IND1ANGOAT won Las Vegas E1 from seventh by 0.170 seconds over Wadz51, the ninth-closest IMS finish through Season 5 Round 8. Piastrigoat completed the podium from P5.
The margin sat between the tied 0.163-second finishes in seventh and Balu3580's 0.214-second Japan win in tenth. Only 0.044 seconds separated ninth from the bottom of the displayed table.
The top ten makes ninth visible
Tofo17's 0.009-second Mexico win remained first, followed by Techubi at 0.057 and Tratracer23 at 0.073. IND1ANGOAT's margin was 0.161 seconds larger than the record.
The victory was notable beyond the stopwatch. IND1ANGOAT gained six grid places, more than Wadz51's two and piastrigoat's two combined.
Close at the flag, long from the grid
The combination gives the result its character: a winner arriving from P7 and a margin measured in thousandths. Either fact would be interesting; together they make Vegas distinctive.
The historical table locates the finish precisely. Eight IMS races had ended closer; every result below IND1ANGOAT's was at least 0.214 seconds.
