Willow won Las Vegas E2 from P3 and scored 40 points for Mercedes. JPlanteX finished third from pole, added 25 and moved to first in the final standings because quenooo29 did not start the finale.
JPlanteX ended on 184 points, seven ahead of quenooo29 on 177. The last-round movement covered 25 points in total: an 18-point deficit after Monza became a seven-point advantage in Las Vegas.
P3 wins, P9 reaches second, pole takes third
Willow gained two places to win. CONNOROCE supplied the largest movement on the E2 podium, climbing seven positions from P9 to second for VCARB, while JPlanteX moved from P1 to P3 for Ferrari.
The race winner was not one of the two drivers exchanging the standings lead. That separation matters: Willow owned Las Vegas; JPlanteX's third place supplied the points needed to pass an absent rival.
The closest gap arrives before the reversal
Quenooo29 led JPlanteX by 20 after Mexico, 29 after Miami, eight after the Mystery Race and 18 after Monza. The Round 7 compression had already shown how quickly 40 points for JPlanteX could alter the comparison.
Las Vegas completed the movement without a direct contest between them. JPlanteX scored 25; quenooo29 remained on 177. The reason for the non-start is not retained, but its championship consequence is exact: first place changed hands by seven points.
