Sebring, Mosport, Detroit Belle Isle, and Mid-Ohio will determine champions and World Finals qualifiers. Even more so than the tracks in the European Championship, Belle Isle and Mid-Ohio haven’t appeared in recent seasons, which could create opportunities for drivers to gain unexpected advantages through track-specific pace.
The Americas PRO championship has delivered the most dramatic title fight possible. Ayden Young (WSR Esports) leads with 381 points, but Ryan Oddo (Team ERC) trails by just a single point at 380. A single incident, a moment’s loss of concentration, or one perfect lap could determine the title.
Both drivers have shown remarkable consistency through six races, with Oddo managing a slight edge despite Young’s competitive pace. Jon Boetefuer (SOELPEC Precision Racing) sits third with 347 points, still mathematically in contention and capable of capitalizing if the leaders stumble.
Ubaldo Diaz (VIMA Racing Team) holds fourth at 338 points, while Graham Sanders (SOELPEC Precision Racing) rounds out the top five with 326 points. Lucas Vieira (Team ERC) occupies the crucial sixth position with 306 points.
The fight for direct World Finals qualification tells an interesting story in the Americas. While the top six appear relatively secure, Lucas Vieira holds the seventh and final direct qualification spot with 306 points. Diego Zuccarelli (Overtake26) sits eighth with 212 points – a significant 94-point gap that makes Vieira’s position quite safe.
The Extra Qualifying Event will feature drivers from positions 8, currently including Diego Zuccarelli, David Unger.
Jose Gonzalez (VIMA Racing Team) has established himself as the AM class frontrunner with 274 points. John Benoualid (Lima Racing) sits second with 251 points, 23 points behind but still very much in the championship fight.
Jarrett Duncovich (Free Agent) holds third with 235 points, followed by JR Gregory (Flyin’ Lion Racing) at 215 points and Colby Buck (Spherical Racing) at 210 points. The top seven positions appear relatively settled for direct World Finals qualification, with Charles Krasic (Flyin’ Lion Racing) holding seventh at 184 points.
The AM team championship presents one of the season’s most compelling storylines. Flyin’ Lion Racing leads with 547 points, but Lima Racing trails by just 2 points at 545. This battle will likely go down to the final checkered flag, with both teams needing consistent performances from their drivers to claim the title.
In PRO class SOELPEC Precision Racing leads the team championship with 937 points with Team ERC trailing with 888 points, keeping the championship in close competition for the final four races.
Six races have set the stage for an unforgettable conclusion to the Americas Championship. The 1-point gap in PRO class, the 2-point team championship battle in AM, and the various World Finals qualification fights ensure these final four weekends will deliver maximum drama.
The summer break has ended. Time to settle these championships on track.
