Ferrari scored 289 BOTT points in Bahrain, setting a new IMS team-round record through Season 5 Round 1. Three wins, seven podiums and eight top-five finishes from 12 starts put the team 64 ahead of VCARB.
WSL Klunkyboi won D2, NesbiLeGrand D3 and geo2002 E3. Ferrari also placed ctxVincent second in D2, zoolander83 second in D3, Sammy278 third in D1 and Nesbi second in E3.
Six divisions change the scoring scale
Season 5 opened with E3 added to the result card, giving each team up to 12 starts across six classifications. Ferrari used that expanded canvas immediately: podiums arrived in D1, D2, D3 and E3, with two lockouts among them.
The three victories alone do not explain 289. Ferrari occupied both leading positions in D2 and D3, then first and second again in E3 through geo2002 and Nesbi. Seven of the round's 18 podium places belonged to one team.
The record comes with its comparison
The historical table presents the five largest team round scores and highlights Bahrain in first. It shows the new six-division total beside its nearest predecessors instead of leaving 289 as an unsupported superlative.
Bahrain was only the opener, but its team result already had permanent scale. Ferrari led BOTT on 289 to VCARB's 225 because three winners were reinforced by a podium presence extending across four divisions.
