Falken Tires celebrated three podium finishes at recent autocross events nationwide, showcasing the performance of Azenis RT660+ tyres
Falken claimed multiple podium finishes across the U.S. as team drivers used the new Azenis RT660+ tyres to secure autocross wins. Drivers Koda Atwood, Lane Farka, Jeff Wong, and Nick Relampagos all delivered strong performances at recent national events.
Atwood Claims Second at New Orleans Motorsports Park
In Avondale, Louisiana, Koda Atwood raced in the Optima USCA GTS class at New Orleans Motorsports Park. He competed in a 2022 Tesla Model 3 Performance against a field of Chevrolet Corvettes. Intermittent rain made the course slippery and unpredictable. Atwood also faced low power due to distant charging stations. Even with these setbacks, he secured second place with a time of 49.368—just 0.125 seconds behind first place.
BMW M2 Team Grabs Podium in Las Vegas
At the Tire Rack SCCA Las Vegas Pro Solo, Lane Farka and Jeff Wong shared a 2024 BMW M2 in the B Street class. This class limits modifications to shocks, anti-roll bars, and tyres. Wong narrowly beat Farka by just 0.087 points, earning second and third place finishes. This marked Farka’s second straight podium at the event.
Falken Autocross: Relampagos Wins in California Camaro
In Pleasanton, California, Nick Relampagos drove his 1970 Chevy Camaro in the Goodguys Pro-X class. He competed at the All-American Get-Together during the “American AutoCross” Shootout. The Pro-X class allows pre-1999 cars with 200-treadwear tyres and no weight minimum. Relampagos took first in class and first overall with a time of 1:02.949—0.299 seconds ahead of his closest competitor.
Falken Autocross Wins Driven by RT660+
“Our team performed well this past weekend, and all the races were very competitive, with times being as close as a tenth of a second from each other,” said Gerald Alvarado, Falken’s Motorsports & Events Supervisor. “We can always count on the team to push the limits and showcase the abilities of the new Azenis RT660+ tyres, and it’s also great to see our tires run throughout the country.”
