With only six races left to go in the season, Palou & Co. know they’re on the precipice of another title. Clinching the 2026 championship would mark Palou’s fourth consecutive and fifth overall. But when it comes to last year’s results at this race, Palou finished third behind Will Power and Christian Lundgaard. One To Watch And speaking of Christian Lundgaard, he’s one to watch this weekend. While he didn’t lead any laps at this race last year, he did finish second, with an average speed of 107.016. So far this season, he’s got two wins, one pole, six top fives and eight top 10s. In the overall standings, he’s fourth — 104 points back from Palou for the top spot.
