Her Wet Cat finished second in Spa D3 from second on the grid, securing a first IMS podium for Alpine. Yvngeze5654 won from third and aaAGOGE climbed from sixth to third.

Unlike the winner and third-place finisher, Her Wet Cat recorded no net position change. The milestone came from converting a front-row start into the same place at the flag.

Alpine scores 46 without a divisional win

Alpine placed second in the combined BOTT standings with 46 points, three behind Red Bull. Its six starts produced two podiums and three top-five finishes but no victory.

Her Wet Cat supplied one of those podiums and 18 points. PerfectPaulie88's D2 third place supplied the other, giving Alpine cross-division depth without the weekend's largest score.

Williams carries 12 points into the finale

Williams led Ferrari by 12 in the D3 constructors' standings after Spa. Her Wet Cat's podium belonged to Alpine's round performance rather than the supplied top-two title contest.

Austria came next. Her Wet Cat reached it with a first podium secured by holding position — less theatrical than a charge through the field, no less present in the result.
