What is Time Attack?
Time Attack is a form of motorsport where drivers compete against the clock rather than racing directly against each other.
The objective is simple: set the fastest lap time in your class.
Competitors head onto the circuit during timed sessions, pushing their cars and driving skills to the limit. Every fraction of a second counts, and even the smallest improvement can make the difference between winning and losing.
Unlike traditional circuit racing, the emphasis is on outright lap time, precision and performance.
The championship features different classes, allowing a wide variety of cars to compete, from relatively standard performance models to extensively developed, high-powered competition cars.
This variety makes Time Attack particularly exciting to watch. You never quite know what you’ll see next.
Why Oulton Park is a fantastic circuit for Time Attack
Set in the beautiful Cheshire countryside, Oulton Park is one of Britain’s most challenging and rewarding racing circuits.
Its combination of fast corners, technical sections, elevation changes and demanding braking zones provides the perfect challenge for Time Attack competitors.
Drivers must find the right balance between speed, grip and control as they tackle famous sections including Old Hall, Cascades, Island Bend, Druids and Lodge Corner.
