Mandalika Finale GP Poised for Showdown For Four, Final Goodbyes For Two

Lombok, 21 June 2025 – The sun‑baked streets of the Mandalika International Street Circuit will host the final round of the 2024–25 Formula Hololive International season this Sunday, with live coverage beginning at 14:00 WITA. After Evelyn Kuromi’s Spielberg heroics and Joshua Azurid’s Mugello masterclass, the title fight comes down to a 26‑car grid of Dallara F2 2020s, each bearing the colors of their Hololive VTuber.

At the top of the standings, Ryan Kagawa pilots Nerissa Ravencroft’s #76 machine for Hololive English into Mandalika with a 63‑point cushion (1,916 pts). The rookie sensation’s measured pace will be tested by Joshua Azurid (#4 Mori Calliope), whose since Sentul in late 2024, has carried him from outside the top 20 to within reach of the crown (1,853 pts). Both drivers have shown supreme racecraft—Kagawa’s consistency at Sepang and Sentul, Azurid’s charge from Sentul through Mugello—and now must navigate Mandalika’s mix of tight hairpins and fast sweepers without error.

Not far behind is Javier Lusby in Vestia Zeta’s #07 Dallara (1,810 pts), who is currently slumping after DNFs and poor finishes in recent races. The Uruguayan will be hungry for a hometown victory for Zeta on the street circuit’s demanding layout. Rounding out the top four is Yuri‑Rafael de Oliveira (#01 Pavolia Reine), the Brazilian’s smooth lines in his Dallara have delivered key points all year (1,537 pts), especially in Spielerg, and he’ll be looking to spoil Hololive English’s party.

Further down the order, attention turns to other contenders who are methematically out of title contention. Evelyn Kuromi (#53 E. R. Bloodflame) – streaming a second win in Spielberg – and Tawan Bhumin (#25 Fuwawa Abyssgard) both arrive in Mandalika with momentum and nothing to lose. Hooman Mathias Zacarias (#21 Nanashi Mumei) and Grave Prower (#99 Gawr Gura) will bid fond farewells, while Mohd Shazren Redza (#14 Koseki Bijou) and Lia Kai (#85 Hakos Baelz) chase minor‑podium points.

Off‑track, recent roster tweaks add intrigue. Ludwig Boschwald’s departure has given Alex Grant track time in Cecilia Immergreen’s #34 Dallara, while Dawn Elys sits out in favor of Misaki Sakura’s final appearances; both will use Mandalika to sharpen their machinery for next season’s lineup.

With 400 points for victory and 375 for second, a perfectly timed overtake or a pit stop strategy masterclass could swing the championship in anyone's favor at Mandalika. For Kagawa, it’s about getting that #76 to the finish line; for Azurid, Lusby, and de Oliveira, everything’s on the line.
