Kelenic 6233 climbed from P20 to P5 in Las Vegas, gaining 15 positions for the joint third-biggest recovery in IMS history through the Season 3 finale.
The charge did not end on the podium, but it carried the D3 driver from the last grid slot into a top-five finish. The scale sits in the positions traversed rather than the trophy count.
Seventeen, 16, then a three-way tie on 15
Duxnuts69 leads the comparison with 17 places at Canada, followed by Darth Ussh’s 16 at Jeddah. Kelenic shares 15 with SideFx99 and RoydeBoy1564.
Kelenic and SideFx even share the same route—P20 to P5—across different divisions and seasons. RoydeBoy’s 15-place entry ended in victory from P16, showing how the same gain can produce a different reward.
A finale story below the podium line
The Las Vegas D3 headline went to the winner and the championship resolution. Kelenic’s fifth place adds another layer: the division’s largest recovery happened outside the first three positions.
P20 to P5 is why the result belongs in the season archive. Fifteen places put kelenic level with the third-highest recovery mark, even without a podium to advertise the work.
