Two weeks left. The board is live. The pot keeps growing.
The May Monthly Hot Lap Challenge is still on at Flostate, and there’s still time to make your move.
This month’s combo: Radical SR8 @ Summit Point Raceway
Current laps to beat:
1. Dalton E. — 1:04.732
2. Chad C. — 1:05.125
3. Noah G. — 1:05.425
And the prize pot is already up to $175.
Here’s how it works: • Book a session at Flostate • Run the featured Monthly Challenge combo • Set your fastest lap time • Finish in the Top 20 for the month to earn Challenge Points • Points roll over all quarter long • At the end of the quarter, prizes are awarded based on total points
And every time someone runs the challenge during their session, another $5 gets added to the pot.
So this isn’t just about one fast lap. It’s about showing up, putting a number on the board, and stacking points before the combo changes again for June.
Two weeks. One car. One track. One shot to climb the standings before this one is gone.
Book your session. Run the challenge. Enter your Flostate. 🏁
SVS S1 Most Improved Driver: Dalton Etzel
Big congrats to Dalton Etzel on receiving the Most Improved Driver Award from Season 1 of the Shop Vs Shop Series presented by @oasissimracing and @pixelspeedsimracing !
Dalton wrapped up the season with 53 points, finishing 9th overall against some seriously fast drivers from sim centers across the country.
For those who know Dalton, this one hits different. When he first came to Flostate, he was a dirt oval guy through and through — and had little interest in racing anything outside of that world. But over the past year, he’s put in the seat time, jumped into GT3s, and kept stacking laps until he could hold his own in one of the most competitive series we’ve been part of.
Beyond Shop Vs Shop, Dalton has become a big part of the Flostate community — racing in multiple dirt leagues and representing the shop in multiple @iracingofficial 24-hour events, including the Daytona 24 and the Nürburgring 24h.
That’s what this place is about. Growth. Commitment. Community. And getting better every time you climb back in the rig.
We’re proud of you, Dalton. Well earned.

Another Friday, another Showdown! This week we’re going head-to-head in a GT3 battle at the Red Bull Ring against 7 other sim centers nationwide.
The Red Bull Ring is short, fast, and unforgiving — massive braking zones followed by aggressive acceleration and sweeping high-speed corners. In GT3 cars, every exit matters, and one mistake can turn into multiple lost positions before the next sector ends.
🕖 Open Practice: 7:00 PM
🏎 Race Session: 8:00 PM (Practice • Qualifying • 40-min Race)

SCES heads to Imola!
May’s Sim Center Endurance Series takes us to one of the most demanding Grand Prix circuits in the world — Imola Grand Prix Course.
This is a 2.5-hour GT3 endurance race against sim centers from across the country, and Imola is not the place to lose focus. Fast direction changes, heavy braking zones, tight racing lines, and almost no margin for error make every lap a test of discipline.
Tamburello. Acque Minerali. Rivazza.
Get it right, and you’re flying.
Get it wrong, and the race can unravel fast.
This one is about more than raw pace. Tire management, traffic awareness, consistency, and smart decision-making will decide who makes it to the end and who fades before the checkered flag.
🏁 Sim Center Endurance Series
Track: Imola Grand Prix Course
Car: GT3 Class
Format: 2.5-Hour Endurance Race
• 2:30 PM – Official Practice
• 3:00 PM – Qualifying & Race

🏁 Flostate 250

This isn’t a sprint. It’s 100 laps of discipline and execution.

• 10 in-shop drivers — $80

What a run for Team Flostate at the @iracingofficial Nürburgring 24H! Three teams took on 24 hours around the Green Hell, and all three brought it home.
🏁 Porsche Team 1
Started P8 → Finished P4
Only 2 laps down from the leader in their split. Isaiah H. threw down an 8:08.611 on Lap 65, holding the fastest lap of the session until the winning team barely edged it with an 8:08.433 with just 13 laps to go.
🏁 Mustang Team
Started P42 → Finished P24
Fastest lap: 8:16.201
Finished only 10 laps off the leader after grinding through the full 24.
🏁 Porsche Team 2
Started P46 → Finished P34
Fastest lap: 8:25.966
Brought it home 21 laps down after sharing the same split and battling alongside our Mustang team.
We want to say THANK YOU to all of the drivers who represented Flostate at The Ring. For only our second official 24-hour iRacing endurance race, having three full Flostate teams on the grid is something we dreamed about when this whole venture started. These races are not just about outright speed. They demand communication, patience, clean traffic management, pit strategy, consistency through every stint, and the discipline to keep the car alive from sunrise to sunset and back again. We’re proud of every driver who put in stints, stayed locked in, and represented Flostate on one of the toughest stages in sim racing.
Now we’re gearing up for yet another legendary endurance test in July, the Spa 24H!

Another Friday, another Showdown! This week we’re going head-to-head in a Formula 3 battle at Phillip Island against 7 other sim centers nationwide.

April is in the books. The points chase is officially on.

Current Top 8:
1. Tyler C. — 40
2. Noah G. — 36
3. Zach A. — 33
4. Nabil A. — 30
5. Chad C. — 27
6. Dalton E. — 24
