Kevin Chmielewski — from last

Reverse-grid P9 to the win: fourth by lap 4, on the leader’s gearbox by lap 9, in front from lap 14. 8 overtakes, zero positions lost, +4.574 s at the flag.

Chmielewski takes the maximum

Two wins from two sprints — 61 points, the highest score available. It cuts Grabowski’s championship lead from 30 points to 11.

Herbrig vs. Rothe

Within 0.04 s on lap 7, and within 1.5 s for 10 of the 16 laps. Rothe led lap 8; Herbrig took it straight back on lap 9.

Thomas Herbrig — 0 incidents

Second place with a zero-incident race, the only clean sheet of the round. Combined with eighth in Race 1 it moves him to third in the championship.

Rothe: second on the road, fourth on paper

He crossed the line 1.012 s behind the winner, but a black flag shown 16 seconds before the finish left him classified P4 at +35.648 s.

Lucian Grabowski — 1:17.038

A repair penalty, two stops and two black flags left him eighth and a lap down — with the fastest lap of the race.

The yellow line is Chmielewski closing from eight seconds to zero in twelve laps. Flat at zero is whoever led that lap.

Clean-lap distribution. The top four are inside half a second of each other — the closest field spread of the season.

All repair work: Luhn twice for 318 s combined, Grabowski twice, Wlach once. Post-flag cool-down entries are excluded.

Only penalties — this log has no per-incident telemetry events. Rothe’s marker on the far right is the black flag that cost him second place.

Chmielewski’s yellow line from P9 to P1. Note the chart shows the order on track: Rothe is second at the flag, fourth in the official result after his penalty.

Green = passes made, red = passes lost. Chmielewski is the only driver in either race with passes made and none lost.

Lap time per lap for the top six. Chmielewski’s yellow trace is the flattest on the sheet from lap 5 onwards.

Herbrig–Rothe at 10 laps within 1.5 s is the highest pairing of the round, with Chmielewski–Rothe on 8 and Chmielewski–Herbrig on 6.

Kevin Chmielewski

Second for fifteen laps, first where it counted. He inherited the lead on the final lap and won by 0.549 s — 2 incident points, the cleanest car in the top four.

Grabowski loses it from 8 seconds clear

Fifteen laps led from pole, an 8.18 s cushion — and a 1:27.882 on lap 16, a +10.46 s delta to his own average. He still set the fastest lap of the round.

Marcus Rothe

No valid qualifying lap (15 incident points in the session) so he started last. Fifth by lap 2, third by lap 5, fourth at the flag — 7 overtakes, the most of the evening.

Lucian Grabowski — 1:16.978

Lap 9, and the quickest lap of either sprint. Grabowski took both fastest laps at Zolder and won neither race.

Grabowski flat on zero for fifteen laps, then the yellow line meets him on lap 16. Everything below 20 s is a repair stop.

Clean-lap distribution. Grabowski, Rothe and Chmielewski share a rhythm; the three damaged cars sit a second and a half adrift.

Three stops, all repairs, none strategic — Herbrig 79 s on lap 3, Wuschnakowski 61 s on lap 4, Luhn 143 s on lap 9. There is no mandatory stop in this format.

This log carries no per-incident telemetry events, so the chart shows only penalties: three forced repairs and one black flag. The Inc column in the table below is the official iRacing count.

Rothe’s climb from last to third inside five laps, and the single crossing at the very top on lap 16.

Green = passes made, red = passes lost. Rothe’s net +6 is the largest of either race.

Lap time per lap for the top six. Grabowski’s trace is flat to lap 15 and then spikes ten seconds.

Laps spent within 1.5 s of another car, top six by finishing position. Chmielewski shadowed Grabowski all race without ever being within striking distance.

Lucian Grabowski

From reverse-grid P4 he led inside a lap and controlled it to the flag — 12 laps led, fastest lap, +12.07 s.

Turn 1 takes out the race winner

A multi-car collision pushed Wuschnakowski into Chmielewski and tore the rear wing off David Hoffmann, who was out on the spot — DSQ, zero laps.

Marcus Rothe

Third and second across the two sprints gave him 52 points — more than either race winner. He never led a lap all evening.

Friedrich Luhn

Fifth from reverse-grid pole with a single incident point — comfortably his best result, earned by staying out of every incident.

Grabowski gone from lap 1. The lines that fall off the bottom early are the first-corner casualties.

Clean-lap distribution. Only Grabowski and Rothe kept a representative rhythm; the rest were managing damage.

Lap-1 and lap-2 repair stops dominate — Chmielewski’s 165 s, Herbrig’s 71 s, Wuschnakowski’s drive-through.

40 logged events, including 8 collisions — the densest column is the first corner.

Grabowski from reverse-grid P4 to the lead inside a lap. Herbrig’s line drops from P2 to last after the pit repair.

Green = passes made, red = passes lost. Most of the movement here is damage, not overtaking.

The turn-1 cluster is the start crash that ended Hoffmann’s race and put Chmielewski a lap down.

Lap time per lap. The spread between the leaders and the damaged cars grows steadily — Wlach was lapping on a broken sidepod.

Laps spent within 1.5 s of another car. Far less than Race 1: once the start settled, the field was strung out.

David Hoffmann

From P2 he inherited the lead before the end of lap 1 and never lost it — 12 laps led, fastest lap, +9.99 s.

A jump start, 2 seconds in

Polesitter Lucian Grabowski was black-flagged two seconds after the green. The lap-1 drive-through dropped him to last; he recovered to sixth.

1:45.256

David Hoffmann. Pole had gone to Grabowski by 0.003 s — a 1:45.457 to 1:45.460 — the closest qualifying of the season.

Wlach spins it away

After five laps closing on Wuschnakowski for P5, Bernhard Wlach lunged on the final lap and spun — handing sixth to the recovering Grabowski.

Hoffmann’s flat line at the top is the whole story. The deep drop at lap 1 is Grabowski’s drive-through for the jump start.

Clean-lap distribution. Hoffmann, Grabowski and Rothe all live in the 1:45s — the pace was there, the grid order was not.

One bar only: Grabowski’s lap-1 drive-through. No strategy stops in a 12-lap sprint.

32 logged telemetry events — 29 off-tracks and 3 spins. Incident points in the table are the official iRacing figures.

Grabowski’s line falls from P1 to P9 on lap 2 and climbs back to sixth. The Atzen trio hold station in P2–P4 until lap 10.

Green = passes made, red = passes lost. With nine cars and no cautions there was little churn outside Grabowski’s recovery.

Every logged incident on the circuit map. The cluster is the chicane the chat spent qualifying complaining about.

Lap time per lap. Flat throughout — 19 °C track, 12 laps, no tyre drop-off worth the name.

Laps spent within 1.5 s of another car. The Atzen train dominates it; the front was a solo run.

Lucian Grabowski

From reverse-grid P9 he carved to the front and controlled it to the flag — a Race 1 second plus this win gave him 58 points on the day.

⚠️ Turn 1, four cars

A weak Wuschnakowski start triggered a five-wide chain reaction into Turn 1. Pascal Marx was rear-ended through no fault of his own; Hoffmann later crashed out too.

Pascal Marx — 1:37.053

Set on his recovery drive to P7 in 31 °C track heat — the quickest lap of either Mugello sprint.

Grabowski carved from reverse-grid P9 to the front, then controlled the gap to the flag — followed, not hunted.

Clean-lap distribution. Marx is quickest (fastest lap) despite a start-damaged recovery drive to P7.

Sprint format — no mandatory stop. Visible pit visits are damage repair after the Turn-1 pile-up.

Every logged telemetry incident by race-time — the reverse grid and a first-lap crash made this the rougher sprint.

F1-style position track. Grabowski P9→P1 is the headline; the start crash scrambled the order behind.

Green = passes made, red = passes lost. Grabowski and Chmielewski top the chart with their charges.

Where on the Mugello GP layout incidents happened — Turn 1 lit up at the start.

Lap-time per lap; several cars drop out as the race wears on after the opening-lap contact.

Laps spent within 1.5 s of another car — the recurring Wlach/Herbrig/Werner three-way stands out.

Pascal Marx

Pole to flag for his first win of the season. Having learned from Fuji, he managed his tyres and simply controlled the gap in the 27 °C heat.

David Hoffmann — 1:36.816

A late charge from P3 produced the sprint’s quickest lap, but Marx was never in reach.

Bernhard Wlach

After a weak start, Wlach delivered the race’s standout duels — long, scrupulously fair battles with Waack and Werner.

Marx led every lap; Grabowski and Hoffmann shadowed him nose-to-tail but never got into striking range.

Clean-lap distribution — the front three are tightly matched; Hoffmann holds the quickest single window (fastest lap).

Sprint format — no mandatory stop. Any visible pit visits are recovery, not strategy.

Every logged telemetry incident by race-time — a comparatively clean first sprint away from the front battles.

F1-style position track. The front settled early; Wlach’s recovery from a weak start is the main mover.

Green = passes made, red = passes lost. A low-overtake race — Wlach the standout gainer.

Where on the Mugello GP layout incidents happened — the tricky downhill section caught Luhn.

Lap-time per lap across the 13-lap sprint; Grabowski and Hoffmann light up the second half.

Laps spent within 1.5 s of another car — the Marx/Grabowski/Hoffmann train dominates.

Lucian Grabowski

The double. From reverse-grid P10 he carved to the front and won again, fastest lap (1:32.542) once more — by just 0.52 s over Hoffmann.

Marcus Rothe P15 → P5

After his Race 1 retirement, Rothe stormed from the back to P5 (+10) — the recovery of the round, 20 points banked.

⚠️ Four DSQs & a lost pole

Reverse-pole Bernhard Wlach slid to P7; a rougher sprint ended with four retirements DSQ’d in CLS — Brechmann, Waack, Pistorius and Felix.

Grabowski carved from reverse-grid P10 to the front, then controlled it; Hoffmann shadowed him to the flag at +0.52 s.

Clean-lap distribution. Grabowski and Hoffmann again hold the quickest windows; Marx fast but buried after a poor start.

Sprint format — no mandatory stop. Visible pit visits are damage repair after the heavier Race 2 contact.

Every logged telemetry incident with its race-time — Race 2 was rougher, with four cars eventually retired and DSQ’d.

F1-style position track. Grabowski P10→P1 and Marcus Rothe P15→P5 are the standout climbs; reverse-pole Wlach slid to P7.

Green = passes made, red = passes lost. Grabowski and Rothe top the chart with their charges through the field.

Where on the Fuji GP layout incidents happened — the reverse grid bunched the field and lit up the first sector.

Lap-time per lap across the 13-lap sprint, with several cars dropping out as the race wore on.

Laps spent within 1.5 s of another car. The Grabowski/Hoffmann duel for the lead dominates.

Lucian Grabowski

Pole to win — the GermanSimracing.de car led every lap and set the fastest lap (1:32.522), holding Pascal Marx off by 3.5 s.

Thomas Felix P15 → P7

From the back of the grid to P7 — the biggest gain of Race 1 (+8), setting up a strong reverse-grid slot for Race 2.

⚠️ Rothe out at the start

Quali P7 Marcus Rothe failed to complete a lap (0 pts), and Peter Pistorius slid from grid P5 to P14 — both would bounce back in Race 2.

Grabowski led from pole and edged away; Marx and Hoffmann shadowed early before the gap stretched to the flag.

Clean-lap distribution. Grabowski, Marx and Hoffmann share the quickest, most consistent windows around 1:32.5–1:32.8.

Sprint format — no mandatory stop. Any visible pit visits are damage repair after contact.

Every logged telemetry incident with its race-time. Hoffmann and Wuschnakowski kept clean sheets at the front.

F1-style position track. Thomas Felix’s climb from grid P15 to P7 and Pistorius’ slide from P5 to P14 stand out.

Green = passes made, red = passes lost. The midfield was busy; the front three ran in formation.

Where on the Fuji GP layout incidents happened — clustered into the first-sector hairpin and the chicane.

Lap-time per lap across the 13-lap sprint — tyres fade slightly but the order is largely set early.

Laps spent within 1.5 s of another car. The Marx/Hoffmann scrap for P2 and the dense midfield light up.

Andreas Wuschnakowski

The broadcaster turned racer takes Race 2 from P4 grid (after his R1 setback) — pole-to-flag pace, fastest lap 2:10.508 and a 6.56 s margin over Thomas Felix.

Thomas Herbrig P6 → P3

From last in Race 1 (a lap down) to a P3 podium in Race 2 — the biggest position gain across both rounds.

Chmielewski P1 → P6

Race 1 winner Kevin Chmielewski crashed out of contention in Race 2 — finished P6 at +119 s.

Wuschnakowski and Felix front-running while Chmielewski and Wlach hit trouble immediately at the start.

Despite finishing P6, Chmielewski showed the tightest pace window — consistent recovery laps after his early incident.

Sprint format has no mandatory stop. Visible pit visits are damage repair after incidents.

Every incident with exact race-time and type. Wuschnakowski had multiple offs but stayed on pace and won — the others lost more lap time.

F1-style position track. Herbrig’s climb from grid P5 to P3 is visible; Chmielewski’s drop from grid P1 to last is the dramatic line.

Green = overtakes made, red = passes lost.

Where on Spa each incident happened.

Lap-time per lap for all 6 drivers across the 10-lap sprint.

Kevin Chmielewski

Took the win by +10.60 s over Marcus Rothe after 10 laps — only 2 incidents and a best of 2:10.683.

Andreas Wuschnakowski

Set the quickest lap of the race at 2:10.474 — but losses earlier in the race dropped him to P4 overall.

Within 15 seconds

Chmielewski, Rothe and Felix all within 15 s after 10 laps — close fight at the front.

Top three settle their order in the first 4 laps. Chmielewski never gives up the lead. Wlach drops back early after an incident.

Clean-lap distribution per driver. Top three drivers’ pace within tenths of each other.

Sprint format — no mandatory pit stop. Visible bars are damage repair after off-tracks.

Three drivers (Wuschnakowski, Wlach, Herbrig) needed forced repairs in the opening 3 minutes — a chaotic start. Wuschnakowski had the most incidents (4) yet still finished P4. Herbrig got a black flag at minute 10.
