And then, there was one. One final race before the curtains fall on the Idol Racing League's fourth season.

HONORABLE MENTION: Dia Kurosawa (#20)

Dia's still someone to watch this weekend. She's 3rd in full-season points and a measly 26 points behind leader Kaho. If things go wrong for the Sonoda pair of Kaho and Kanon, Dia could pounce and steal a full-season championship!

SEED 4: Ruby Kurosawa (#19)

Many wrote Ruby off as a waste of a good seat. She's proven everyone wrong now, and looks to cement her place in IRL history a year removed from her life-changing Daytona win! She's on the backfoot; but she'll be competitive for certain!

SEED 3: Kanon Shibuya (#5)

Back again after a year's absence! The full-season champion from last year is looking to both defend her crown and become the first driver in Idol Racing League history to win in both championship formats!

SEED 2: Kaho Hinoshita (#24)

When Kaho joined this team at the beginning of the year, many believed that it'd take her a while to adapt to a competitive car. She came out swinging at Daytona and leads the full-season points. Her goal is to leave the track with both trophies.

SEED 1: Wien Margarete (#11)

Her championship 4 appearance last year was an afterthought. A fluke. This year's is different. She's here, on top, ready to bring home a trophy.

This isn't a game to her. If it was, she'd have gotten phased out of the industry a long time ago.

...It's moments like this where I'm happy the IRL has a full-season format. Sure would stink if Aya didn't walk away with a title after doing something she was praised for all season.

Surely this is the death of the one-race championship, right?

"I'll be back."

After her disqualification at Rockingham, that was all Kasumi had to say. Many forgot about it... but tonight, Kasumi showed that they should've remembered. She struck swift and hard, and brings home a trophy for her efforts!
