Held at various circuits although mainly Tsukuba, Time Attack rose in popularity as the stakes began to rise and the tuners had to keep on developing new and improved machines with which to conquer their competition on track with. Since the early days things have moved on and there are now different levels of vehicles entering the competitions, from road cars to full-on specifically engineered Time Attack cars made mostly of carbon fibre as the sport has evolved. Its drivers normally consist of the racing industries finest, drafted-in by tuners to pilot these unlimited machines in the bid to become the quickest.

It's £50 for the night, including breakfast and is the same hotel as all the drivers will be staying in I think there could be a lot more 'drifting' going on in the bar later :D If you want details of the hotel please send an email to John@d1gb.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
