Aban-96- won Qatar D2 from P17 and retook the championship lead. The 16-place recovery helped produce a 30-point swing against PerfectPaulie88, turning an 11-point deficit into a 19-point advantage.
Sirspinsal0t finished second from P2 and jhazztan third from P7. The winner started 15 places behind the runner-up and ten behind third, then finished ahead of both.
Sixteen places carry thirty points of swing
The grid comparison shows the physical scale: P17 to P1. The standings show the competitive scale: 108-119 after Las Vegas became 138-119 after Qatar. PerfectPaulie's total remained fixed while Aban added 30.
The result does not preserve why one contender did not score, so the article stops at the arithmetic. Aban's victory supplied the points; the official snapshots establish the reversal.
The Vegas lead lasts one round
PerfectPaulie had taken first at Las Vegas after a two-round recovery from 31 behind. Qatar answered immediately. D2's lead had now changed in consecutive rounds, first by 11 points and then by 19 in the opposite direction.
Aban's Qatar win united the race and championship stories more directly than Vegas had. The same P17-to-P1 recovery that owned the classification also restored the driver to first in the season table.
