JORDAN REPEATS DOMINANCE IN SAUDI ARABIA WITH ANOTHER MASTERCLASS WIN

Round 6 of Season 18 took place under the lights of the high-speed Jeddah Corniche Circuit, and it was once again Jordan who stole the spotlight. Piloting his VisaRB car, the pole-sitter never looked back, controlling the entire race from the front and taking a lights-to-flag victory. He was joined on the podium by AA_Mejg in the Alpine and Rollie in the Aston Martin, marking an identical top three to last week’s Bahrain showdown.


It was a statement drive from Jordan, who’s now racked up back-to-back victories and has moved himself to second in the World Drivers’ Championship standings. Although a perfect “grand slam” slipped from his grasp thanks to a last-lap fastest lap by wildcard star Justin in the Mercedes, Jordan’s dominance over the full race distance in this 100% length round left little doubt about his current form.

AA_Mejg continues to lead the WDC with 204 points after a solid second place drive, extending his consistency streak and proving why he's still the one to beat. As for Rollie, he’s found a groove in the Aston Martin, securing his third podium of the season and making it two in a row...

The driver of the day, however, was Justin. Filling in for TarkanGino in the Mercedes, he lined up P19 after a DSQ in qualifying, yet carved his way through the field with precision to finish a brilliant fifth. He even snatched the fastest lap from Jordan on the final tour, showcasing raw pace and race craft, and delivering valuable wildcard points for Mercedes.

Behind the front-runners, NaeDangerDavid continued his steady form with a strong fourth place in the Haas, once again knocking on the podium door. Though he’s yet to step on it this season, his results are keeping Haas competitive in the WCC. His teammate Keon brought the second Haas home in tenth after a solid midfield scrap.

Further down the grid, the Alpine of Endru came home eighth after running well early on, while Ferrari’s Dunce had a quieter outing than usual, finishing ninth and losing his P2 in the championship to Jordan by a single point. Selecta delivered a smooth drive in the second Mercedes to claim seventh, bouncing back well from a qualifying ban and continuing his recent upward trend.

Williams had a mixed day. Rothnz finished sixth with a clean and opportunistic race, while Bhavish sadly retired after a strong qualifying in P4. Joining him on the DNF list were Slowfiveohh in the Ferrari, Inginne in the RedBull, Quartiux in the McLaren, Tvoje_mamkacz in the other Aston Martin, and Gordini in the second VisaRB—all victims of various incidents in the tight and technical walls of Jeddah.

Dan marked his return to the full-time grid for KICK Sauber with a straightforward run to eleventh, largely on his own for most of the race. RedBull’s wildcard TSC_Racing showed impressive development once again, finishing twelfth and bringing home consistent points to support Crunchypancake’s campaign. Sir_Ibbo was thirteenth for McLaren after a measured drive, driving his car on 3 wheels for a full lap to bring it safely to pits on one occasion and finish the race Ibbo style.

With no safety cars deployed throughout the 50-lap race, it was a clean and high-caliber showcase of A1881’s competitive and respectful racing—even on one of the trickiest tracks on the calendar.

Jordan still could not be reached after his win for the interview...

As the championship heats up, all eyes turn to Baku for Round 7 next Sunday—a %50 race on the chaotic streets of Azerbaijan, handpicked by NaeDangerDavid. Expect drama, walls, and maybe a shake-up in both the WDC and WCC!

Catch all the action from the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix, with full race commentary by the legendary Ironghost, even singing a RocknRollie song!

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

Image
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.

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 ...
