tofo17 won the Spa D2 race from second on the grid and scored 25 points for VCARB. The result removed 15 points from Ranga20063239's championship advantage.
TheMekanic17 finished second from fourth and PerfectPaulie88 climbed from eighth to third. Ranga scored ten points outside the supplied podium, enough to remain the leader but not enough to resist tofo's full swing.
Ranga keeps 23 points for the Austria finale
Ranga moved from 92 to 102 points. PerfectPaulie advanced from 64 to 79 and became the nearest challenger, leaving 23 points between first and second.
Tofo's 15-point swing did not place him in the supplied top two; it changed the amount of protection around the leader. The win mattered to the title race through points taken away as much as points kept.
VCARB closes from 39 points back to two
VCARB added 37 D2 constructor points and rose from fourth to second on 113. McLaren scored zero and remained first on 115, turning a 39-point gap into two before Austria.
Spa gave tofo the race and VCARB the momentum; it gave neither the championship lead. Austria would decide whether two points was a warning or merely the final margin beginning to take shape.
