Crowned at the Las Vegas season finale.

Darth Ussh won Las Vegas E1 from P2 and scored 40 points. Wadz51 added six, leaving the final Season 3 standings at 210-206 and converting a 38-point pre-race lead into a four-point finish.

Wadz51 remained first in E1, but Las Vegas removed 34 of the 38 points held after Monza in one round. The order survived; almost all of the margin did not.

P2 wins; two new podium routes follow

Ussh gained one place to win for Ferrari. Walter9500 moved from P3 to second for Alpine and secured a first IMS podium, while BBLDRiZZY6523 advanced from fifth to third for VCARB.

The top three do not contain Wadz51, so the championship swing cannot be mistaken for a direct podium duel. Its verified mechanism is the points allocation: Ussh gained 40, Wadz51 six, and the gap contracted by 34.

Three rounds of expansion disappear in one

Wadz51 led Ussh by 23 after Miami, 32 after the Mystery Race and 38 after Monza. Each of those rounds expanded the advantage. Las Vegas reversed more than the previous three had added together.

The final table therefore records control and jeopardy at once. Wadz51's 210 preserved first place by four; Ussh's victory supplied the maximum-pressure finish, taking a championship that had looked increasingly spaced out and compressing it at the last opportunity.
