IMS begins Season 3 in Singapore with nine F1 24 rounds and all five divisions active from the opening weekend. Las Vegas sits at the other end of a calendar that also includes a Mystery Race at Round 7.

Piastrigoat returns as D1 champion, ForestalWaif1 as D2 champion, Her Wet Cat as D3 champion, Darth Ussh as E1 champion and quenooo29 as E2 champion. Ferrari carries the first BOTT crown into the new campaign.

Nine rounds, no late-arriving division

Singapore, Qatar, Bahrain, Abu Dhabi, Mexico and Miami form the first six rounds. The Mystery Race follows before Monza and Las Vegas close a compact route in which D1, D2, D3, E1 and E2 all score throughout.

That changes the rhythm from Season 2, when E2 joined at Texas. Season 3 begins with every individual table and every team contribution live immediately; there is nowhere for a weak division to hide until halfway.

The champions return; the team leadership changes around them

TheMekanic17 again leads Red Bull and zoolander83 remains at Ferrari, but the opening grid also places SachouYTB at Alpine, Nebulan187 at Aston Martin and JDJT3593 at Haas. Ten named Team Principals cover the full field.

Singapore must establish five championship leaders and the first BOTT order at once. Season 2 supplied clear reference points—five champions and Ferrari 440 points clear—but Season 3 shortens the calendar, activates every division from day one and asks whether any of that authority survives contact with nine new weekends.
