Singapore enters the margin tableIMS story

The Kick Sauber driver converted D3 pole by a margin large enough to enter the all-time top ten, directly between two 20-second benchmarks.

F7 vrb 99 won Singapore's D3 race from pole by 20.458 seconds, the eighth-largest winning margin recorded in IMS through Season 5 Round 3. OnlineGuy99 finished second and NesbiLeGrand recovered from tenth to third.

The margin placed F7 vrb 99 between FTR Button's 21.006-second Zandvoort-R win and Katriel FX's 20.404-second Hungary victory. Only 0.054 seconds separated eighth from ninth on the historical list.

The complete top ten gives eighth its meaning

Her Wet Cat's 29.662-second Imola win remained first, followed by qwAsey reet's 23.055 seconds in Australia and Jonno's 22.061 seconds in Hungary. F7's Singapore mark sat 9.204 seconds below the record.

At the other end of the displayed ten, jak75421's 20.315-second Baku win was only 0.143 seconds smaller. The cluster around 20 seconds shows how narrow the difference was between eighth and falling off this particular table.

A large win, a resistant championship

The standings did not mirror the size of the victory. NesbiLeGrand's recovery to third kept the Ferrari driver first on 83 points, 31 ahead of OnlineGuy99.

Singapore therefore produced two valid headlines: F7 vrb 99 delivered a historically emphatic race win, while NesbiLeGrand absorbed it and retained a substantial season lead.
