Season 3 crowned TheMekanic17 in D1, xAQxFr in D2, uijyl in D3, Wadz51 in E1 and JPlanteX in E2. Ferrari secured the BOTT championship on 1,512 points, 80 ahead of VCARB, after a finale that settled three of the five drivers' titles.
Those final gaps ranged from four points in E1 to 70 in D1. One title lead changed only at the finale, another survived an attempted 34-point heist, and D2 required Las Vegas to separate drivers who had been tied for two consecutive rounds.
Singapore and Qatar: five open contests find early leaders
Singapore opened with LKR Gerardo6, PerfectPaulie88, Uhmm What9409, II M4IK II and Ranga20063239 as the five winners. VCARB led BOTT by eight over Ferrari, while the individual leads ranged from five to seven points.
Qatar changed the names without simplifying the picture. Meowsy won D1 but piastrigoat took that championship lead; Ferrari moved first in BOTT and E1 through Darth Ussh’s victory and Wadz51’s second place; Haas paired xBugsWRLD’s first win with JDJT3593’s first podium in D3.
Bahrain and Abu Dhabi: the first gaps acquire weight
Bahrain made TheMekanic the D1 leader by 15 and uijyl the D3 leader by one. Red Bull won three divisions in the same round, while MilitaryMaple18 beat ForestalWaif1 by 0.156 seconds in E1 and CONNOROCE took a first IMS win from P6 in E2.
Abu Dhabi extended Wadz’s E1 lead to 25 through a first victory and introduced xAQxFr as a D2 winner. Quenooo29’s P17-to-P3 recovery protected the E2 lead, while Ranga20063239 denied HPJones by 0.999 seconds as the Mercedes driver took a first podium.
Mexico and Miami: Ferrari surges, then takes the season lead
Ferrari’s 198 Mexico points ranked third among IMS team rounds at the time and cut VCARB’s BOTT advantage to 38. The same weekend produced first wins for eetthedust and Cliq, while qwAsey reet and JPlanteX tightened separate title gaps.
Miami was the BOTT hinge. Ferrari outscored VCARB 180-124 and converted that 38-point deficit into an 18-point lead. XAQ took D2 first place in the standings by one, quenooo reached five IMS wins and BULLDOGGER47 won D1 from P5.
The Mystery Race and Monza: records fall, pressure changes direction
Ferrari scored a record 266 points at the Mystery Race, winning four divisions and stretching its BOTT lead from 18 to 71. PerfectPaulie88 and xAQ tied on 141 in D2 after a 0.222-second finish, while Meowsy gained 15 places from P18 to the D1 podium.
Monza returned the D2 pair to another tie on 167. Mercedes took the D1 constructors’ lead with a 68-point Gerardo–Meowsy pairing, zoolander83 ended a record 13-start podium drought and MakeSumUP claimed a first IMS win in D3.
Las Vegas: one reversal, one near miss and one tie finally broken
XAQ finished D2 five ahead of PerfectPaulie after two tied rounds. Ussh won E1 and cut Wadz’s 38-point advantage to four. JPlanteX erased an 18-point E2 deficit and finished seven ahead when quenooo did not start.
D1 and D3 resolved differently. TheMekanic’s lead had grown from 15 after Bahrain to a final 70; uijyl scored no points in the final two rounds and still finished D3 18 ahead. Meowsy’s P17-to-P1 Vegas drive supplied the finale’s great recovery, not a title change.
Five driver champions, five constructor champions, one BOTT winner
Mercedes finished first in the D1 constructors, Red Bull in D2, VCARB in D3 and Ferrari in both E1 and E2. Ferrari’s cross-division total delivered BOTT despite VCARB winning the final round by nine points.
Season 3’s final table did not flatten the route into it. One champion led from Round 3 onward; another emerged after two dead heats; one survived two absences; one survived a 34-point finale swing; one took the lead only at the last event. Nine rounds were enough to produce five entirely different title stories.
