After this diversity of winners in the first half of the season, the remaining nine races only saw three winners. Even more remarkably, seven of the final nine races were won by Ed Greenhalgh, who had moved to Aston Martin Racing at the start of the season to link up with his former team-mate John Warrington. This included winning five races in a row, an unmatched feat in GPGSL history. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this run allowed Greenhalgh and AMR to secure their championship titles at the <a data-rte-meta="%7B%22type%22%3A%22internal%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22Belgian%20Grand%20Prix%22%2C%22link%22%3A%22Belgian%20Grand%20Prix%22%2C%22wasblank%22%3Atrue%2C%22noforce%22%3Atrue%2C%22wikitext%22%3A%22%5B%5BBelgian%20Grand%20Prix%5D%5D%22%7D" data-rte-instance="142899-12826947905f287f96049c7" href="/wiki/Belgian_Grand_Prix" title="Belgian Grand Prix">Belgian Grand Prix</a>, with two rounds to spare.

Heading into the final round at Silverstone, in what would be Aleksander's last, he once again was running second in the championship.

Greidanus, who qualified last, moved up to 11th by Lap 11 after the first pitstops. With clearing conditions forecasted, he extended his second stint longer than most, and was able to switch to slicks whilst others were forced to make a third pitstop for their tyre change.

In the championship, with John Warrington having left the series, John Maverick moved into his AMR seat and went on to battle team-mate Greenhalgh for the championship title. The team-mates were two of the only three drivers to win more than one race in the championship year. However, Greenhalgh proved too strong and went on to become the first driver in GPGSL history to win a third title, and with the added notability of achieving it in consecutive seasons. With their drivers finishing first and second in the points, AMR won another WCC, and by the biggest margin in GPGSL history.
