Did no one read the description? Jack is just here for the Formula E project. Greg hasn't been fired. I think Jack did a great job for someone who has never done commentary for marble racing!
Props to Jelle for letting these smaller teams get some spotlight. One day, maybe ‘Mercedes’ and ‘Audi’ will be household names just like the Savage Speeders and O’rangers...
The opportunity is there, but they have to try harder in my opinion if they want to get going, it’s always tough at the start when there are no stories behind these brands, they can take a leaf off of the Hazer’s book given their pretty quick rise to prominence. Also they have such silly names! Jaguar? Dragon? Pfft. Let’s say that I’m cautiously optimistic.

Guys, you have to remember that this sponsor is bringing Jelle an incredible opportunity - Jack Nicholls is a professional commentator for racing. It just highlights what talent we are lucky to have with Greg and he will always be the channel's first choice and he will be back!
I mean we are kind of biased because we have known Greg Woods for so long, but yea he is amazing. It's not that Jack Nichols did bad, but Greg woods is just amazing
As an F1 fan, in the absence of any sport I've found myself watching a marble-powered representation of a different formula and Mercedes are STILL winning.
I thought he sounded like "well this is a bit silly" @ first, but was totally drawn in after the 2nd lap. It was an awesome race and the commentary was great!
Don’t know who this “Mercedes” team is, but they impressed me. Maybe they can one day graduate to the big leagues against titans like the Savage Speeders and O’Rangers.
There’s just something about the phrases “Audi powered marble” and “Two giant German manufacturers, marble to marble” That I can’t help but find unreasonably funny
@@lester4532 dont think so, mercedes marble looks very similar like the midnight wisps its either they use wisps marble or its a different but similar one lol
A warm welcome to Mr. Nicholls to the world of Marble racing. I have to admit at first I was a bit sceptical whether it would be the same without Greg Woods. And honestly? It wasnt. Nicholls clearly is a different style of commentator and between that and his seeming reluctance at first I wasnt certain whether he would be quite able to capture the spirit of marble racing the way Woods can. But as the qualifier went on and into the race it was great to see Nicholls getting more and more comfortable and into at as time went on. Professional or not, it cant be easy switching to a niche event like Marble racing commentary and he did a great job of it in my opinion. I am looking forward to hearing more from him in the future.
I was thinking the exact same thing he is obviously a skilled commentator for Formula-1 but putting someone, even a professional in a new unfamiliar situation can be jarring. I Think Mr. Nicholls did a fantastic job and can only see him getting better as the Series moves on.
Actually that's exactly what I thought. As he got comfortable with this kind of event I could se he and Marbula's official commentator would have an interesting back to back interaction since Mr. Nicholls has the passion and Mr. Woods has the analysis. It would be really awesome to see them together.
Striking the right tone of treating this seriously as a competition while embracing the absurdity of humanizing marbles can't be easy. This was a very fine first effort, and the marble history color commentary was great. Excited for the rest of the season
I totally agree. He's done a pretty good job for a first go at this, and he did improve just during this first race. Greg is still by far my preference, but he has all of the experience, and I look forwards to seeing how Mr Nicholls does.
So no one gonna talk about how Jelle's just collaborated with Formula feakin' E! What an accomplishment for them. I hope this progress continues. Maybe one day we all might be watching Marbula 1 and Marbula E instead of the real thing. Well done, guys!
@@mario6968 I know. I mean, beside virtual race Formula E also has this very entertainment. I wonder whether 3DBotMaker will partner with WRC and Majorette for diecast racing
I really appreciate Jack Nicholls commentary, but he clearly miss something (maybe experience) about Marble Race. It would be great if Greg Woods could be with him maybe talking about more technical details about marbles
Yeah, the commentary was definitely spot on in terms of play-by-play. But Greg Woods always added a lot of storytelling aspect to each of the marbles, and it really enhanced the experience
yeah Greg woods commentary style usually insert more jokes and casual element unlike Nicholls since he's a commentary from a international sport thats why it sounds more "formal"
It's kinda interesting listening to Nicholls' commentary; he's way less experienced in calling marble racing than Greg Woods (and they have a very noticeable difference in fluidity) but it adds a certain sense of legitimacy to the whole affair. I'm excited to see where this goes in the future, as well as any other collaborations that you guys have planned.
I have a feeling nicholls will figure it out as he goes along. just a different style but once he commentates a few marble races I am sure he will be on par with his official races too. still love Greg Woods though!
He will figure it out! He just needs to buy into personifying the marbles. I know it probably sounds and feels ridiculous to him, but part of Greg Woods commentary was maintaining story lines and using references from outside of the race to help the marbles seem more real. Im sure as the season goes on, he will improve!
I'm losing my mind this is so phenomenal there's the Real Jack Nicholls talking to me about marble racing in 2020. Truly, something blessed in these trying times
Of course Greg will always be the voice of marble racing in my heart, but what major sport has only one commentator? It's a natural part of marble racing's growth. I thought Jack Nicholls did a pretty good job for his first go marble commentary, particularly for staying completely earnest and not doing it with a wink or smirk. I think the other thing Greg does really well that would help if Jack did more is to humanize the marbles, give them agency. It's too bad we can't get them together in the same booth right now, this is definitely a "Why not both?" situation!
I totally agree. You can feel that Greg has more experience in commentating on the marbles than Jack, but he did a good job. A little chanting could also help in the background. Somehow Greg just gets me more excited about it.
Yeah he just doesn't have the passion yet. It'd be great to have both commentators Edit: wrote that before I realized it was the whole race not just qualifying. Sounded really good during the race. Still would be great with both
Greg Woods commentary is legendary, he just can't be replaced. But I have to admit, this new commentator really added something to the start of this series. I think it would be great if the new commentator and Greg could team up to commentate together in future Marbula E races. And to be honest, I think we need longer races. They're way too short. Marble racing is just getting better and better with every race! I'll admit it, I'm addicted lol
Of course it's different guys, instead of a guy who's been doing marble commentary for years with a style we're all used to and love, we have a brand new dude who is doing his first commentary ever on a marble race, it's completely alien to him obviously, just give it some time, you and him both will get used to it. It's an amazing opportunity for Jelle and Marble Racing to reach new crowds and achieve new goals and i'm all for it!
Jack Nicholls is great. He’s the Formula E play by play guy, he does F1 podcast commentary for the BBC, he’s an internationally known big time racing voice. His mere presence lends a certain legitimacy to the proceedings. Sure it’s different than what we’re used to, but this is a bold step for Jelle’s Marble Racing and it’s a well-executed one at that. We’ll have our regular commentator back for the Marble League and next go-round for the Sand Marble Rally and Marbula 1. It’s all good.
@@jimkayser1880 I hear you mate. But having a professional takes away from what I think the entire draw of Marble racing was in the first place. It was home made. The former announcer brought the marble racing to life. He knew the players and knew how to keep running commentary going and keep it all exciting. But I'm glad he's not doing all the commentary going forward. I guess Greg's announcing was the entire reason I watched in the first place. He made you forget you were watching marbles. But yeah, mate, I understand this guy may have credentials and be associated with F1, which is understandably exciting for Jelle's Marble Racing. However, I will admit I did not finish watching either of the races. I look forward to Greg's commentary in the future!
i think the difference between greg and jack is that jack treats the marbles as marbles but greg treats them as racers/humans there's a statement i never thought i'd say
I thought I had heard all the absurd ways you could commentate on marble sports. Then he hits me with the "Audi-powered marbles" line. I had to pause the video for a second.
I notice a few visual similarities in other teams too! Jaguar’s marble looks an awful lot like the Minty Maniacs, BMW’s marble looks like the Oceanics, and Mercedes’ marble looks like my main men the Midnight Wisps 😊
*sees Marbula-E oh interesting *sees Envision and Virgin Racing *OHHHH INTERESTING* AND with the official commentator. 10/10 very cool also GO DS TECHEETAH
@@alonattar3836 i think its sucks because there were barely any crowd noises. What made M1 amazing besides the race was the cheering voice in the background
random this was only his first time, remember. It took Greg Woods a while to get better, he was a little like this at first. I don’t think he is quite as good as Greg, but he is different, he gets me hyped up because he talks louder and faster. And he kept up with the races pretty well.
I have watched Formula E since it's start and OMG this is truely amazing. The sounds, the music, BLOODY JACK NICHOLLS commentating. This is a dream come true, I'm so happy and proud of you guys at Jelle's Marble Runs! Also for Jack: You did a fantastic job commentating your first Marbles race and I cannot wait for more of your races. Maybe we can, in the end, have a dual commentating session with both you and Greg for the last round of the season? Big thanks for doing this, it sounded like you really enjoyed this!
José Astorga Humans can make a competition out of anything and where there is competition there is somebody to talk about it. Jack just had to get warmed up
I remember three years or so ago, clicking on an amateur, phone-cam video that made me chuckle and I am so glad I kept watching - watching this channel grow and the creativity has really brought a smile to my face. Congratulations.
Ya know what? For somebody's first time commentating over a marble race, I'm impressed with how smooth it sounded. Jack conveyed a good sense of pacing throughout with some good attention drawn to each competitor in both qualifying and the race proper.
In Qualifying I was like "ffs..... Mercedes are going to win everything like in Formula 1" Venturi: "Hold my Beer" Then of course Mercedes still wins this,....
VenomousCompany Mercedes are new in FE and they have done pretty good in their first year so far, they haven’t won a real race but they had some podiums
After qualifiers: Porsche did fairly well and seems like a nice, respectable marble. I think I'll root for them for the season. After the race: Oh, this is gonna be a Raspberry Racers season all over again, isn't it?
I definitely agree. There was quite a bit of dead air during qualis, which is to be expected since I'm sure it's his first time commentating a marble run. But during the race, he really picked up his game.
Way back in the day Carson Interviewed Kermit the Frog. It starts out like you'd expect, Carson is have a bit of fun, and not really. buying in. But then, he just switches, and starts actually talking to Kermit like a real person. Then, it suddenly hits him, what he's doing. He's talking to a puppet like a real human person. I bring this up because, at about the 9 minute mark, It feels like it happens to Jack. I love marble racing, and I think Jack really got it here.
I think the mic was too close to the guy's face, as well as he was telling into it. I had to turn my volume way down compared to Jelly talking. This guy needs to go. 🤷
It wasn't missing the crowd noise at all; I couldn't stand those team chants. Applause and cheering are fine; team chants are just a pain in the ass. (My apologies to Jelle and Dion; I'm not trying to be negative.)
“Audi powered marbles” I didnt like the switch from Greg Woods initially, but this is good fun! I may get into formula E because of marble racing. Wow.
Tell me about it. I heard about this last Wednesday and been binge watching since. Productivity is completely down the drain. Luckily I'm just about through all videos.
He is in a completely new marble race announcing, obviously his formula 1 commentating skill does have alot of cross over but you can't blame him at all for being a little shaky. I only see him improving throughout the series can't wait to hear more
@@HIM7070 I cant either! seems like at the beginning he was struggling to commit to the bit, but by the end of it, even he was into it. Hopefully as more of a story line develops for these marbles, he can get more comfortable with it.
No surprise there Mercedes is fastest, and once again German engineering is flexing its muscles ahead of the competition.. Very happy with Venturi who after getting passed managed to regain a seat on the podium..!
Im ashamed to say that i might just watch a huge chunk of it if it becomes a thing. also waiting for Tour de Marble and Iron Marble maybe also the Marble 500.
How on earth will they film that? I can just imagine each corner having 10 GoPro's with 10 more as replacements as the Marble Endurance Championship goes on. Might just be the most logistically intense series for them ever.
@@Poserbane BMW was even second to last at one point but those overtakes to pos 1 in just a view rounds were amazing! As someone who lives near Munich I basically HAD to cheer for BMW!
Let me just say something obvious: we needed more chants in the background. This was still really cool though. Edit 2: 200+ likes?!? Wow! Thank you!!! Have a good day and God bless.
Happy that this channel still has new content despite it being so difficult to get anything done these days, but I never realized how cursed these races were without the crowd sounds. 😂
Jack Nicholls did a great job, especially for his first commentary, but he has a ways to go to reach the level of Greg Woods. That's definitely a bigger compliment to Greg than it is a slight to Jack.
The British motor racing teams that are any good all have French/German/Austrian heritage. I should have known better than to back an out-and-out British team :D
Did no one read the description? Jack is just here for the Formula E project. Greg hasn't been fired. I think Jack did a great job for someone who has never done commentary for marble racing!
Agree. Soon both of them will be commenting on a LIVE race
I like Jack's commentary, but I miss the marble teams
this is youtube nobody reads the description
Am hoping for a blind draw to guide the Qualifiers as necessary in the remainder of this series. Marble League is going to be a quacker.
Jack needs to chat with Greg. The really important rule is to not really use the word Marble, but focus on the personification.

It's too bad we can't get them together in the same booth right now, this is definitely a "Why not both?" situation!
I totally agree. You can feel that Greg has more experience in commentating on the marbles than Jack, but he did a good job. A little chanting could also help in the background.
Somehow Greg just gets me more excited about it.
Greg and jack would be a great duo tbh
As this goes on, Jack will have more to go on
Yeah he just doesn't have the passion yet. It'd be great to have both commentators
Edit: wrote that before I realized it was the whole race not just qualifying. Sounded really good during the race. Still would be great with both
Upvote to get Greg and Jack to both commentate one day. 😃
Jesus Christ, we can’t even go into Marbles without Mercedes OP
Mercedes are always the overpowered villains, even in marble racing
Yes but as a Midnight Wisps fan, having the same coloured marble be fast here is good news for the Marbula 1 team
Leave Lewis HamROLEton alone

Imagine the meeting: Mercedes EQ and their Formula e team trying to choose their marble
haha germans. i can see it
@@raulf100 I can see a crew rolling up with micrometers and lasers
@@JohnYoo39 thats us for you. In F1 Mercedes has some great drivers.
Greg Woods commentary is legendary, he just can't be replaced. But I have to admit, this new commentator really added something to the start of this series. I think it would be great if the new commentator and Greg could team up to commentate together in future Marbula E races. And to be honest, I think we need longer races. They're way too short.
Marble racing is just getting better and better with every race! I'll admit it, I'm addicted lol
Joe rogan and denis macavaney are comentating the bext event.
sorry bruce macevaney . too much tawney port tonight
He is the actual commentator for the official formula e 😅
Of course it's different guys, instead of a guy who's been doing marble commentary for years with a style we're all used to and love, we have a brand new dude who is doing his first commentary ever on a marble race, it's completely alien to him obviously, just give it some time, you and him both will get used to it.
It's an amazing opportunity for Jelle and Marble Racing to reach new crowds and achieve new goals and i'm all for it!
This new commentator is crap
Jack Nicholls is great. He’s the Formula E play by play guy, he does F1 podcast commentary for the BBC, he’s an internationally known big time racing voice. His mere presence lends a certain legitimacy to the proceedings. Sure it’s different than what we’re used to, but this is a bold step for Jelle’s Marble Racing and it’s a well-executed one at that. We’ll have our regular commentator back for the Marble League and next go-round for the Sand Marble Rally and Marbula 1. It’s all good.
It feels natural for me to hear my racing comentated with this accent.
@@jimkayser1880 I hear you mate. But having a professional takes away from what I think the entire draw of Marble racing was in the first place. It was home made. The former announcer brought the marble racing to life. He knew the players and knew how to keep running commentary going and keep it all exciting. But I'm glad he's not doing all the commentary going forward. I guess Greg's announcing was the entire reason I watched in the first place. He made you forget you were watching marbles. But yeah, mate, I understand this guy may have credentials and be associated with F1, which is understandably exciting for Jelle's Marble Racing. However, I will admit I did not finish watching either of the races. I look forward to Greg's commentary in the future!
@@jimkayser1880 Maybe he and Greg could commentate together!
i think the difference between greg and jack is that jack treats the marbles as marbles but greg treats them as racers/humans
there's a statement i never thought i'd say
I thought I had heard all the absurd ways you could commentate on marble sports.
Then he hits me with the "Audi-powered marbles" line. I had to pause the video for a second.
Perhaps he should say the drivers names instead of the teams. And that the marbles are the vehicle.
And a statement I never thought I'd read!
I mean Greg woods is a marble so he understands...
@@luisbaltazar8056 Greg is a marble? God... I miss that part of the lore
I cried laughing with the random marble knowledge being dropped, "marbles are thousands of years old."
Someone just handed the announcer a cue card and said, "Read this, someone is paying for it"
Formula E: We need something for the quarantine
Employee: MARBLE RACE
Formula E:....
Employee:....
Formula E: GENIUS!
If only Formula E was this exciting. The marble change places, there was a race going on, not just follow the leader.
Give that man a raise
Those German marble engineers know what they are doing!
They hit nissan early. Terrible, should be docked
Too right, their philosophy appears to be well rounded.
They really are
Its destiny. You can run, you can try, in the end #BestMarbleWins
ive been a nissan fan for quite some time now
Marbula E how exciting I am so happy there is some marble sports between now and the marble league to keep me entertained in quarantine
the e stands for early vids
Came here because of John Oliver.
Staying for the marbles.
I had no idea what I was missing.
This at times is more exciting than formula 1, which I miss and enjoy. Way more passing than at Monaco.
Welcome to the rabbit hole. Wait until Marblelympics start again and you'll be around FOREVER.
Me too!!!!!

That makes so much sense!! 😂😂
Techeetah must be an O'ranger, starting strong then sliding into 6th

This wins the Comments - LOL!!!!
Idk what this “Dragon” is but it seems similar to my Green Ducks so I think I’ll support them.
This is the comment I needed to see, haha. Same here^^
I notice a few visual similarities in other teams too! Jaguar’s marble looks an awful lot like the Minty Maniacs, BMW’s marble looks like the Oceanics, and Mercedes’ marble looks like my main men the Midnight Wisps 😊
Me: It’s not the same with real names... I miss the old teams...
Also me: COME ON VENTURIII
"I don't know who to cheer now that Savage Speeders are not here"
*Venturi chokes*
"They ARE here"
As a Midnight Wisps fan, I'm counting this Mercedes win as a Midnight Wisps win!
@@Sirppivasara HAH! I was wondering who to root for instead of the Speeders. Looks like I found them!
Erin Sitrin I looked at the marbles and went “okay witch marble resembles the Midnight Wisp”
And that’s who I’m rooting for all season!
this series is sponsored by formula e (pro racing league) so they are using real names
"Hi, i'm Greg Woods"
didn't think i'd miss that line so much
BUT.. this is a great series nonetheless.. keep it up!!!
Greg Woods isn't getting replaced, this commentator is the commentator for actual Formula-e he'll be here for marbula-e and that's probably it.
Idc WE WANT GREG WOODS
Cubeez95 Yeah, Greg Woods is really good at commentating these events
Cubeez95 we want to hear Jelle commentate
These “professionals” couldn’t handle the Haze
We would have dusted tf out of them
Especially this circuit, hazers gonna love the straight lanes
Hazers would blast their asses #HazeAmaze
There should be an All-star race between the OG's and these guys.
Hazer's cheat. Plain and simple. #quackattack
Damn, John Oliver was right again. This sport is addicting.
*sees Marbula-E
oh interesting
*sees Envision and Virgin Racing
*OHHHH INTERESTING*
AND with the official commentator. 10/10 very cool
also GO DS TECHEETAH
This commentator was good but he's no Greg Woods
I was just kidding k
@@alonattar3836 first time for anything. Jack did a decent job, let the man grow on ya.
@@alonattar3836 i think its sucks because there were barely any crowd noises. What made M1 amazing besides the race was the cheering voice in the background
random this was only his first time, remember. It took Greg Woods a while to get better, he was a little like this at first. I don’t think he is quite as good as Greg, but he is different, he gets me hyped up because he talks louder and faster. And he kept up with the races pretty well.
I have watched Formula E since it's start and OMG this is truely amazing. The sounds, the music, BLOODY JACK NICHOLLS commentating. This is a dream come true, I'm so happy and proud of you guys at Jelle's Marble Runs!
Also for Jack: You did a fantastic job commentating your first Marbles race and I cannot wait for more of your races. Maybe we can, in the end, have a dual commentating session with both you and Greg for the last round of the season? Big thanks for doing this, it sounded like you really enjoyed this!
@64Fabby I thought the same, but then i checked his twitter and he said he was willing to commentate on everything these days
So i guess he liked it
it sounds so quiet without the crowds cheering in the background
Ping Sanguanshua Crowd audio was a bit low.
Yeah, raise that one. So much battling, way more than actual racing!!
These new teams don't really have a fanbase yet, with time they might be able to garner a following like the giants of Marbula One
There's a quarantine
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Two huge german manufacturers marble to marble"
This confirms my suspicions that there are humans in each marble.
Shrink ray technology really has come a long way.
Of course there are!
@@falconwind00 Well, Dr. Myron Reducto has had lots of free time on his hands, so why not spend it on his true love?
I'd just like to mention that Envision Racing marble was last in the race. Return of the host's curse?
Host curse is real alright
This is a sponsor so all the teams are completely different and even though some colours are the same.
Oh no. The host's curse is back! 😈
I feel like Jack was like: what am I doing with my career? at first. But then, emotion caught up to him.
José Astorga Humans can make a competition out of anything and where there is competition there is somebody to talk about it. Jack just had to get warmed up
I remember three years or so ago, clicking on an amateur, phone-cam video that made me chuckle and I am so glad I kept watching - watching this channel grow and the creativity has really brought a smile to my face. Congratulations.
Crowd was quiet but I noticed they all had a 'glazed over' expression.
their eyes are glassy.
Go put your nose in the corner and think about what you've done.
Ya know what? For somebody's first time commentating over a marble race, I'm impressed with how smooth it sounded. Jack conveyed a good sense of pacing throughout with some good attention drawn to each competitor in both qualifying and the race proper.
9:15 "Two huge german manufacturers marble to marble!" - What a time to live in, eh?..
I lost it at "Jelly's Marbles"
Lmao, loved your commentary Jack
In Qualifying I was like "ffs..... Mercedes are going to win everything like in Formula 1"
Venturi: "Hold my Beer"
Then of course Mercedes still wins this,....
Mercedes Benz. The best. Or nothing.
VenomousCompany Mercedes are new in FE and they have done pretty good in their first year so far, they haven’t won a real race but they had some podiums
Get in there Marbles!
(midnight wisps had to make up for the last season, so they had something to prove. Maybe a rebranding was all they needed :P)
@@TheDarkMessiah I was a Raspberry Racers Supporter xD
“commission from Envision Racing”

The curse strikes again
oceanics de you remember
@@dhrdogterom 2019 never happened.
That's the hosts' curse. And there are people that still deny it.
After qualifiers: Porsche did fairly well and seems like a nice, respectable marble. I think I'll root for them for the season.
After the race: Oh, this is gonna be a Raspberry Racers season all over again, isn't it?
Porsche felt like the team momo of the competition... naturally I root for both. Time for another season for frustration. Haha
I'm in your camp too.
Me a Raspberry Racers fan: *Cries in Raspberry* 😭😭😭
@@MrTwista My thoughts exactly.
John Oliver brought me here and I have no regrets
Avengers infinity war will be the most ambitious crossover
Jelle and formula E: Hold our marbles
Sounded like he struggled to commentary to begin with but he gets into in the end. Excited for the next ones.
I mean, jack has a career in motorsport commentary. That's why we got "in the silver marble"
His inner thoughts "Its a paycheck. Its a paycheck."
I definitely agree. There was quite a bit of dead air during qualis, which is to be expected since I'm sure it's his first time commentating a marble run. But during the race, he really picked up his game.
We want Greg woods back
I prefer Greg
This is getting bigger and bigger holy hell official sponsor of Envision. This is getting so official hgahgahaghahgahaahah
at least this one is broadcasted
Way back in the day Carson Interviewed Kermit the Frog. It starts out like you'd expect, Carson is have a bit of fun, and not really. buying in. But then, he just switches, and starts actually talking to Kermit like a real person. Then, it suddenly hits him, what he's doing. He's talking to a puppet like a real human person.
I bring this up because, at about the 9 minute mark, It feels like it happens to Jack. I love marble racing, and I think Jack really got it here.
Y’all definitely need to turn the crowd volume up for the actual races, adds so much to the environment
Or go full on Mario kart and have the music sped up for the final lap
I think the mic was too close to the guy's face, as well as he was telling into it. I had to turn my volume way down compared to Jelly talking. This guy needs to go. 🤷
Needs the FE DJ
It was missing the crowd noise through qualifying and the race, but other than that, good stuff as usual!
Didn't realise how much I missed Greg Woods voice until today
It wasn't missing the crowd noise at all; I couldn't stand those team chants. Applause and cheering are fine; team chants are just a pain in the ass. (My apologies to Jelle and Dion; I'm not trying to be negative.)
There is crowd noise, but its much lower volume on these. I use headphones when watching and the crowd is there.
Idk about y'all but the Orangers woulda crushed all those "professionals"..... just sayin'
Nah this track had a very long straight, the savage speeders wouldve easily had this one #speediskey 😎
I think the rally guys would do well here, like red #3 or Superball. Lol
@@pwbtv Red#3 is Colin in Marble realm
“Audi powered marbles”
I didnt like the switch from Greg Woods initially, but this is good fun!
I may get into formula E because of marble racing. Wow.
F-E has some REALLY good racing they have some of last years races up on youtube
Good news from the future...
Riyadh, Mexico City, Berlin, London, Jelle's living room.
I think JMR should get an award for #1 sport to watch while in quarantine
Me: "I'm going to have a nice, productive day of work at home"
Jelle's Marble Runs: "Cool story, FALSE"
Tell me about it. I heard about this last Wednesday and been binge watching since. Productivity is completely down the drain. Luckily I'm just about through all videos.
This channel easily deserves at least 1 million because of all the effort they put in
Hopefully quarantine will give the channel a good boost 🔥🔥🔥
The channel will reach them easily before the end of the year
Also glad I got a heart and not backlash for being a suck up
sad to see people not liking Jack, I REALLY enjoy his commentary in racing series!
He is in a completely new marble race announcing, obviously his formula 1 commentating skill does have alot of cross over but you can't blame him at all for being a little shaky. I only see him improving throughout the series can't wait to hear more
I think it's just new, we all feel a little loyalty to Greg 💕
@@HIM7070 I cant either! seems like at the beginning he was struggling to commit to the bit, but by the end of it, even he was into it. Hopefully as more of a story line develops for these marbles, he can get more comfortable with it.
He did fine for his first time.
People tend to resist to change. I think he did fine.
Greg Woods does a great job, but Jack Nicholls...just wow!!! Love the energy he brings to the commentary. Can't wait to hear more races done by him.
Ono wong londo ning kene. Tos dulu bang. Fellow Marble Race Fanboy 🤝
Or maybe we could have two commentators in one video.

No surprise there Mercedes is fastest, and once again German engineering is flexing its muscles ahead of the competition..
Very happy with Venturi who after getting passed managed to regain a seat on the podium..!
Even in marbles Mercedes stays on top.
I think they are using their new DAS system.
they are the ones that spend the most on feild research. actually no doubt they have the best tech which shows with their lap times
Just trying to chill out watching marble race during break of the motorsport.
*MERCEDES P1*
"Piotr, this is James..."
now i wonder if we also get something like the "24hrs of LeMarble"
Im ashamed to say that i might just watch a huge chunk of it if it becomes a thing. also waiting for Tour de Marble and Iron Marble maybe also the Marble 500.
with Matt Damon ?
How on earth will they film that? I can just imagine each corner having 10 GoPro's with 10 more as replacements as the Marble Endurance Championship goes on. Might just be the most logistically intense series for them ever.
I’m in!
@@GloomGaiGar imagine counting lapps and posittions for all teams for 24 hours.
This scratched my Formula 1 needs in an oddly specific way.
Everyone's talking about the commentary -- but I've got to say, that was a hell of a good race. Rokit Venturi is a hungry marble!
I also enjoyed cheering for BMW as they raced up from 9th in qualifying to a podium finish. Good stuff.
Poserbane BMW did a fabulous race, too bad the conveyer belt ruined everything
@@edipires15 That's the Andretti curse. Always something mechanical snatching away the victory.
@@Poserbane BMW was even second to last at one point but those overtakes to pos 1 in just a view rounds were amazing! As someone who lives near Munich I basically HAD to cheer for BMW!
Go Savage speeders
Let me just say something obvious: we needed more chants in the background. This was still really cool though.
Edit 2: 200+ likes?!? Wow! Thank you!!! Have a good day and God bless.
Yeah when jack doesn't say anything, it was silence
Just please not the ones that they made up for Marbula 1... *Shudders*
Threadoflength what’s the problem with those chants?
Formula E edits the races
Yeah seriously. Why don't they have anybody mic'd up in the stands. Those fans should be going crazy.
We'll always be more biased towards Greg, but Jack is a bloody class commentator. Fair play to him
Jack: But look at the lead now for BMW, absolutely huge!
Me: Pfft, I've seen better from the Savage Speeders.
When you’re a Jaguars fan.
“At least I’m not envision”
Well presumably we will see their teammates next week. No reason to despair yet.
Same
Okay, this was amazing, legitimately. Great job to Jelle’s Marble runs and a big cheers to Jack Nichols and Envision Virgin Racing.
It would be a dream come true if Greg and Jack both commentated for the future races. It would definitely be *UNREAL.*
Jack as play-by-play, Greg as color commentator
Happy that this channel still has new content despite it being so difficult to get anything done these days, but I never realized how cursed these races were without the crowd sounds. 😂
Jack Nicholls did a great job, especially for his first commentary, but he has a ways to go to reach the level of Greg Woods.
That's definitely a bigger compliment to Greg than it is a slight to Jack.
Now what would be wild is if they asked Greg to guest commentate on a Formula 1 race when they get back up. Also Loved Jack he did a great job.
It would be nice if they did a two person commentary with both of them.
I should've learned by now you don't route for a green marble...
It's going to be a looong season ey Jaguar fans? 😅
I can feel you :D
