Crowned at Abu Dhabi, Round 10, with 1 round remaining.

Legham777 won Spa D2 from P6, leading Kaтю́shа Snowstorm from P5 and tofo17 from P8. Aban-96- finished outside the retained podium but completed Season 5 first on 184 points, 45 ahead of Kaтю́shа.

Every podium finisher advanced: legham gained five positions, Kaтю́shа three and tofo five. The race belonged to movement from the third and fourth rows rather than a pole conversion.

Three forward moves fill the podium

Legham's five-place win supplied the maximum finish from the deepest starting spot among the top two. Tofo matched the five-place gain to reach third, while Kaтю́shа's runner-up score moved the Williams driver into final second.

Aban's title route had already absorbed the season's volatility. First from Round 4 through Brazil, second after Las Vegas, then first again after the P17-to-P1 Qatar victory, Aban arrived at Spa with the restored lead intact.

A lost lead returns for good

The closing progression shows PerfectPaulie88 crossing ahead at Round 8 and Aban crossing back at Round 9. The lead then expanded through Abu Dhabi and Spa until 184 stood 45 above the nearest rival.

Spa separated the event from the season. Legham owned the five-place victory. Aban owned the title table after recovering from the one-round Las Vegas reversal and holding first to the end.
