UKTUS reached a first IMS podium by climbing from eighth to third in Singapore's D1 race. It was the largest positional gain among the three finishers on the rostrum.
Winner Sammy278 started fourth and runner-up Darth Ussh sixth, giving the entire podium a recovery theme. UKTUS began deepest and still finished within the first three.
Five places make a first
The difference between P8 and P3 was more than an attractive movement number. It put UKTUS on an IMS podium for the first time and gave Alpine representation alongside Ferrari's one-two.
D1's championship focus sat with Ussh and Sammy, separated by ten points, but Singapore's classification held another development below them: a new name had entered the top-three conversation.
The result widens D1's cast
A breakthrough podium does not promise repetition, but it changes what the next grid means. UKTUS would arrive in Texas with an official top-three finish built from a starting position well outside it.
Ferrari owned the first two places. UKTUS owned the largest climb and the personal landmark. Singapore's D1 podium was broad enough to carry both stories without confusing them.
