Category for round 5: They call that a sport? :Think far off into the future and give us your take on what the national past time may be in the next century or so!
Year 2381. F1 races are a sport from the past. Now, the biggest show on Earth is...
StarShip Races
These races are held in the major cities around the world and everyone wants to see them live. The spaceships use high developed fuel cells and can achieve dizzying speeds. People no longer want to see boring sports. They crave to see these spectacular races live and I've been told that you need a large amount of money to get a seat in the front rows... But if you need one, give me a call! :D

Hey! I think I see a familiar face...
Swoosh...
I think my wife is at home... I can see light in my flat from here!

Thanks guys for all the comments! And thank you judges for the feedback! It's been a wonderfull experience participating in MocOlympics for the first time! This is really quite a show of Lego creations! Congrats to all the finalists and specially to my opponent Jason!
A race is a good take on the category, António, nevertheless, my vote goes to your opponent this time. I like both of your ships and especially their different yet matching designs. The grandstand and the buildings don't really fit in, they show a completely different design style and disturb the overall image.
Exquisite detailing and clever use of light here. Really unique shapes to your spacecraft. In the end I had to give my vote to your opponent simply because I felt a bit more "involved" in the sporting atmosphere in that build. Still, a very high-quality piece you've put together here and I thank you for sharing it.
Mr. Silva, Both entries embraced the future concept quite well. I like the way you used motion and light to highlight your strengths. My judgement is not about scale, rather detail, and I felt your opponent created a more lush environment, and thus earned my vote. Thank you for your take on the category.

A wonderful entry, but if I were a judge I would not forgive you for trying to assassinate my eyes. I really like it though, more than Jason's (but don't tell him lol) . That green racer is awesome :)

Great racers... oh, thanks for the video footage of the race in slow motion... we were able to see the action better! Hee, hee! :)
Hehehe! :D If I turned it a little more fast it would fall down in a million pieces...
This is a great entry and I LOVE those racers! The light up parts were a really nice touch. But I'm gonna have to give my vote to Jason on this one. Good luck with the other judges! ~ Chris.
Man, I am in love with those racers, especially the Green Splinter! I also like how you added lights and movement to everything. A fantastic entry! Good luck!
Excellent entry, Antonio! Especially that wicked Green Splinter ship! However, my vote goes to your opponent due to the scale and complexity of his build. Good luck with the other judges!
