Uhmm What9409 returned to the IMS podium after six starts by finishing second in the Mystery Race D3 classification. The wait tied the fourth-longest recorded podium drought through Season 3 Round 7.

The Mercedes driver started and finished P2, behind uijyl’s P3-to-P1 victory and ahead of MakeSumUP, who advanced from P4 to third.

Two 10-start waits remain the benchmark

ELITE HEAT SHOW and BULLDOGGER47 share the top historical mark at 10 starts. II M4IK II follows at seven, then Uhmm What and qwAsey reet at six.

The five-row comparison shows exactly why the return ranks fourth: six is one start short of third and four short of the joint leaders, with qwAsey sharing the same historical value.

No recovery required, but a return achieved

Unlike several drought-ending drives, Uhmm What’s route did not depend on gaining places. P2 became P2, and holding that position was enough to end the six-start absence.

The Mystery Race supplied 33 points, second place and a return to the podium list. The historical table supplies the scale: joint fourth-longest, behind waits of 10, 10 and seven starts.
