2001 ATBW Blog Race

The 2001 ATBW Blog Race was the third race held after the 1997 ATBW Blog Race and before the 2005 ATBW Blog Race. It was hosted by both Merrill Studios and Signature Studios.

The map for this race online was redesigned by Signature Studios and the track was expanded by 1235 studs instead of the 615 studs from the previous olympics. Additionally with more companies participating, there were eight lanes instead of five from the previous race. Both raced in race cars first and semi trucks second, with speedboats in the third. As there were eight companies at the time instead of five from the previous race, 4th place was designated as the lowest winning place, instead of 3rd place from the previous one, even though 3rd was the lowest place to win a medal.

In this race, Calligraphy Studios won first, Signature Studios won second, Merrill Studios won third, and Wedgehead Studios won fourth. Rose Gold Studios lost at fifth place even though it was almost at fourth, Pagoda Studios was at sixth place, Elephant Studios was at seventh, and Watercolor Studios was at eighth.

This is the first race held after the turn of the millennium on January 1, 2001, as well as the turn of the century. As a result, a CLP Millennium logo was displayed before the race.
