Crowned at the Spa season finale.

FatCatBatMan465 won both D1 and E1 at Spa. The D1 victory came from P3; the E1 win came from pole by 0.081 seconds over Triske043, the fourth-closest IMS finish through Season 5 Round 11.

The double did not make FatCat champion in either table. Sammy278 finished D1 first on 190, 14 ahead of FatCat, while Sintium completed E1 first on 181, 19 ahead of Triske.

P3 wins D1, pole holds E1

FatCat gained two places in D1, leading UKTUS from P5 and Techubi from P11. E1 preserved the first three grid positions: FatCat, Triske and Jonno finished in the order they started.

The E1 gap supplied the finer scale. The historical table places 0.081 fourth among the closest finishes and shows the three smaller margins above it, keeping the rank inspectable.

The victories stop short of the titles

FatCat's D1 score moved the total from 143 to 176 and secured final second. The E1 win belonged to the race only; Sintium's 181 remained 19 ahead of Triske after Spa.

Spa therefore gave FatCat the rarest finale result without giving the same driver a season crown. Two classifications ended with FatCat first; two championships ended with Sammy and Sintium first.
