Standings Impact
KingCobra was the week's runaway riser, leaping dozens of spots up the board after a big points haul, while Racing Hardts' win pushed the club well up the standings ladder too. Near the top, NCC-1702 and RightTurnRyan remain locked in a tight battle, with the podium separated by only a handful of points.
Looking Ahead
With 13 races still left on the schedule and the top two teams separated by a slim margin, this title race looks far from settled. Just a dozen of the league's active rosters cracked 150 points this week, underscoring how narrow the gap between a good week and a great one really is. Expect the standings churn to continue as managers chase every last point down the stretch.
