Trivia

• With Pinky Panther advancing to Round 2 of qualifying, every team has advanced to Round 2 at least once this season.
• Red Eye's pole position marks the second instance of a marble starting on pole in two races within a season. The first marble to do so was Prim, in Season 1.
  • Both of these marbles are now tied for the most all-time pole positions, with 3.
  • Having also secured pole position at the Honeydome, Red Eye has become the first marble to secure pole position in 2 consecutive races (excluding ones where they did not participate).
• With Billy's victory in this Grand Prix, they became the sole marble to win a Grand Prix in the first three seasons, having won at the O'raceway in Season 1 and at the Arctic Circuit in Season 2.
• Billy became the first marble to win a Marbula One Grand Prix after qualifying in 15th.
  • This victory sets the 3rd-lowest grid position for a race winner. The record is shared by Wospy and Hazy, who won from P16 at Palette Park and Misty Mountain, respectively, both in Season 2.
  • By extension, Billy also became only the second marble to rise exactly 14 positions from their qualifying position. The first was Bumble at the Honeydome, just 2 Grands Prix earlier.
• Red Eye and Minty Fresh became the first 2 marbles to change positions after every lap of a Marbula One race.
• With Alpine's failure to score any points, Team Momo is now the only team to have scored in all Grands Prix to date in Season 3.
• With Aryp and Tumult crossing the finish line in 2nd and 3rd, respectively, this Grand Prix became the first in which Team Primary outranked the Balls of Chaos on the podium.
