Lets get you started, there are many questions that need answers – what exactly is Time Attack? – How about a quick video from our Pro Class Champions, Roger Clark Motorsport which gives a brief insight into the amazing challenges and machines that are what make Time Attack simply spectacular – No rules, no limits, have as much power as you want and an open spec, with only one goal – how quick can you go? – The results? Quicker laps than BTCC cars and faster speeds that a GT car – and all from cars running on street legal Toyo Tyres….Enjoy….
So where did it all start, whats it all about?
Starting off in Japan, Time Attack, Super Lap and Tuner Battles were organised by the media as a proving ground to see the difference between street tuned cars, produced by the tuning industries most respected tuners.
Held at various circuits in Japan although mainly Tsukuba, Time Attack rose in popularity as the stakes began to rise and the tuners had to keep on developing new and improved machines with which to conquer their competition on track with. Since the early days things have moved on and there are now different levels of vehicles entering the competitions, from road cars to full-on specifically engineered Time Attack cars made mostly of carbon fibre as the sport has evolved. Its drivers normally consist of the racing industries finest, drafted-in by tuners to pilot these unlimited machines in the bid to become the quickest.
What happens first for the drivers?
Throughout the day there will be various sessions: Warm Up, Practice, Qualifying and the SuperBattle Final. These sessions are always open pit lane and can vary from 15 minutes to 20 minutes per session.
How does the Time Attack work?
After the Warm Up (untimed) and Practice sessions the main segments of the day are the Qualifying and the Final. Both Pro & Club Challenge Classes run the Qualifying format and the quickest of these drivers go forward to the Super Battle Finals where they get the chance to go for Series points and trophies. For the 2009 season points are also awarded for Qualifying.
How are they timed ?
Each vehicle will be fitted with a transponder device that works alongside the circuits internal system as used in normal motorsport. As the vehicle passes the beam the timing begins and runs until the car runs a full and complete lap, triggering off the timing beam to record a lap time in race control. Each vehicle will be allocated competition numbers to ensure that the correct times apply to each vehicle.
Is the Time Attack format the same as any other kind of Motorsport?
No, Time Attack has it’s own format that works for the competitors within it, the beauty of Time Attack is that it is aimed directly at the aftermarket tuning scene which has it’s own needs and requirements that do not fit other motorsport disciplines.
Can anyone enter the Series?
Yes, as long as you and your vehicle meets the rules and regulations, based on safety, type of vehicle, state of tune, professionalism, driver experience and commitment to the Series we are happy to consider your application, Please contact us for more information.
