SideFx99 climbed from 17th to fourth in Abu Dhabi D1, while MilitaryMaple18 advanced from 20th to seventh in D2. Each gained 13 places, matching the largest recovery recorded in IMS through Season 1 Round 6.
Neither result reached its divisional podium. SideFx stopped one position short of D1's top three; MilitaryMaple finished four places beyond the D2 podium. The shared record belongs to movement, not finishing silverware.
Four drivers now sit within one place of the record
The top-five comparison placed the Abu Dhabi pair alongside MSRT MagHeXC and jakebandy8 on 13 positions gained. IkonicKiyan7 and PRT Gignac09 followed with 12-place recoveries.
That is one record value with four holders, not four progressively larger records. Abu Dhabi's contribution was to double the membership in a single round and across two divisions.
Williams turns the deeper finish into 43 team points
Williams ranked second for the round on 43 points from six starts, one podium and two top-five finishes. MilitaryMaple's P7 sat outside those headline markers but formed part of the breadth behind them.
Spa came next with the recovery benchmark still fixed at 13. Abu Dhabi had not raised the number; SideFx and MilitaryMaple had made it much less exclusive.
