Websey opened an IMS career with pole, victory and fastest lap for Red Bull in Australia's D1 race—a complete sweep on debut.

Ben gained five places to finish second for Aston Martin, and LimitlessDraco3 moved from P5 to put the second Red Bull on the podium in third.

Nothing left on the opening-night checklist

Australia was Websey's first eligible IMS start, so the career ledger begins without a warm-up act: one pole, one fastest lap, one podium and one victory from one appearance.

Australia was both the debut and the entire career record through the flag: one start, one pole, one fastest lap, one podium, one win and 27 points.

Red Bull receives the complete package

A debut victory can still leave part of the weekend unconquered. Websey left no such loose end, taking every headline result available before a second IMS start even existed.

A debut win can still leave caveats about grid position or outright pace. Websey's did not. Pole, fastest lap and P1 made the first page of the career look suspiciously like a finished highlights reel.
