The highest-placed of the two-time race winners on this list, Teddy Clairet enters the final weekend as the top-ranked of the two Clairet brothers in the championship, just seven points behind the leading duo.
He has had an impressive season, which includes a memorable victory at Spa-Francorchamps, featuring an incredible pass at Raidillon. He followed that up with a masterclass in defensive driving in the second race at Misano, a track that did not favour his Audi, given the characteristics of the circuit and a recent Balance of Performance adjustment.
Despite a tough qualifying session at the Red Bull Ring, he was still able to convert his performance into key championship points. With only one DNF in Germany marring an otherwise terrific season, Teddy has a genuine shot at the title.
What does he need to do to win the title?
With a gap of just seven points, the deficit is easily recoverable. Teddy could even take the championship lead after qualifying alone, as the Audi holds the current pole position record at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. Additionally, he will carry 0kg of compensation weight this weekend—a significant advantage over the top two drivers, who are both heavily ballasted.
