### The Grid

#### Spannered Monkeys vs Cornish Cannons vs Norfolk and Good

Both Spannered Monkeys and Cornish Cannons sped off to the outer rings while Norfolk and Good continued going in circles around the centre before finally going to the outer ring. Eventually, The Pusher was unleashed with Norfolk and Good almost impacting with each other. Norfolk and Good soon began chasing Cornish Cannons but ended up smashing into the side wall as it attempted to turn, resulting in Norfolk and Good almost immobilising themselves. This incident allowed Spannered Monkeys to drive over and shunt Norfolk and Good, where it eventually toppled Norfolk and Good over.

#### Death Cult 1 vs Empire vs Driftship

Prior to the match beginning, Empire and Death Cult 1 made a pact to go after Driftship. All opponents split off to the outside lanes with Death Cult 1 and Empire almost impacting straight away. However, Driftship began to chase after Death Cult 1 but the rear trailer almost toppled over, swaying the whole car sideways. By this point, The Pusher was released which caused another near impact between Empire and Death Cult 1. However, Death Cult 1 soon caught sight of Driftship and attempted to T-bone them only to drive up behind and smash into the trailer. Death Cult 1 became stuck on the trailer but able to control Driftship towards the trench and push it out of The Grid. Once pitted, Death Cult 1 reversed and in turn tore the trailer off of Driftship.

**Eliminated:** Driftship

### Desert Race

#### Spannered Monkeys vs Cornish Cannons vs Death Cult 1 vs Empire

All vehicles darted out and it was immediately clear that Spannered Monkeys was not going to win the race as it was far behind the pack. Soon, however, Empire and Death Cult 1 shot out in front, neck and neck, which spewed dust in front of Cornish cannons causing visibility problems. Soon the lanes crossed into one and Death Cult 1 and Empire almost impact each other but quickly continue racing with Empire shooting ahead. The dust from the first area blew towards the final stretch causing mass confusion and trouble in seeing where to go with Empire actively driving back towards the starting lanes to avoid the whole section before going through the finish without having gone through the legitimate route, in turn finishing first. Although unseen, at some point Cornish Cannon managed to overtake Death Cult 1 but only just in front of Death Cult 1 who finished third and Spannered Monkeys last.

**Winner:** Empire\*

Despite winning the race, Empire had broken the rules and as such Cornish Cannons (being second) was given the chance to pick their opponents, whom they picked Spannered Monkeys to fight in the next round.

### The Scrapyard

#### Empire vs Death Cult 1

Empire quickly navigated to the outer lanes and drove around while Death Cult 1 attempted to drive through the centre to attack Empire when given the chance, however, Empire's superior speed meant that Death Cult 1 failed to make impact on several occasions. Soon, the klaxon called with Empire in the outside lane but driving the wrong way for the pressure pads while Death Cult 1 waited for an opportunity and charged through the centre and smashed into the front of Empire as it was turning. The two remained motionless for a while with smoke bellowing from the impact, but soon Empire backed up and slammed into Death Cult 1 a second time, damaging the wheels of Death Cult 1. Despite the destroyed wheels, Death Cult 1 slowly trundled away but was rear ended by Empire, who had unintentionally helped Death Cult 1 towards a pressure pad where it activated Shredder. Instead of running away, Empire drove to face Shredder, stopping in front of it which turned out to be a mistake as Shredder charged in and shunted Empire. Despite Empire's attempts to push back and eventually get away, Shredder chased and slammed Empire against the side wall, immobilising it. As Shredder's attack ended, Death Cult 1 drove away from the pressure pad and slowly made it way all around to shunt the defeated Empire about.

**Winner:** Death Cult 1

#### Cornish Cannons vs Spannered Monkeys

Almost immediately the two opponents drive across to the outer lane where they almost crashed into one another, swerving away before they did. The two continued to race around the arena before Cornish Cannons drove through the centre with Spannered Monkeys about to follow suite but instead drove through the outer ring and smashed into Cornish Cannons and shunted it backwards. Spannered Monkeys backed up before sliding the scoop under Cornish Cannons and lifted it before finally bashing it into submission, killing Cornish Cannons off.

**Winner:** Spannered Monkeys

### The Dome

#### Death Cult 1 vs Spannered Monkeys

As battle began, Spannered Monkeys was immediately chased by Death Cult 1 who quickly smashed into the back end and turned Spannered Monkeys around, pinning the backend against the side wall. Slowly, Spannered Monkeys attempted to drive away through some of the car props, but once it darted away, Death Cult 1 had wrapped itself around the arena and darted through the middle slamming into Spannered Monkeys a second time, hitting it in the side. Spannered Monkeys had flat wheels on one side, which was the impacted side, and struggled to move what made matter worse was the bellow of black smoke emitting from Spannered Monkeys while Death Cult 1 span around the outside of the arena. Death Cult 1 darted carefully through the centre again and finished Spannered Monkeys off with one final slam.

**Winner:** Death Cult 1
