VCARB collected four podiums in Texas, matching the strongest team-round total in IMS history through Season 2 Round 6. The team scored 115 points from nine starts without winning a division.

ForestalWaif1 finished second in D1 and D2, while jak75421 took third in D3 and E2. Two drivers, four classifications and no victory formed the entire record-equalling set.

Five rounds share the four-podium mark

VCARB's 115-point Texas round joined Ferrari's 142 at Silverstone, Ferrari's 178 at Imola, Red Bull's 128 in Hungary and Ferrari's 166 in Portugal. Every entry contained four podiums; VCARB alone recorded no win.

That distinction explains why podium count and total points tell different stories. Red Bull won Texas with 164 points and three victories, while VCARB finished third in the round table despite reaching more trophy positions.

The D2 lead grows to 36

VCARB left Texas leading the D2 constructors' standings on 194 points, 36 ahead of McLaren on 158. Forestal's second place helped extend the team championship advantage even while RoydeBoy1564 took the race win.

Jeddah came next with VCARB holding a record for accumulation rather than domination. Four podiums without a win sounds contradictory only until the five-division classification is allowed to do the explaining.
