May 19, 2013 New Time Attack series planned for karting

We’re looking into the idea of introducing a Time Attack series or club to karting. If you want to know more about Time Attack read www.timeattack.co.uk/image… from the car championship but basically it’s time trials over a flying lap, a bit like how they did qualifying in F1 a few years ago, or if you’re really old (!), how they did qualifying in S1 and European racing up to the late 1990s.

The emphasis is on tuning and raw speed but it also takes a lot of driving skill to be on it straight away!

If you’re interested in giving it a go, please fill in our survey.

If you’ve come straight to this survey, you can also go to www.timeattackkarting.co.u… to find out more and read news on our progress.
