Tim Treadless

Tim Treadless is a racer that competes in the Piston Cup Racing Series. He debuted in 2016, replacing Phil Tankson on the Nitroade racing team.

Background Information
Tim Treadless is a high-tech next-generation racer. Around 2015–2016, Tim was selected as one of the candidates training to become a racing driver for the Biggs Racing team, with Ray Reverham as his trainer. He lived and trained in the Biggs Industries Racing Complex located in Los Angeles, California. He was captain of the team and had good relations with all his teammates excluding Jackson Storm, the last racer to join the team. During their first meeting, Jackson boasted about his skills on the racing simulator and said that Tim could learn from him, starting a rivalry of sorts between the two. Additionally, Tim and the other racers thought Jackson's addition to the team was a marketing move to promote the Super Corsa 3 video game, given his e-sports past.

One day during training, Jackson pulled out too aggressively on a turn, bumping into Tim and denting his car. Jackson and Ray claimed that it was an accident. The following day, four of the trainees left the program due to the competitive and stressful environment that Jackson had created. Because of this, Ray intensified the training program, with Tim tasked to focus on improving himself with the goal of beating Jackson's achievements. One day, Tim and Jackson convinced Stats, one of the statistical analysists at the racing centre, to wire to simulators together allowing them to race each other. Doing so, they broke their trainer's simulator-room rules. Tim won the race by a few centimetres, becoming the first person to beat Jackson's time on the simulator. All of their teammates cheered for Tim's victory but whilst they were celebrating, Jackson claimed that Tim had cheated. Angry, Jackson started spinning in place, burning the rubber of his wheels and generating smoke that activated the fire alarm and sprinklers. After that, Ray ordered him to apologize to Tim and the others. Eventually, despite Jackson having better achievements in training, Biggs decided on selecting Tim Treadless as a team racer, believing that Jackson wasn't suitable to represent the brand due to his behaviour.

Despite being selected to become a racer for Biggs Racing, the team never joined the Piston Cup Racing Series, and Tim joined the Nitroade team instead.

Personality
Tim is described as being intelligent, friendly and fast. He gets on well with his fellow racers (with the exception of Jackson) and they respect him in turn.
