Hi Yebo, 10V gets the maximum performance (fastest lap times) out of the cars that we run here at The River Run; those that have motor limitations in the up to 22k rpm manufacturer's stated range. For motors with more rpms than that; we are not sure if 12V would make a difference or not, but we will investigate that further if and when the situation arises. The fastest lap recorded at my track belongs to Smokeio with a 5.520; an NSR Ford GT-40 powered by a 22k NSR motor, run at 10V.
Your comment is likely based on this year's Round #5 Group 5 North American proxy results, over on the SCI board. For that race, there are several cars that have motors in the 30k rpm manufacturer's stated range (including my own). So, that does bear checking out.
But, for cars with motor limits in the 18k range, which this proxy has, there has been no difference in lap times observed at 10V vs. 12V; the cars are simply more drivable at 10V.
