Season 1 reaches its halfway point with TheMekanic17 leading D1 by 34 points, jakebandy8 leading D2 by one and Lurrrks leading the newly launched D3 by eight. The numbers share a round; they do not share a mood.

Las Vegas strengthened the clearest advantage. TheMekanic won D1 from second on the grid, reached 83 points and left SomaticCoast375 second on 49.

D2 stands still while the race finds a new winner

Jake and Ranga did not start the Las Vegas D2 round, preserving their 59-58 order from the Mystery Race. Tofo17 used the vacant stage to win from third, ahead of Tedoi6974 and PerfectPaulie88.

McLaren still expanded its D2 constructors' lead to 29 points over Aston Martin. The drivers' duel froze; the team contest did not, a useful reminder that an absent protagonist can leave more than one table behind.

D3 begins with eight points and a tie

Lurrrks won the first D3 race from seventh and led Zoolander83 by eight points. In the constructors' standings, Red Bull and Ferrari both held 26, with Red Bull listed first.

Silverstone comes next with four rounds remaining. D1 asks whether anyone can interrupt TheMekanic; D2 asks which absent leader returns stronger; D3 has barely had time to decide what normal looks like.
