Arsenalboyz101 finished third in the China D3 race after starting seventh, ending the longest podium drought in IMS history at 26 starts.
Babba won from P19 for Mercedes and Soup9567 advanced from P6 to second for Kick Sauber. Arsenal's VCARB completed a podium made entirely of recoveries.
The full comparison makes 26 visible
Webbah87's 19-start wait occupies second, followed by PerfectPaulie88 on 18, Carlos Velez on 17 and tofo17 on 15. Arsenal's drought exceeds each one outright.
The seven-start difference between first and second is almost half the length of the fifth-place drought. That is why China's return sits clearly at the head of the table.
Four places complete the return
Arsenal gained four positions from P7 to P3. The recovery was smaller than Babba's 18-place winning charge, but it ended the longer personal absence measured by starts.
China's D3 podium therefore carries two distinct extremes: the winner travels from P19, while third place closes the longest recorded wait between podium appearances.
