Time Attack Organisation welcomes FUCHS Lubricants as Official Partner

The Time Attack Organisation (TAORG) is pleased to announce a new partnership with FUCHS Lubricants, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of oils and lubricants.

The agreement will see the FUCHS brand represented across all TAORG-run championships and national events, including the Time Attack Championship, Racing Hondas Championship, Drift Pro, and TAORG’s seven major car shows: Tunerfest, Go Japan, Modified Live, and JDM JAM.

Andy Barnes, TAORG Managing Director said:

“I am delighted to welcome FUCHS Lubricants into our organisation as our official partner. I know FUCHS products are widely used by many of the racing teams in our paddock as their oil of choice, making this a highly relevant and natural partnership for us.

This collaboration will help strengthen the connection between what our fans, car club members, and show attendees see performing on track and the products they can confidently choose for their own vehicles. I have personally used Fuchs oils for over 25 years, which makes this partnership both professionally and personally very fitting.”

Russ Kenyon, FUCHS UK Head of Automotive, commented:

“We are extremely excited to be partnering with such a complete and competitive organisation, offering FUCHS a great platform to showcase its comprehensive automotive lubricants range, to a very passionate audience.

The Racing Hondas and Time Attack Championships have great appeal, and I’m excited to get immersed in the increasingly popular car shows.

Here’s to a great season!”

The collaboration will see TyreSafe working alongside Yokohama – a TyreSafe Corporate Industry Partner and a sponsor of the championship – to develop clear, practical tyre safety messaging that can be delivered in an engaging way to competitors, teams and spectators throughout the summer season.

Rather than traditional campaign activity, the partnership will embed tyre safety guidance directly into the high-performance motorsport environment, ensuring advice is relevant, credible and aligned with the performance-driven mindset of Time Attack participants.

A Platform with National Reach

Since being introduced to the UK in 2006, Time Attack has grown into the largest and most professional competition of its kind globally. Built around its “all about the lap time” ethos, the championship challenges drivers to set – and continually improve – their fastest possible lap.

• Approximately 80,000–90,000 spectators across live events
• 44,000 Facebook followers
• 14,000 Instagram followers
• Close to one million social media posts featuring #TimeAttack

Events take place at leading UK motorsport venues including Brands Hatch, Donington Park and Snetterton Circuit, giving the partnership significant national visibility and access to a highly engaged automotive audience.

Stuart Lovatt, Chair of TyreSafe, said, “With tens of thousands of spectators attending events and hundreds of thousands more engaging online, Time Attack provides a powerful platform to reach drivers who care deeply about how their vehicles perform. By collaborating with Yokohama to develop impactful, on-the-ground safety messaging, we can connect tyre safety directly to performance – reinforcing that legal, well-maintained tyres are not just a compliance issue, but a fundamental part of vehicle control.”

Through this initiative, TyreSafe, Time Attack and Yokohama will collaboratively raise awareness around:

• Arriving at events on legal and roadworthy tyres
• The safety implications of under-inflation, damage and insufficient tread
• How tyre condition directly impacts braking, grip and overall vehicle performance
• The legal requirements that apply on the road

Yokohama will deliver tyre safety messaging and technical guidance to visitors and competitors at events throughout the season, supported by TyreSafe’s suite of materials, guidance and expertise on tyre safety.

By aligning tyre safety advice with a performance-focused championship, TyreSafe aims to reach drivers who are highly engaged with vehicle capability and lap times, but who may not always consider the legal and safety implications of tyre maintenance on public roads.

Tom Davis, Head of Events at Time Attack, commented, “Time Attack is built around precision, performance and pushing cars to their limits – but none of that is possible without the right tyres in the right condition. We’re proud to partner with TyreSafe and Yokohama to help educate our competitors and spectators about the importance of legal, well-maintained tyres, for the drive to the circuit. This collaboration allows us to combine performance passion with responsible driving.”

Performance and Safety Go Hand in Hand

While lap times are the focus of competition, tyre condition remains fundamental to both safety and performance. From grip levels and braking distances to heat management and structural integrity, tyres play a decisive role in how vehicles behave – whether on the circuit or on public roads.

This partnership marks another step in TyreSafe’s ongoing efforts to engage new and diverse audiences, ensuring that tyre safety messaging resonates beyond traditional channels and connects with drivers in environments where vehicle performance is front of mind.

TyreSafe and Time Attack look forward to an action-packed summer season, working together to ensure that every journey – to the circuit and beyond – starts on safe, legal tyres.

The Time Attack Organisation is pleased to announce the appointment of Andrew Schofield to its motorsport team.

Andrew will support race weekend operations and competitor engagement across both the Time Attack Championship and Racing Hondas Championship, working alongside Head of Motorsport Paul McErlean to help ensure the smooth and professional delivery of on-track activities throughout the year.

Bringing nearly three decades of hands-on motorsport experience, Andrew has worked across scholarship programmes, championship operations and driver development roles. His background includes running the Vauxhall Vectra Scholarship programme, involvement in the Michelin Renault Clio Scholarship, managing hospitality and sponsor programmes at TOCA events, and instructing at leading race and rally schools including Palmersport. He has also delivered performance driving programmes internationally in Norway and Sweden and supported drivers preparing for Nürburgring permit competition in VLN.

Since 2013, Andrew has worked with the British Racing & Sports Car Club (BRSCC), coordinating multiple championships. He remains an active race licence holder, most recently competing in the C1 24 Hour Endurance race in May 2025.

Paul McErlean commented:

“I’ve worked alongside Andrew for many years and have always valued his professionalism and competitor-first approach. His operational experience and understanding of how championships function trackside make him a strong addition to our team.

As we continue to develop both Time Attack and Racing Hondas, having Andrew involved in our race weekend structure will help ensure we continue to deliver a consistent and high-quality experience for competitors and teams.”

Andrew Schofield added:

“I’m delighted to be joining the Time Attack Organisation and working with Paul and the existing team. The championships have a strong identity and loyal competitor base, and I’m looking forward to supporting their continued growth and meeting competitors throughout the season.”

Andrew will begin his trackside role at the opening Racing Hondas round of the 2026 season at Silverstone on 5 April.

The Time Attack Organisation – which operates Club Time Attack, the Time Attack Championship, the Racing Hondas Championship, and a portfolio of high-profile car show events – is pleased to announce the appointment of Paul McErlean as its new Head of Motorsport.

Paul joins the senior management team at a time of continued progression for the organisation, as it builds on a long-standing legacy of delivering some of the UK’s most exciting and immersive motorsport events. Paul will oversee all racing activities and lead the motorsport operations into their next chapter.

Paul arrives following the recent news of his departure from the British Racing & Sports Car Club (BRSCC), where he held the position of Chief Operating Officer, overseeing more than 25 race weekends and 20+ championships annually. His extensive experience and deep understanding of the motorsport industry make him a strong addition to the organisation as it continues to evolve and grow its racing portfolio.

Andy Barnes, Chairman of Club Time Attack, commented:

“On behalf of everyone involved in our club and business, I extend a very warm welcome to Paul as he joins the Time Attack family. His industry knowledge, experience and proven track record of delivering successful programmes are well known.

I have tasked him with the overall responsibility for the management, coordination and development of our championships, with the support and resources needed to enhance our offering to drivers, teams, customers and fans. His appointment strengthens our operation and helps ensure we continue to grow our on-track activities.

I’d like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank Carl McKellar and Lee Anne Harper for their commitment, professionalism and contribution to our championships and organisation, and to acknowledge the part they have played in the organisation’s journey.”

Paul McErlean added:

“I’m excited to be joining the Time Attack Organisation and to be working with a team that has such a strong track record of delivering standout motorsport events. My role will be to help build on the strong foundations in place, strengthening and supporting the organisation’s motorsport offering as the championships continue to grow.”

Paul joins the organisation on 9 February 2026, just ahead of the new racing season, and will work closely alongside Tom Davis, Head of Events, to deliver exceptional, interactive motorsport events across the year.

The agreement will see the Probite brand represented across all TAORG-run championships and national car show events, including the Time Attack Championship, Racing Hondas Championship, Drift Pro, and TAORG’s seven major car shows: Tunerfest, Go Japan, Modified Live, and JDM JAM.

Following its recent headline sponsorship of the British Rally Championship, Probite now turns its focus towards the UK’s leading aftermarket motorsport and enthusiast platforms, aligning with both TAORG’s  on and off track activities to reach a broad and engaged performance audience.

As part of the agreement, Probite brake discs and pads will also become the control components for the newest category within the Racing Hondas Championship, the S2000 Cup, ensuring each S2000R is equipped with Probite products.

Commenting on the announcement, Andy Barnes, Managing Director of the Time Attack Organisation, said:

“Probite have been consistent supporters of our car shows over the past three years, and it is great to see that, through experiencing our events and understanding our audience, they have committed to a long-term partnership across the entire TAORG platform.

As a UK manufacturer, our role is to put the spotlight on their products and brand in front of our sizeable and engaged audience, ensuring that when enthusiasts and competitors are making decisions on servicing and upgrades, Probite is firmly on their radar.

Despite being one of the largest braking manufacturers in the country, Probite remains relatively unknown to many due to its extensive white-label manufacturing for other brands. We look forward to amplifying their presence and telling that story.”

Garry Curley, Commercial Manager at Probite, said:

“We’re excited to be coming on board as an official partner of the Time Attack Organisation. This partnership is a big step for us because the cars competing in these championships directly relate to the performance braking products we design and manufacture. It’s a perfect match for what we stand for and gives us the platform to showcase our expertise and innovation to a passionate motorsport audience.

Also, having the fantastic opportunity to become the control braking partner for the exciting new S2000R class within Racing Hondas allows us to reinforce our position as a true British performance braking brand. Motorsport is in our DNA, and working alongside Racing Hondas allows us to connect with enthusiasts who share our passion for precision, performance, and innovation.

We can’t wait to start working with Andy and his great team, to see what the future holds, and look forward to an incredible season ahead.”

£10,410 raised by Club Time Attack for the British Motorsports Marshals Club (BMMC) 

A month ago, the Time Attack Organisation hosted its annual Championship Awards Gala at the Mercure Hotel in Daventry, UK. The evening brought together around 140 members and guests for a black-tie celebration honouring champions from across all club activities.

Throughout the 2025 season, the club ran three initiatives to support this seasons chosen beneficiary, the BMMC:

• A late entry initiative: any driver entering after the round deadlines incurred a surcharge
• Yokohama Tyres donated a pool of tyres which were raffled to drivers at each event
• Gala dinner raffle the first prize of a seasons free entry for 2026

Altogether, we’re pleased to announce an incredible total of £10,410 raised for the BMMC.

Andy Barnes of the Time Attack Organisation comments:
“I am delighted by our final total and thank each and every driver who has contributed this season as well as the great folks at Yokohama tyres for their tyre pool. Through a simple initiative, using our strengths, our club was able to donate 100% of the amounts raised to support the BMMC and its volunteers who keep our beloved sport on track and as safe as possible for all. In addition we provided all-weather marshals ruck sacks, food and race suit patches as part of our 2025 campaign to show support and acknowledge the work of all marshals in the UK, it’s a great result and one which all members of our club are proud of.”

BMMC Chair Chris Hobson said: “This is an amazingly generous donation from the Time Attack team. The BMMC is grateful to accept this contribution to our costs involved in running the only club in the world run by marshals for marshals. BMMC currently has almost 3,500 members providing marshals for all forms of motorsport run under the auspices of Motorsport UK – including the Time Attack Championship.

“Marshals rarely get the recognition they deserve, standing out in all weathers, carrying out duties on and off the circuits at all levels, providing the safety cover essential to enable competitors to enjoy their sport.  Whether it is races, sprints or hillclimbs at a fixed venue, rallies and off-road events at non-permanent venues, club level Auto Solos or international Grand Prix our members give of their time and effort free of charge, purely for the love of the sport.

“This show of appreciation from Time Attack will help us to continue to train and equip our members to support not only their events, but many others around the country.  We are extremely grateful – “Thank You”.”
