EBIRD CLINCHES HIS FIRST TITLE IN A1881 IN A DRAMATIC WAY!

Ebird clinched the Season 5 title in a strategic way in Spain GP, while Endru showed incredible pace and character but lost on equal points by finishing the race third behind Dupewar…


Ebird took pole and increased the lead consistently until the SC period. He then surprisingly switched to softs while there were still 20 laps to go and positioned himself right behind Endru after switching to second set of softs. He overtook Endru in a few laps after this but Endru becoming second was not bringing the title to him so he reduced pace and started battling Endru, which cost Endru time and brought Dupewar back in the game. This was a risky decision because it could have ended with a collision or Dupewar overtaking both in which case Endru would be the champion. Endru was still P2 in last lap but was unable to stay ahead with worn mediums vs Dupewar’s hards. By also taking the fastest lap, Ebird equaled his points with Endru and was declared as the champion based on the number of races won. He was cheerful but felt the need to respond to criticisms towards his strategy: “It definitely feels really good to have won the championship and beat both Endru who was 13 points ahead of me going into the finale and Dan who led the championship throughout the entire season.

Some might say my tactics were quite dodgy when I overtook Endru who was on old mediums and I was on new softs but I realised he was likely to finish P2 so I slowed him down to give Dupewar a chance to overtake him in which he did on the last lap...

I just want to say thank you Dan and Endru for an amazing season.

Thank you for an amazing season Rollie and for an amazing league with a great community!”

With this amazing win, Ebird has been the only driver to win 6 races in a season since the seasons are shortened to 10 races and he equaled with Dupewar in the number of races won in total with 7, whom he partly owes the title.

Endru deserves a paragraph for the incredible performance he showed despite having a relatively slow car. He has overcome many obstacles, reached podiums despite quali bans, taking his first win in the league and led the championship going into the last race. He lost the title only a few turns left to finish and despite this he showed a very respectful attitude post race. He has shown he has the quality to be in the title fight whatever car he will be sitting in next season.

Dan also has been impressive especially at the beginning of the season and led the championship for a long while. He had an unlucky and clumsy race yesterday on Spain soil and retired his car in the pits after losing hopes for the title, yet he was able to reach his first medal in the league alongside his eggplant…

In 4th place was Burtay who was replacing Pomak and had a good pace throughout, threatened Endru for a long time and brought Ferrari important points. But this was not sufficient for the tifosi to climb above Mercedes in WCC. Behind him was Tbran who got his best result in A1881 by reaching 5th, also saving himself from triple eggplants. He was followed by Leegoat, who has been a good and supportive teammate throughout the season.

Altan was 7th, and this was more than enough for him and Alpine to be “the best of the rest” in WDC and WCC, giving him and his team 4th place, one point above Rollie, 27 points above Mclaren. He was followed by Rothnz who cost Rollie the 4th place in WDC with his new expensive rig. Rollie finished 9th after suffering a wing damage in T1 and was followed by Keon who actually was ahead of Rollie but gave way to his teammate. Mrmccann saved himself from his Williams season with P11, followed by Butcher who also had a good result, ending the season without an eggplant but still at the bottom of standings. Cmrcnn came 13th but was still unable to climb above Sir Ibbo in final standings, who finished 14th in Spain.

This season has been the second season in which the champion was determined by the number of races won, and surely one to remember. Thanks to all the drivers involved!

ENDRU SNATCHES DRAMATIC LAST-LAP WIN IN WET-DRY BELGIUM THRILLER

Image
Endru delivered a stunning victory at Spa for Williams, securing his first win of the season after a chaotic 44-lap race that transitioned from dry to wet in the final stages. He narrowly beat Ferrari’s NaeDangerDavid and Aston Martin’s AA_Mejg, who stormed from the very back of the grid after serving what can be called a “mental quali ban” to finish third... The Belgian Grand Prix began under dry skies, with NaeDangerDavid starting from pole and immediately defending hard. Endru, starting from P12, surged through the field, reaching second by lap five and managing his tires and fuel expertly. His early pace gave him a large advantage, but a mid-race safety car erased his 15-second lead. At the restart, Endru rebuilt a gap quickly but received a drive-through penalty that dropped him back. Determined to recover, he fought his way forward and reeled in David again—just as rain began to fall. The late rain turned the race into a high-risk strategy battle. David opted to pit for intermedi...

AA_MEJG TAKES BRAZIL GP WIN AS JORDAN CLINCHES SEASON 19 WDC CROWN

In a dramatic feature race at Interlagos – the only sprint weekend in A1881 history – AA_Mejg took a hard-earned victory for Aston Martin, followed by newly crowned Season 19 world champion Jordan in the Alpine, with NaeDangerDavid delivering another impressive Ferrari drive to claim third. The championship fight for P2 and P3 in the WDC remains alive, as does the battle for the Williams–Alpine WCC crown, heading into the Las Vegas finale.. . The weekend began with Jordan taking the sprint win ahead of Mejg in a dominant low-drag, hard-tyre strategy display, the Alpine–Aston pairing finishing well clear of the rest. But in the feature race, starting from P5, Mejg quickly dispatched rivals, climbing to third within the first two corners. After chasing and passing Rian’s Williams by lap 4, he seemed in control, only to be briefly undercut by both Endru and Rian during the pit cycle. Showing the determination of a three-time champion, Mejg retook both positions and then managed the gap un...

SV5 MASTERS THE CARNAGE AT JEDDAH SEASON OPENER

Image
The Saudi Arabian GP kicked off the new season in brutal fashion, with SV5 taking a commanding win under the lights of Jeddah ahead of Bards and his teammate Selecta. The podium set the tone for a chaotic opener that was a likely scenario for Jeddah, more so when cockpit cam is forced... From pole, SV5 looked razor-sharp in his new Racing Bulls machinery, especially with the usual title heavyweights Jordan and Mejg absent, leaving the spotlight wide open. When the lights went out, that spotlight turned into a floodlight of chaos almost instantly. A massive first-lap incident at Turn 3 saw Justin clatter into NaeDangerDavid, with Elche also collected, triggering the first safety car and causing widespread damage down the field. Gordini was among those carrying wounds for the rest of the race, nursing underbody damage but somehow surviving it, having to pit on hards to change wing, which turned out to be a good choice with the second safety car. Up front, SV5, Bards in the Williams, and ...
