Time Attack
Time Attack (alternatively known as Super Lap or Tuner Battles) originated in Japan when the tuning media organized the event on race circuits such as Tsukuba Circuit, where it commonly occurs, as a proving ground for street tuned cars built at a large budget by highly respected tuning companies. As a result of the quick rise in popularity, tuners developed cars especially to use to beat the competition, including the purpose built HKS CT230R Lancer Evolution, with its body made entirely out of carbon fibre. The official lap record is held by the Autobacs ARTA NSX, which ran a 51.8 second lap. This lap was beaten on Boxing Day 2015 by Tomohiko "Under" Suzuki and the Scorch Racing Team S15 with a time of 51.127 seconds on Yokohama Advan A050 Semi-Slick Tires.
Unlike other timed motorsport disciplines such as sprinting and hillclimbing, the car is required to start off under full rolling start conditions following a warm up lap where they will have to accelerate out as fast as possible to determine how fast they enter their timed lap. Commonly, as cars consist of modified roadgoing cars, cars are required to wear tires authorized for road use and in all, drivers are allocated to three laps in a final event run; warm-up, timed and cool-down.
