The Distant Dream

As the seventh season of the Sand Marble Rally draws to a close, our racers gather together in anticipation for the finale…and some ice cream, of course. See what our championship contenders are up to in this season’s hype article.

The rallyist finished first just an hour ago, and the thrill of victory still coursed through them.

MRS6 Memo #2: Race 2
