gold medals, and total medals. They are also currently the second most successful team in Marbula One by both medal count and by all-time total points. They are also the first team to surpass 1000 Marble League points. The Savage Speeders are also one of the few teams to compete in every edition of the Marble League.
The Savage Speeders are also well known for their long-standing rivalry with the O'rangers due to both teams' status as two of the most successful teams in Marble Sports.

History[]
Pre-Marble League[]
The Savage Speeders come from three cities – Accellaise, Pace and Vellis, each of which are individually known for their cultural, artistic, and economic significance. Speedy and Rapidly are siblings from Accellaise, Velocity comes from Pace, and Swifty and Whizzy are friends who hail from Vellis.
The five met in 2010 during the Tour de Vellis, a marathon event held in Vellis and running throughout the region. Speedy and Rapidly had previously competed in local tournaments at Accellaise, so they had no hesitation forming a team with Velocity, Whizzy and Swifty when Velocity brought up the idea. The five trained vigorously over the next two years in order to qualify for the marathon. After successfully qualifying, they then made headlines by finishing in fifth, a feat unheard of for a rookie team.
The team disclosed very little about their training as they consider it one of their most important secrets. They continued to compete in the next three years, never finishing below the top five. In 2014, they won the Tour for the first time, and repeated that victory the next year. The public started to compare the team to the unstoppable force of early berserkers, describing them as "savage". The team liked it and decided to adopt that word for themselves, becoming the Savage Speeders.[4]
2016[]
The Savage Speeders were approached by Greg Woods to see whether they were interested in taking part in Marble League 2016. After accepting Woods' invitation, the team announced they would retire from the Tour de Vellis. They purchased a stadium in Accellaise and named it Le Course de Sauvage. The lack of explanation led to widespread confusion and disappointment from fans.
The Savage Speeders competed in Marble League 2016, but due to the roster limit Whizzy elected to watch from the sidelines. The team started Marble League 2016 fairly inauspiciously, finishing fifth in Event 1, Balancing. They earned their first gold medal and set a new Marble League Record in the Event 2, the Relay Race. After accumulating a single point throughout the next three events, the team was starting to fall behind, before Velocity won gold in Event 6, the Water Race, and Rapidly won again in Event 8, the 10 Meter Sprint, breaking another Marble League Record.
The next three events were quiet, with the team failing to earn any points but still holding on to second place, until the final Hurdles event. Speedy had a solid first race, winning by 0.20 seconds and qualifying for the finals. Here they met the Thunderbolts and Mellow Yellow, preliminary first and third place respectively. With only two points separating the three, whomever won this would win the entire season. The final race is widely regarded as one of the best events in Marble League history, with less than 0.03 seconds separating the top three teams. It came down to a photo finish between Speedy and Yellup of Mellow Yellow, which revealed that Speedy had won by 0.01 seconds, winning their team their fourth gold of Marble League 2016, and in turn the championship. The final race of the hurdles event holds the record for the closest grand final race in Marble League history.
Following their victory, the Speeders went around the world on a victory tour. The tour ended with the team arriving in Vellis, where a day-long parade was held along the same route as the year's Tour de Vellis. The team were presented with an honorary key to the city, leading to the team hashtag, "#SpeedIsKey".
Over the next six months, the Savage Speeders revealed nothing to the public about their offseason training, which becomes standard practice for the team. Their stadium is usually closed to the public and is guarded by local police. In response, some marble sports fans posted joke events on MarBook every year, which involved raiding the stadium in an attempt to discover the team's secrets. None have ever happened, although one year a streaker rolled past the stadium and was apprehended by security.[4]
2017[]
Since the Savage Speeders had won the previous Marble League, they automatically qualified for Marble League 2017. Whizzy took Velocity's place on the roster, participating in Event 1, the Funnel Race, placing fourth. This was followed by a sixth place finish for Rapidly in Event 2, the Long Jump, and an 11th place finish for the team in Event 3, Fidget Spinner Collision. With only 27 points after three events, the Speeders were ranked 11th overall.
However, the Savage Speeders proved their status with a silver medal for Speedy in the 5-meter Sprint, followed by another silver for Swifty in the Hurdles. The team jumped to first overall, then pushed their lead to 22 points with a gold medal in Event 6, the Relay Run. They hovered around a 20-point lead for the next two events, Block Pushing and High Jump. They then went on to win another gold medal in Event 9, the Steeplechase. The team remained in the lead after the event, and were 27 points ahead of Mellow Yellow.
Despite their dominating lead, the team struggled with keeping up their momentum. They would not medal again for the rest of the tournament. Event 10 and 11, Archery and the Underwater Race, saw the team earning only seven points combined. Meanwhile, a resurgent O'rangers rose to second overall, going into the last event only ten points behind the Speeders after a silver in the Underwater Race.
Swifty had the responsibility of defending the first place in the last event, the Sand Rally. However, they failed to live up to expectations, getting knocked out in the first round. Clementin of the O'rangers finished second in the finals, passing the Speeders by only six points overall to win the League. The Savage Speeders ended the season as a sour runner-up, but still automatically qualified for Marble League 2018.[4]
2018[]
The Savage Speeders disappeared from the public for much of the off-season, and made their next public appearance at the Marble League 2018 Friendly Round. Velocity rejoined the team as the reserve member. The Speeders placed third in every event, ending the friendlies in last place. The Speeders were not happy with their performance.
Marble League 2018 for the Savage Speeders was characterized by waves of good and bad performances. Swifty opened with a bronze medal in the 5 Meter Ice Dash, behind the Oceanics and rookie Hazers. However, Speedy faltered in the Ski Jump, placing last and putting the team ninth overall.
Reserve Velocity was called in to replace Speedy for the next team event, the Halfpipe, after the latter's poor performance. The move won them a silver medal, despite placing last in the first round of the event. The alternating pattern continued with a 13th finish in Event 4, the Bobsled, another silver in Event 5, Speed Skating, placing 12th in Team Pursuit, and finally their third silver medal in the Snow Rally, where Whizzy narrowly lost to Momo of Team Momary, taking them into the lead overall. Despite taking them to first, this is the point many fans suggest is where the Speeders lost the tournament.
A disappointing Event 9, Curling, where the team placed 11th, finally knocked the Speeders into third place, where they remained after placing eighth in Event 10, the Biathlon. With only two events left and only 41 points separating 1st and 13th place, the final two events would be an open race with the Speeders in 3rd a clear favorite. They managed bronze in Ice Hockey, but Whizzy lost the finals of the Sand Mogul Race narrowly to Wispy of the Midnight Wisps. The Wisps, having placed first in the previous event, jumped from tenth first in only two events, eclipsing the Speeders by only one point and winning Marble League 2018.
The Savage Speeders made two public appearances during the off-season. Whizzy represented the team in the 100 Meter Water Race, where they finished sixth. The team also took part in the Amazing Maze Marble Race. In the group stage the Speeders placed second, but qualified for the semifinals thanks to their high points. The team went on to the final where they finished third.[4]
2019[]
The Savage Speeders' next public appearance was at the Marble League 2019 Friendly Round, which they again attended due to their automatic qualification for Marble League 2019. Once again, the team finished in last with only nine points, failing to win any events.
In late February 2019, the Savage Speeders hired Quickly as their coach. After observing the team members' pent-up frustration from missing out on the last two Marble League championship titles, Quickly deduced the team blamed the other teams for their losses instead of trying to get over those losses, leading to a lot of toxic energy. Quickly advised them to transmute their toxic energy into a positive performance.
The Savage Speeders had a strong start to Marble League 2019, with a gold medal for Rapidly in the first event, the Underwater Race, followed by another gold for Speedy in Event 2, the Funnel Race. Afterwards, the team slipped in performance, placing within the top half in only three of the next seven events. Whizzy shocked everyone by placing last in Event 5, the 5 Meter Sprint, and the team slipped to second in the overall standings. The next events were not much better, with the team dropping to 7th place by Event 9, the Hurdles Race. A bronze medal in the Hubelino Maze brought the team up to fourth in standings.
The next event, the Dirt Race, set the tone for the rest of the season. Swifty qualified for the final. They nearly crashed out during the first third of the final, but with a burst of speed, they rolled past Ducky of the Green Ducks into first. However, just before the finish line, Pinky Toe of the Pinkies zoomed down the course out of nowhere, ending up just behind Swifty, who promptly responded by trying to block them. Pinky Toe got past Swifty and won the Pinkies their first ever gold medal. Swifty was so stunned, they didn't even notice they were passed by Ducky. Rozzy of the Raspberry Racers beat them for the bronze medal by five-hundredths of a second.
The Savage Speeders were left trailing the top three teams by twenty points. A string of mediocre finishes followed. After Event 14, Surfing, the team could still finish in the top three with good finishes in the final two events, but they fell apart and came last in Event 15, Collision. They fell to fifth, losing out on fourth to Mellow Yellow. Rapidly could not turn this around as they finished the final event, the Sand Rally, in fifth. The Savage Speeders concluded Marble League 2019 in fifth overall, the team's worst result so far. Not only was this the first time they had finished outside of the top three, this was also the first time they would not automatically qualify for a Marble League tournament.
Despite their disappointing performance, the team were invited to take part in Marbula One Season 1. The team promptly accepted the invitation, and chose Speedy and Rapidly, going by the nicknames of "Speed Freak" and "Maroon Missile" respectively, to represent them. The Savage Speeders had also been selected to host the first ever Marbula One Grand Prix. The rest of the team went on to prepare Le Course de Sauvage for Marbula One, building the course themselves. They named the course the Savage Speedway, and also renamed the stadium to clear up confusion.[4]
2020[]
Marbula One Season 1[]
Speedy was selected to take part in the Savage Speedway Grand Prix and, during the qualifiers, set a time of 31.20 seconds. Unfortunately, everyone else managed to beat that time and they qualified in last place. However, Speedy was able to make up for it in the race. By lap 3, they had moved up into third place, and Speedy eventually finished the race in fifth, earning ten points and also an extra point for setting the fastest lap.
Rapidly debuted at the second Grand Prix, the O'raceway Grand Prix, and qualified in sixth. During the race, Rapidly managed to enter the top five and stayed there for most of the race. They only left the top five when they assisted Wospy of the Midnight Wisps, who had fallen off the conveyor belt and stopped rolling. Their bump got Wospy moving again. Rapidly climbed up the ranks again into second, and closed in on Billy of the Green Ducks. Ultimately, Rapidly was unable to surpass them and finished in second place. The Savage Speeders rose to third in the team standings.
Living up to their name, the Savage Speeders continued to do well in the next two events. Speedy came sixth at the Momotorway Grand Prix, while Rapidly got another second place finish at the Hivedrive Grand Prix. This put them into first in the individual racers' standings and helped the Savage Speeders stay in third in the team standings.
However, Rapidly was tired from their last Grand Prix and finished the Greenstone Grand Prix in 15th place. Coach Quickly decided to put Speedy in for the Short Circuit Grand Prix, where they finished in third after leading the race for four of the laps. This put the Savage Speeders into first overall, but Rapidly lost the lead in the individual standings. Rapidly managed to redeem themselves by finishing seventh in their last Grand Prix, the Razzway Grand Prix, but the team dropped to second, fourteen point behind the Hazers, thanks to Smoggy's race win there. Rapidly was no longer able to win the individual Racers' Championship.
The Savage Speeders went into the final looking to win the first ever Marbula One season, just like in Marble League 2016. Speedy captured pole position at the Qualifiers at the Midnight Bay Grand Prix, which was unfortunately mired in controversy due to the fact that they started their qualifying lap a few seconds after Clementin of the O'rangers started their lap. Even though Speedy was found to have gained no advantage from their early start, some angry fans started to accuse the Savage Speeders of cheating.
Speedy shot into the lead from the beginning, staying there for all but two of the laps. Their fight for the lead with Prim of Team Primary notwithstanding, Speedy was still able to finish the race in first, earning them the much-desired individual Racers' Championship title. With Hazy of the Hazers finishing in eighth, the Savage Speeders had also won the Marbula One Season 1 Teams' Championship. Rapidly finished in sixth in the individual Racers' Championship.[4]
Marble League 2020[]
Sometime after Marbula One, the team had a change in their roster, where Whizzy and Velocity would swap places, with Velocity back to the main team roster and Whizzy becoming the reserve member. The Savage Speeders entered the Marble League 2020 Qualifiers, their first qualifiers ever. They managed to finish in the top three in all but one event and comfortably qualified for Marble League 2020 in first overall, despite Speedy and Quickly arguing about which team member would compete in which event and their plan being a messy compromise of both marbles' visions. Before the tournament began, Speedy claimed their teamwork was stronger than ever.
Unfortunately the Speeders did not keep up their good performances. In the first event, Balancing, the Speeders failed to have anyone land in the finish zone, finishing in 14th. They followed this up by finishing second-to-last in the Halfpipe, as they dropped to last place overall for the first time in their history with just three points. Speedy and Quickly struggled to speak to each other, with Quickly stating that this was a time where they needed less practice and more communication, with some members of the team feeling inferior and anxious because of the others. Speedy decided to let Coach Quickly decide who competed in what event from then on.
The Speeders started to recover with a bronze medal in the Funnel Endurance (courtesy of Whizzy), then a ninth place finish in the Newton's Cradle. This infuriating ninth place finally made Speedy and Rapidly realize that the two of them didn't always have to pair together and they could involve others in the team. The Savage Speeders continued to deliver, with consistent top half finishes in the next 5 events, including another bronze medal in the 5 Meter Hurdles, taking them to eighth overall.
The Speeders continued their upward trajectory with three consecutive podiums. They won their third bronze medal in the 5 Meter Sprint followed by two golds in the Black Hole Funnel and the Relay Run, despite only just making it out of their heat, propelling them into second overall, ten points behind the dominant O'rangers with four events remaining. There podium streak was ended by a miscalculated jump early on by Whizzy in the High Jump, causing them to finish last. The O'rangers took advantage of this and won the event with a dominating performance, extending their lead at the top to 35 points, making it almost impossible for anyone to surpass them.
Capitalizing on the Oceanics' upset victory over the O'rangers in the first round of the next event, the Team Aquathlon, the Savage Speeders fought their way to the final, earning themselves a silver medal after losing to the Midnight Wisps, shrinking the O'rangers lead to 20 points. Then, in a colossal improvement from the previous year, and showcasing an unorthodox starting position, the team won a third gold medal in Collision. This performance, on top of the O'rangers' 16th place finish (another reverse of the 2019 event), brought the Savage Speeders to the top of the leaderboard, with a slender five point lead carried into the final event: the Marble Marathon.
The Marathon initially went well for Speedy, who performed well in the placement race to finish second. Unfortunately, a hard collision as the actual event started cost Speedy all their momentum, leaving them stranded. However, Speedy pulled back a few spots towards the end to finish in ninth. With only an eighth place finish for Wospy of the Midnight Wisps and an 11th place finish for Kinnowin of the O'rangers, Speedy had done enough. The Savage Speeders, despite their poor start, finally had their revenge after their 2017 heartbreak, and won Marble League 2020, becoming the first team in the history of Marble League to win the championship twice, shattering the Wisps and the O'rangers' hopes of a repeat championship. Before the event, Coach Quickly met up with Coach Rango of the O'rangers. Seeing the more spiteful side of some of the fans, Rango suggested the two teams join together in a show of unity after the final event, no matter who won. After the trophy presentation, that is exactly what they did. The Speeders formed a circle around the trophy with the title rivals O'rangers in celebration, as a gesture of goodwill and sportsmanship. Both teams, alongside the third-placed Minty Maniacs, secured a spot in Marble League 2021.
Despite rumors among fans, the Speeders did take some time off in the off-season, attending galas and gatherings. At one event, Savvy, the mayor of the city and new manager of the Speeders, presented the team with another key to the city after the victory parade. Rapidly led a all the team except for Speedy on a tour across Marblearth, racing through various locations such as the Colina Umerun, along Zuro's main boulevard before retreating to the fjords outside Thorston. There they met up with the Midnight Wisps. For the past four years Speedy had gone off by themselves without telling others where they were going. At one point, Speedy appeared outside the Minty Mania track, meeting up with Minty Fresh. Speedy asked Fresh about their training regimen and also gave them advice about maintaining top placements.[4]
Marbula One Season 2[]
With their historic treble-winning campaign, the Savage Speeders were invited to participate in Marbula One Season 2, which they accepted, and sent out Speedy and Rapidly again for the season. Coach Quickly would have liked to discuss racer choices but Speedy shut down the conversation.
Unfortunately, the season didn't start off too well. During lap 5 of the first Grand Prix at Minty Mania, Speedy fell off the conveyor belt, and fell in-between the guides. The Speeders subsequently dropped out of the Grand Prix. Thankfully, it was confirmed that Speedy's injuries were minor, and they were able to compete again.[5] Racers, coaches and fans sent Speedy hundreds of cards. This moment led Speedy to reflect on their legacy and what they would be remembered for. Unfortunately Rapidly also had a poor start to the season, finishing in last in the O'raceway Grand Prix. As a result, the team dropped to second-to-bottom overall. Rapidly was seen openly criticizing management, claiming they didn't get enough practice time before the season began.
In the Honeydome Grand Prix, Speedy had fully recovered from the injury and took pole position, earning the Speeders their first point of the season. Then, Speedy came back from eighth place to first overall and kept it throughout the second-half of the race, winning the Grand Prix and taking the Speeders up to fifth place overall. However, Rapidly struggled again at the Aquamaring Grand Prix and again finished last, dropping them to seventh overall. At the next Grand Prix, the Tumult Turnpike Grand Prix, Speedy only just qualified in 16th but managed to fight up to a ninth place finish. Rapidly's misfortune continued at the Arctic Circuit Grand Prix as they finished the Qualifiers in 17th, failing to qualify for the Grand Prix, the first time the Speeders' had failed to qualify for any event. As a result, the Speeders were in 11th overall halfway through Marbula One Season 2. It was later revealed that Coach Quickly had asked the JMRC if they could swap out a racer halfway through the season (the JMRC confirmed this was not possible), wanting to remove Rapidly. Speedy defended their sibling which led to a heated argument between the captain and coach. It eventually ended up with Quickly saying that Speedy should train Rapidly if they think they're so great before slamming a locker door shut. At the later press conferences, Rapidly claimed their poor performances wad down to personal troubles.[4]
2021[]
Marble League Winter Special[]
The Savage Speeders were invited to participate in the Marble League Winter Special and accepted. They decided to rest Speedy and Rapidly as much as they could. The Speeders got off to a decent start, with Swifty getting fifth in the Ice Dash, along with Whizzy getting sixth in Snowboard Cross. However, Velocity's 15th place in Speed Skating dropped them to ninth in the standings. A sixth place finish in Bobsled was not enough and they dropped to tenth in the standings, losing the chance to become champion in this tournament. They ended the Winter Special on a high note by winning a silver medal in Ice Hockey, finishing the tournament in seventh overall. Despite not going as well as hoped, Coach Quickly admitted having all members of the team on a podium for the first time in a while was the moment they needed to start to bring joy back into the team.[4]
Marbula One Season 2[]
After the Winter Special, the second half of Marbula One Season 2 started off with a good performance from Speedy at the Raceforest Grand Prix. After qualifying in second, they battled for the lead throughout the entire race and finished second, losing only to Red Eye of the Crazy Cat's Eyes. With their second podium finish of the season, the Savage Speeders climbed up to seventh overall. Due to Coach Quickly's ultimatum, Speedy spent a lot of time training with Rapidly, trying to improve their lack of drive.
At the Momotorway Grand Prix Rapidly continued to struggle and finished last again, sending the team down to ninth overall. With another second place from Speedy at the Palette Park Grand Prix, the Savage Speeders climbed back up to fifth. With three races left to go, however, they were no longer able to defend the Teams' Championship. Despite appearing diplomatic on the outside, Speedy was heartbroken to lose two close finishes and told Rapidly they couldn't train together anymore, with Speedy claiming they needed to focus on themselves. After their victory, Wospy sent a letter to Rapidly thanking them for helping them get going again after their lowest point when they fell of the conveyor belt. They also reminded Rapidly that failure doesn't mean you should be left behind - you should own your failures but not be defined by them. Rapidly broke down after reading the letter, thankful that they had been reminded of this truth. They spent their time before the next race training with Whizzy and something changed in that time. They started to improve again.
At the Misty Mountain Grand Prix, Rapidly recovered from their bad form and finished third, not only scoring their first points of the season but also winning their first medal in Season 2. This brought the Speeders up to fourth overall. Coach Quickly apologized to Rapidly for what they had said earlier in the season. Speedy decided to race at the Savage Speedway Grand Prix, seeing it as chance to beat Red Eye at their home track. Despite the rest of the team being hesitant about this choice, Speedy went ahead with their decision. Unfortunately, Speedy could only manage sixth, handing the Crazy Cat's Eyes the Team and Individual Championship. At the final race of the season, the Midnight Bay Grand Prix, Rapidly showed they were actually back to form, and secured their first race win in Marbula One after battling from the back. As a result, the Savage Speeders finished the season in second overall, with Speedy taking second place in the individual championship as well. Speedy apologized for their earlier outburst towards Red Eye, congratulating them on their victory.[4]
Marble League 2021[]
After Marbula One Season 2, Rapidly was sent to participate in the Marble League 2021 Practice Race. Rapidly was in top eight for the first half of the race, but they chose the slower path during midway of the race and was never able to recover. They finished the race in 23rd out of 28 marbles. The team trained together, with Coach Quickly even taking part in some of the events.[4]
Being one of the auto-qualified teams, the Savage Speeders took part in the Marble League 2021 Friendly Round. They finished second in all but one event, and also finished the Friendly Round in second.
Going into Marble League 2021, the Savage Speeders started off with a string of mid-table results, finishing tenth in both the Swing Wave and Balancing, and finishing 11th in the 5 Meter Sprint. Despite finishing sixth in Funnel Endurance, the Speeders were sitting in 13th after four events.
The Speeders started to turn things around by winning a gold medal in the 5 Meter Relay, marking their fourth gold in the Relay Run, propelling them up to fourth. They maintained their position with a fourth place in Jousting, and even climbed to third overall despite two eighth place finishes at the 5 Meter Hurdles and Block Pushing. At the Triathlon, Rapidly won the team's second gold of the season, maintaining their third place overall.
However, due to three bottom-half results in the following four events, the Speeders dropped to sixth overall after 13 events. A glimmer of hope returned when a fourth place in the Sand Rally took them back up to fourth. Unfortunately, a 15th place in Football sent the Speeders back down to eighth overall, but they were one of eleven teams still mathematically able to win the Marble League with one event to go. The final event, Marblocross, was a Marbula One style event, making their captain Speedy the obvious choice. This time, however, Speedy was unable to live up to the expectations, as they only finished 14th. The Speeders finished Marble League 2021 in 12th, which was not only the team's worst overall result, but also the worst result in any team's title-defending season. For the second time, the Savage Speeders finished a Marble League outside of the top three, and thus, did not automatically qualify for a Marble League tournament for the second time in their history. With Kinnowin of the O'rangers winning a silver medal in the final event, the Savage Speeders even finished the tournament behind their rivals.
After the tournament, the Speeders decided to become more transparent with their fans, opening up the team's training facilities and properties to the public as well as starting outreach programs. They also began to train a youth team, Cruise Control, to compete in the Tour de Vellis.[6]
2022[]
Marbula One Season 3[]
Despite going through a rough patch in Marble League 2021, the Savage Speeders received an invitation to participate in Marbula One Season 3. Once again, they accepted, sending out Speedy and Rapidly for the third consecutive season. They had an average first half of the season. Rapidly qualified in fourth at the season opener at Tumult Turnpike, but only managed a 12th place finish. Speedy's first race of the season was slightly better as they qualified fifth and finished ninth at the Sleet Street Grand Prix. For the next two races, the upward trend continued, with Rapidly finishing eighth at the Misty Mountain Grand Prix, and Speedy getting sixth place at the O'raceway Grand Prix. However, this was followed up by the Speeders' first scoreless race of the season, as Rapidly finished only 16th at the Mellow Meadows Grand Prix. Speedy concluded the first half of the season with an 11th place finish at the Honeydome Grand Prix. Halfway through Season 3, the Savage Speeders sat in 13th in the team standings, with Speedy and Rapidly sitting in 19th and 27th of the individual standings respectively.
The Savage Speeders started their second half of Marbula One Season 3 with two more midpack finishes, as Rapidly and Speedy both finished ninth at the Momotorway Grand Prix and the Stardust Accelerator Grand Prix respectively. Things seemed to look up as Speedy secured pole position at the Short Circuit Grand Prix and finished the race in second. The final three races, however, were disappointing again. Rapidly finished 12th at the Electron Expressway Grand Prix, which would be the team's last points scoring finish of the season, as Rapidly followed this up with a 19th place finish at the Midnight Bay Grand Prix before Speedy concluded the season with an 18th place at the Mirage Meowntain Grand Prix. The Speeders finished the season in 12th place of the teams' standings, their worst finish in Marbula One so far. In the individual standings, Speedy finished 12th, while Rapidly concluded their season far down the order in 36th.
Marble League 2022[]
For the Marble League 2022 Qualifiers, the Savage Speeders were drawn into Group B, which was widely regarded as the "Group of Death" as it contained many Marble League mainstays, like the Hazers, the Thunderbolts, and Team Momo. The Speeders got off to a slow start, as Whizzy and Swifty got an eighth place finish at Climbing. They quickly managed to turn things around with a fourth place from Speedy at the 5 Meter Hurdles and a third place in Balancing. With a second place finish from Rapidly in the Triathlon, the Savage Speeders finished their group in third, qualifying for Marble League 2022.
After two 12th place finishes and two fifth place finishes, the Savage Speeders were in ninth heading into the fifth event, the 5 Meter Relay, an event that the Savage Speeders had won multiple times in previous years. Continuing their trend of success in the Relay, the Savage Speeders won their fifth gold in the event since the start of the Marble League. As well as giving the Savage Speeders their first medal of the season, the 25 points earned pushed the Savage Speeders up to sixth overall. Following a another ninth and fifth place finish in the next two events, Rapidly claimed a bronze medal in the 5 Meter Sprint, followed by the team earning a silver medal in Block Pushing, sending the Savage Speeders to third place overall.
Over the next five events, the Savage Speeders would get multiple high-table finishes as well as another bronze medal in the Team Aquathlon. During this time, the Savage Speeders would bounce between second and third overall. After poor performances in the Sand Rally and Collision, the Savage Speeders dropped to fourth overall, still able to win the Marble League but with a very low probability of success with just the Elimination Race left. Even with a seventh place finish in the event, the multiple conditions needed for the Savage Speeders to win the season or even move onto the podium didn't occur, leaving them in fourth overall with 166 points. This made it the third time that the Savage Speeders failed to finished within the top three, and subsequently sending them to the qualifiers once again.
The Savage Speeders also traveled to Hailfern for the Xmas Marble Race, where Swifty finished in a respectable ninth.
2023[]
Marbula One Season 4[]
The Savage Speeders were invited to participate in Marbula One Season 4 and once again accepted. While Speedy was chosen to represent the team for the fourth consecutive season, Rapidly was replaced by Swifty. The team had a much better start to the season than the previous years, as Speedy qualified on the front row for the season opener at the Razzway. After a hard-fought battle with the eventual race winner, Cloudy of the Hazers, they went on to finish the race in second.
After a minor drop in performance at the O'raceway, qualifying P2 but finishing seventh, the Savage Speeders' good fortunes continued at Sakura Garden, where Speedy earned the first pole position of the season for the Savage Speeders, finishing the race in second behind Royal of the Kobalts. However, in the very next race at Greenstone, not only would Swifty get a second straight pole position, but they would finish the job, winning the race, putting the Savage Speeders into first overall with a comfortable lead. At Tumult Turnpike, the final race of the first half of the season, the streak of top two qualification spots ended, with a fourth in the racing order for the next day's Grand Prix. Swifty could not maintain their position and dropped to ninth. At the halfway point of the season, the Savage Speeders sat in first overall, 15 points above the nearest challengers, the Hazers. The Speeders' dominance was also reflected in the individual standings, where Swifty sat in third, and Speedy one point down in fourth.
Sleet Street, the first race of the second half of the season, was the first poor performance for the team that season. Speedy, who had only won silver medals so far, qualified in 18th position, the first time the Savage Speeders qualified outside of the top four. Speedy would managed to make up some points, climbing five places during the next day's race up to 13th. Speedy bounced back earned 2nd position during the qualification at Misty Mountain, dropping slightly to a very respectable 5th. In their first qualification race in 2 weeks, Swifty continues their stellar run of form, earning P2 as The Savage Speeders continue to crush qualifications. Swifty would drop six places during the race down to 8th, entering the final push 6 points behind the Hazers. At the Stardust Accelerator, Swifty qualifies 15th in their final race of the season. They do perform quite well in the Grand Prix, being in as high as third before falling down the order to 9th. The Savage Speeders enter the final race in a three-way tie for first with the Hazers and Team Primary, all at 125 points. Barring any craziness from the O'rangers (111 points), Team Momo (107 points) or the Kobalts (106 points), whoever finishes higher out of the top three at Casino Square would win the team title. At Casino Square qualifying, Speedy came 5th while Misty and Rima came 17th and 19th respectively, leaving the door wide open for a championship win. In the race, Speedy finishes on the podium, not only gaining a bronze medal and 18 points, but also securing the team championship in Marbula One Season 4 for the Savage Speeders. In the individual championship, Speedy got 5th place overall, while Swifty finished their debut season in a respectable 8th.
Marble League 2023[]
For the Marble League 2023 Qualifiers, the Savage Speeders were drawn into Group B. They started off well with a second-place finish in the Honeycomb Team Pursuit and a third place from Rapidly in the 5 Meter Sprint, putting them on top of their group after two events. Afterwards, they slowed their pace, finishing 10th in the Legion March Wave and 7th in Funnel Endurance. Their points haul was still good enough to finish fourth in their group, and thus, they qualified for Marble League 2023, defying a phenomenon known as the '4th Place Curse'.
In the first event, Honeycomb Team Pursuit, the Savage Speeders once again took second continuing their momentum from the Marbula One victory. This event marked the Savage Speeders being the first team to reach 1000 total points in the Marble League. The Savage Speeders finished the second event Steeplechase in 7th. Rapidly led the Savage Speeders into the 5 Meter Hurdles where they took home a strong silver just over their rivals O'rangers. In Block Pushing, the Savage Speeders battled with the Midnight Wisps in heat 4. The Wisps took silver and the Speeders just behind in bronze. At the quarter mark, the Savage Speeders sat 1st, 12 points ahead of the Crazy Cat's Eyes. In the 5th event 5 Meter Sprint, Rapidly won the 4th heat and finished 3rd in the event as well is their 4th medal in 5 events. This bronze put Rapidly over 200 total points including the qualifiers. This event brought another landmark in the Savage Speeders history books, as the squad became the first team to have at least 10 of each medal in the marble league. The Speeders then finished 7th in Tug Of War, beating the Shining Swarm and losing to the Razzberry Racers. The Savage Speeders then competed in Funnel Endurance, where they finished a disappointing 11th after Swifty's effort. In Balancing, the final event of the first half. The Speeders finished 10th on 262 points to enter the halfway point in 1st on 99 points.
Velocity opened the second half of the season with a 5th place finish in the Triathlon, which dropped them back into 2nd overall. The following event was the 5 Meter Relay, an event that the Savage Speeders had previously won five times. This instance, however, was rather disappointing for the Speeders as they got eliminated in the heats, finishing the event in 11th. Speedy then finished 7th in the Maze Run. In the 12th event Legion March Wave, the team finishes in 5th to regain the 1st spot on the leaderboard. In the elimination race, Swifty disappointed in 12th, tying the team up with the Bumblebees. The fortunes would turn around in the G-Force endurance, with a win in the event. With a 19 point lead with 2 events left, the Savage Speeders controlled their own destiny to win the league in event 15. Quickly made an unexpected decision to put Whizzy in The Sand Rally race. Whizzy would DNF in the first race, and finish 13th in the second race, and their time in the second race was only enough for 14th. The gap closed to enter the final event to 15 points. Even Speedy's attempts couldn't save the Speeders, as they never were in the top 10 at any point in the Honeydome, as they finished in just 13th. Thanks to the Bumblebees and the Crazy Cat’s Eyes finishing top 2, the Speeders dropped to 3rd, and losing by just 3 points. This was their first ever overall bronze in the Marble League, and their 7th top 5 finish. They got their fifth marble league podium, They also made history in multiple ways as they became the second team to finish in all three podium spots, the first being Mellow Yellow. The Savage Speeders were also the second team to have appeared in the top 3 on the leaderboard after every single event. The first were the Raspberry Racers in 2021. To finish the year, Speedy was invited to race in group A for the Christmas Marble Race 2023, where they finished 22nd.
