Poulparindo4256 advanced from 19th on the Las Vegas D1 grid to ninth at the finish. The ten-place gain ranked joint fourth in IMS history through Season 1 Round 4.

TheMekanic17, Thalo4 and SomaticCoast375 occupied the D1 podium. Poulparindo's story lived deeper in the classification: a double-digit recovery that stopped six places short of third.

The five-row proof ends in a tie for fourth

MagHeXC and Jakebandy8 led the historical comparison with 13 gains apiece. IkonicKiyan7 followed on 12, then Poulparindo and GMDD VINKE95 shared the next mark on 10.

That makes the wording exact: Poulparindo held the fourth-best value, tied with VINKE95, while appearing on the fourth row of the ordered display. The table removes any need for a grander adjective.

VCARB's headline belongs elsewhere, its range does not

VCARB's Las Vegas round was led by tofo17's D2 victory, the team's only top-five finish. Poulparindo's P9 supplied a different measure of the weekend: how much progress existed outside the winner's frame.

The archive moved on to Silverstone with Poulparindo inside the recovery leaderboard, not the Las Vegas podium. Those are different honours; this result needed no help confusing them.
