Time Attack
Time Attack is a race to secure the fastest lap time possible on a designated circuit or section of track. Also referred to as time trail, tuner battle, or super lap, a time attack is used to evaluate car performance in real racing applications. Similar to a qualifying lap, the higher average speed you maintain the faster your lap time, so drifting around certain corners can save valuable time.
As in NASCAR, the cars in a time attack start off under a full rolling start. Cars are timed with a transponder device inside the vehicle that works with the circuits internal system used in normal racing. As the car passes a beam the timing begins and runs until the car completes a lap. Numbers are allocated to cars to ensure the times are correctly recorded.
