Crowned at Spa, Round 13, with 1 round remaining.

Cloud won Brazil D1 from P6 and finished Season 6 first on 282 points, 83 ahead of Tratracer23. The nearest championship rival did not start and remained on 199.

Demaiko finished second from pole and Raptorr third from P3. Cloud gained five places, the largest movement on a podium otherwise occupied by its first and third starters.

P6 reaches both kinds of first

The race result and final table aligned on the same driver. Cloud converted the third row into victory and added 30 points to the 252 carried from Spa.

The brief establishes Tratracer's non-start but not its cause. The sporting consequence is precise: zero Brazil points and a total fixed at 199 while Cloud moved to 282.

The exact tie grows into eighty-three

Cloud and Tratracer had been level on 156 after Japan. Four rounds later, Cloud's Brazil victory completed an 83-point final advantage. The finale confirms the end state without replaying every intervening race.

Brazil was the clean convergence of event and season. Cloud started sixth, finished first and closed the D1 standings in the same position on 282 points.
