"The referees have reached their decision!" the announcer declared excitedly.
"Skyler will not be disqualified!"
The announcement echoed throughout the stadium.
Immediately, one of the broadcast crystals zoomed in on Skyler.
Or rather, on the poor racer desperately trying to outrun a relentless meteor shower.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Each impact left behind a massive crater only moments after Skyler's giant golden coin rolled past.
Skyler's panicked screams could be heard across the entire arena.
The spectators burst into laughter.
The broadcast then shifted away from the chaos and focused on the officials' platform.
Three figures sat behind an elegant judging table.
The first was an upright zebra wearing a tailored suit and a pair of rectangular spectacles.
Despite being a zebra, he carried himself with the dignity of an experienced professor.
His name was well known throughout the Grand Epix.
Mr. Mamboza.
