Higosh beat L3on Tyl3r2500 by 0.084 seconds in the Las Vegas D4 race, the fifth-closest finish in IMS history through Season 7 Round 4.

Higosh started second and finished first for Williams; L3on moved from third to second for VCARB. EdvonSchleck88 supplied the other shape in the race, charging from 15th to third for Aston Martin.

Only four margins were smaller

The comparison begins with tofo17's 0.009-second D2 win over sirspinsal0t at Season 5 Mexico. Techubi's 0.057, Tratracer23's 0.073 and FatCatBatMan465's 0.081 fill the next three places before the Las Vegas result.

Higosh did not merely win a close race. The 0.084-second margin sits behind four named precedents and ahead of every other recorded finish through Season 7 Round 4.

One result, two title effects

JDJT3593 still led the D4 standings after Las Vegas on 66 points, ten ahead of jazzy-draught9. Higosh's win did not install a new championship leader, but it contributed to Williams' round-leading 155 BOTT points.

Las Vegas was decided by less than a tenth and remembered with a full top-five comparison. That is the correct scale of drama: tiny on the clock, exact on the page.

Career ledger for Higosh!: win number 1

Career start number eight gave Higosh a first IMS victory and a third podium, lifting the points total to 114 across Seasons 6 and 7. The Las Vegas win now stands as the decisive line in that compact career record.
