Las Vegas crowned xAQxFr as D2 champion, Wadz51 as E1 champion and JPlanteX as E2 champion. Uijyl arrived with the D3 title already secured: a 43-point Monza advantage had exceeded the 42 still available in the finale.

Those four outcomes shared a final weekend and almost nothing else. One title broke a dead heat, one survived a 34-point assault, one changed hands when the leader did not start, and one had become mathematical before its champion missed a second consecutive race.

D2: two dead heats finally produce one champion

XAQxFr and PerfectPaulie88 had tied at 141 after the Mystery Race and 167 after Monza. XAQ scored 30 in Las Vegas to PerfectPaulie's 25, turning two rounds of equality into a 197-192 championship and a five-point crown.

E1: Ussh wins the race; Wadz keeps the title by four

Darth Ussh won Las Vegas and outscored Wadz 40-6. The 34-point swing demolished most of a 38-point deficit, but Wadz's 210 still beat Ussh's 206. The race belonged to the challenger; the E1 championship remained with Wadz by four points.

E2: JPlanteX converts the only final-round lead change

Quenooo29 had led after Mexico, Miami, the Mystery Race and Monza, carrying 18 points into Las Vegas. Quenooo did not start; JPlanteX scored 25 and reversed 177-159 into 184-177. An 18-point deficit became a seven-point title.

D3: the crown was settled before the absent champion returned

Uijyl reached 167 at the Mystery Race and scored no more after missing Monza and Las Vegas. Monza reduced the advantage to 43, but only 42 remained, making uijyl champion one round early. Vegas narrowed the final margin to 18; it did not decide the title again.

BOTT: VCARB wins the finale; Ferrari wins the championship

VCARB outscored Ferrari 183-174 in Las Vegas and reduced the BOTT deficit by nine. Ferrari nevertheless secured the Season 3 crown by 80 points because its earlier Miami and Mystery Race swings had already built the difference the finale could not erase.
