Time attack= the lastest thing?
 

love the engine sounds in these videos. :thumbsup:

lastest thing? not sure about that... it's been around for awhile now, just not so mainstream in canada I guess.

you should check this one out ;)

i remember time attack stuff being popular in japan.. but not anywhere else really.

What's so novel about a time trial?!

Just because "Time Trial" was given the Engrish name of "Time Attack" it suddenly becomes cool?

my thoughts exactly. the term "time attack" is just a trendy JDM wording.

I thought the OP was talking about Time Attack style wheels being the latest thing...:haha:

Time Trial/Attacks have been popular for a long time now.
You just don't see these events in Vancouver. Legal ones anyway.

One Example:
Super Street started holding Time Attack events since 06 or so. It was a Highly publicized event too. That was 4 years ago.
Of course, that doesn't mean that there wasn't anything like it in North America before that.

i was thinking these

do you mean the LAST-est thing? or LATE-st thing?

because those can mean the opposite of each other...

I don't think "LAST-est" is a real word? :p

The first Sport Compact/Super Street Time Attack was more like in 2004.

How time flies when you are having fun.

fuck that looks like such a fun car to drive, turbo + sequential gearbox, and four wheel drifting every corner.

whats the difference between time attack and an actual race??

Time attack is the quickest one lap and you don't race against other people just the clock.

You build the car to drive really fast for one lap, not prolonged use. More or less.

hmm.. wonder if vancouver would hold any events like these..? that'd be fun.

If you're serious about this, events are held at the track in Mission.

Look for events under "solosprint", though it looks like most of the events for this year have already taken place. You'll also have to look up the rules for safety requirements (I can guarantee that you'll need a helmet) and also those regarding rookies.

LOL, same here. :stupid:

Yeah, SCCBC runs Time Attack at Mission in the middle of race weekends. A bunch of us have participated in the past, it requires some safety gear above what an autocross or whatever needs but is pretty reasonably priced and is a ton of fun. Bring your own pit babes though.

hmm thats what i thought, but the vids showed other cars on the track too.

Then they're racing themselves on a track with other cars. Not too hard to understand.

Damn, that white Subaru is Sick!!!

the hell...

you smoke too much skunk weed tofu.

Just because MT/ID players call time trials TA, doesn't mean it's new!

I rmb Kin "TA-ing" SFU every other night cuz he was bored.
