What Is Time Attack? A Quick Beginner's Guide
Share
Time Attack is a motorsport where drivers compete for the fastest lap time on a closed circuit.
How It Works:
- Drivers go out in small groups or solo.
- Fastest lap time during a session is what counts.
- No wheel-to-wheel racing—just you, your machine, and the clock.
Classes: Time Attack is classed by car weight, power, drivetrain, aero, and modifications—so everyone competes fairly within their bracket.
Why It’s Popular:
- Safer than traditional racing
- Affordable and beginner-friendly
- Focused on skill and tuning
- Easy to track progress and improvement
It’s all about control, precision, and shaving off tenths. Addictive? Extremely. Many drivers find it more rewarding than racing others—because you’re racing yourself.
