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.
