XBUGSWRLD claimed a first IMS victory in Qatar and JDJT3593 secured a first podium as Haas locked out the top two in D3. They started P2 and P6 respectively.
The pair scored 54 points between them and moved Haas to 99 after two rounds. VCARB remained second on 82, 17 points adrift.
P2 becomes a win; P6 becomes a first podium
XBUGS gained one position to win. JDJT gained four to follow home, while jak75421 took third for VCARB from P4. The Haas result was built with movement from both cars rather than inherited grid order.
The drivers’ standings told a subtler story. Uhmm What9409 still led on 45 points, with JDJT second on 38. The one-two strengthened Haas more decisively than it reordered the championship’s first position.
A team maximum without a new drivers’ leader
For Haas, Qatar joined the two useful ends of an archive story: personal landmarks for both drivers and a measurable championship return for the entrant. One fact did not have to be inflated to carry the other.
The final picture was clean. XBUGS had the first win, JDJT had the first podium, Haas had the one-two, and Uhmm What retained a seven-point drivers’ lead over the new runner-up.
