Super happy predicting everyone! Enforcer takes their third win in Singapore, in gloriously low-scoring fashion. In fact, the last time we had such a low scoring winner was last season! It's been largely predictable with the same dude winning every time, so the moment anything vaguely unexpected happens it stumps everyone

*funniest alternative race title


The results mean that Aerond, who has led basically this entire championship since Round 2, is still leading by a mighty point, in front of the ever-present and looming Mario, who threatens to jump everyone when those dropped scores come into effect. Be afraid, be very afraid!
