Time Attack Motoring
First off, for those reading in the United States, I hope you guys had a fantastic Thanksgiving with friends and family. I myself is still full from my dinner earlier and in desperate need of a long nap, but I had these photos edited a couple days ago, so I decided I should throw them... Continue Reading →
The Super Lap Battle event has been the grand finale of the time attack season in the U.S. since its inauguration in 2004. Every year since then, Buttonwillow has played host to this fall classic that brings in some of the best time attackers from near and afar. This year was no different as 80+... Continue Reading →
I don't know if it's just me or not but the motorsport of "Time Attack" seems to be on a fast paced growth the past few years especially in North America. I've been seeing more teams and individuals competing in time attack events across both Canada and the United States with many traveling long distances... Continue Reading →
Having lived in the Bay Area for a good 5 or so years now, there are builds that I've grown accustom to seeing over this period of time whether it's at local shows, at the track, or just roaming around on the streets. Some of these builds come and go, and some just stay relatively... Continue Reading →
Technically, the Hoonigan M3 didn't compete in GTA Pro Am but rather the Speed District event that was held on the same days. But..... since Global Time Attack actually have a name to their event, I'm just gonna go with that for the title. Anyways, at first I didn't plan on doing a separate post... Continue Reading →
I can't believe it's been almost half a year since I've covered a time attack event, but it was absolutely refreshing to be out at Buttonwillow again for round 3 of the GTA Pro Am series. Actually, "refreshing" is probably bad word choice because it was anything but refreshing out there in triple digit weather........ Continue Reading →
So here we are, I've finally gone through all the photos from Japan which leads me to this post with shots from my visit to Arvou out in Tochigi Prefecture. Arvou, in my opinion, is similar to Pro Shop Fukuoh in the fact that both are out in the boonies and are not quite visiter... Continue Reading →
After visiting Pro Shop Fukuoh, I had originally decide to hop over to Kyoto to do a bit more exploring, but I realized at the last minute that I was pretty close to Suzuka, so I ended up hopping on the local train to pay a visit to the renown tuning house, Esprit. Situated within... Continue Reading →
Attack Tsukuba was the catalyst for my last visit to Japan but like with all my trips to Japan, shop visits also holds a great deal of importance. On my previous two visits, I've limited my checklist to shops surrounding the greater Tokyo area, but as I've grown accustomed to the Japanese public transportation system,... Continue Reading →
For many years past, I've always gone down to Buttonwillow during November for the annual Super Lap Battle and the finale to the race season. This year, I've decided to cover as much time attack events as I physically can, so I made the decision to make the trek down for the season opener. One... Continue Reading →
The final post on the Attack Tsukuba event has finally arrived... I've been putting it off for seemingly an eternity because I got side tracked with other shit but the biggest culprit was my laziness. Nevertheless, it's better late than never and I finally got through the rest of the photos from the event today,... Continue Reading →
As I've mentioned on my previous posts, the Mazda RX7 FD3S has been a pretty dominant platform for time attack in Japan for many years. This year at Attack Tsukuba, the RX7 FD have yet again proven itself to be a premier time attack option by securing some of the fastest times on grid. But... Continue Reading →
Positioned closely to the Technical Auto One's FD was Radial Class competitor, Auto Gallery Yokohama R35 GTR. At first glance, the car looked like a full Varis example, but upon closer inspection, it's actually a mixture of Nismo, Auto Select,Top Secret and Varis all rolled into one beautiful package. With this aero setup, full interior,... Continue Reading →
So I was initially just going to finish up the Attack Tsukuba coverage with one more post but I realized there were still a little too much material to be grouped in a single post. Therefore, here's another car spotlight featuring the Technical Auto One's RX7. Running in the Second Class with just under 400HP,... Continue Reading →
As you can tell from Part 1, there were quite a few Hondas present during Attack Tsukuba this year, but there were also a few other makes and models that made their presence felt. One of these were the AE86 squad which had a very strong showing this year, and also the RX7 FDs were... Continue Reading →
When I started this site nearly eight years ago, I really didn't have a sense of direction as far as what I really wanted to post. I posted music, I posted girls, and I posted cars... it was pretty much all over the place and became a mess. There were a few times where I... Continue Reading →
I've always known that the FD was a very capable time attack car, and its presence is always felt at any circuit in Japan. But this year at Attack Tsukuba, their place as a top platform for time attack was really made noticeable. I'm talking nine out of the top twenty finishers were FDs which... Continue Reading →
