We are
pleased to announce that Time Attack legend
driver, Tarzan Yamada will be attending Round 3
of the Time Attack Series at Silverstone, June
1st ( hosted at the JTS Show ).
Yamada,( pictured above ), is the driver of the
world-famous Unlimited Works-Cyber Evo in Japan
as well as the hired gun driver for various and
many of Japan's Time Attack teams. He is famed
for his Time Attack technique and ability to
extract every ounce of performance and time from
each of the cars he has previously driven.
Tarzan also participates in some Time Attack
events in the USA where teams hire him to push
their engineering to the limits.
Yamada's decision to visit the UK for the very
first time is based on witnessing the UK Time
Attack scene first hand and to introduce his
skills to the teams and drivers locally. His
enthusiasm comes from seeing the 4 UK teams at
Tsukuba Circuit in December and being impressed
with the level of engineering making him curious
to our local scene. He will attend the event
with his full race gear should his services be
required and is looking forward to driving at
Silverstone for the first time in his career.
Yamada is also extending his services whilst he
is in the UK, offering his driving service to
any teams which may wish to make use of his
experience in the Time Attack format.
Andy Barnes, Time Attack Series commented ' One
of the most famous Time Attack drivers on the
planet is set to invade Silverstone in his quest
to feed his curiosity about Europe and to say we
are pleased with his commitment to join us is an
understatement'
A first for the UK industry and another
milestone in Time Attack's invasion on the
aftermarket scene today. Japan is coming to the
UK for the first time in history, its HUGE!
