Good stuff. It would be interesting to show the podium finishers tire compounds for each race too I think. Exotek yellow front with red rears for me.

Lol. My race 12 finish was actually not a DNF (36/15:01.951). My car was agonizingly in limp mode for the entire run...but I did finish

Looked like you were experimenting with TeamPowers tires for that run?

Thad Garner Yes you are correct and I have corrected that DNFs results to 0. Wow, I totally forgot to check the 15minutes run...but yikes race 12s a throw out on the regular rc points.

MikeR I too would like to see a curiosity report for tire choices for All of the Amain drivers to be reported in tech after each Amain. But for the fastest lap I ran all red exoteks the entire event. Yes that gave me some wild oversteer which was especially hard to control in the last 5 minutes of each race. If you look closely at my aeropackage for Revelation I was running maximum rear downforce and lowest front downforce to combat the oversteer. Looking back, I did run the yellow fronts and red rears and I found that to be a great combo when the sun was out during practice sessions. But I was betting on cloud cover for the races, which turned out to be very dynamic and the weather was mostly 61F. I found all reds to work a charm at rev with temps from 50F to 65F with no sun and cloud cover.


However, If the raceday temps were 75F or higher with lots of sun, I would have definately run the Hudy/Gravity RC which are a much harder tire compound to the exoteks. It would be great if there was a harder rear compound for the exotek tires. In the weeks prior to the raceday, I trialled the Yellow Exotek and Red Exotek with temps higher than 75F and they simply did not work at Revelation.

Volante white rears and blue fronts. Bit of a dice roll but didn't matter with my run being a bust dealing with the motor issue.

Default Fantasy F1 Standings & Statistics

Quite the shake up in the fantasy F1 standings, Brian finally scoring that 1st win of the season and the championship lead with only 6 races to go





Entirely Unofficial RC points for the top 5, boy oh boy is it close with Lane and Enriquez tied for 3rd. Brian only has a 4 point lead and unlucky race 13 has cost Aaron dearly the lead of the series. Every point is going to count in the final 6 races

Default Championship Finale Fantasy Results

With the season wrapped up, Brian R wins the championship for both the real and rc points system...well the top 3 are the same too
-All of the top 10 in points have all of the podiums
-All of the top 5 in points have all of the wins
-Interesting note, everyone finished race 16


For laps completed only 7 out of 22 drivers attended every single race this season
Only Phillip and Thad had zero DNFs this season and are the top 2 in the total laps run this season

I'll add that this is the first time I've ever felt SO confident in the car that it wasn't going to spin out. Ever.

I'm using the Trackstar Dream Clean cleaner right off the track, then the Gold sauce on all 4. I let it set for about 5 minutes then wipe off any excess. Seems to work well.

I haven't run the Exotek tires enough to see how long they last but I intend to.
Yup similiar finding but very impressed with grip of tires. I was initially concerned that front graining would mean tires would fall off after a run or two. But to my suprise yellow front and red rear worked great on cool cloudy day air temp about 60 on well cleaned but unprep track surface. Ran about 10 packs and laps times did not fall off.

I also tried to mix new red front and used red rear and car pushed like school bus. So it looks like new and old tires dont mix great. I borrowed a used set of red front from another racer to test with my used red rears and the car was very loose due to aggressive steering. This also lead me to believe the tires take some time to break in.

Great tire hopefully they will prove to have good durability and should be great tire for any club series.
