🏁 WTAC 101 - Haltech's Guide to Time Attacking
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 янв 2025
- While we love cars that go fast in a straight line, there's no denying the appeal of cars that have been purpose-built to go fast around corners.
Time Attack is the domain of big aero, huge horsepower engines and insanely quick lap times. The pinnacle event of the international time attack is the World Time Attack Challenge. Held annually at the Sydney Motorsport Park, WTAC attracts the world's fastest time attack cars and as such proved the perfect backdrop for this video.
In this introduction to the world of time attack we take a brief look at its history, explain the differences between the classes and chat to a bunch of drivers to get a feel of what it's like to compete at WTAC.
If you're not already a fan, you will be after watching this video:)

Time attack is One of the most appealing, affordable and enjoyable forms of racing. A true grassroots movement. Lots of fun drivers and cool cars that everyone can relate.
Richards epic beard is back!! also it speaks fluent Japanese WTF!?!
That's just priceless mate! Well done!
that caught me off guard when he speaks good japanese
Cheers to the camera and editor! What a great channel
This was awesome, always knew about time attack but never really took the time to understand what it was about. I'm hooked.
Cheers to the fellas at Haltec
Beautiful editing work. Raising the bar of content quality with each video you folks put out. Keep up the great stuff.
This guy speaking Japanese blew me away. Great video!! I'm a begging time attack competitor. I can't wait for the 2021 Season
Great video. I'd like to make it across the pond for a WTA event, definitely a life goal. To answer your question, Sir, I am building an EG civic hatch for Global Time Attack here in the US. These videos get me so excited to keep going on my car. I will make it happen one way or another. Already got the Haltech Elite 1500 to manage my sleeved 84mm B18c engine. Just need a cage, to make my aero package and get some track time.
Keen to see it when it's all ready for action:)
@Haltech sounds good! I look forward to showing you guys! All things in due time, though. I am but one man, self-taught, and no sponsors. I will get there no matter what.. #dreamdriven #cantstopwontstop
The beard is back !!! Congratulations on the facial foliage.
As always, great vid Richard ! What I know about cars could fill a few post-it notes, but very informative and I think need to learn more about the sport because I think it would be a lot of fun.
Non-pro and driver must own the car is an awesome rule set.
There are pro drivers in Club and they do not own the car they drive too. And yes rules do not apply to everyone equally.
idin1976 none of the drivers are considered pro by CAMS or FIA standards.
There is no rule that the owner must drive the car though.
Awesome ! Thanks so much! Love any racing available to average people! Great video.
Solid video, have to look for the closest Time Attack events and check it out
I was thinking they should add a class that's almost entirely unrestricted, except that it has to be road-legal while setting the lap., so no big aero or slick swaps in the pits. Then I realised that would make international competition impossible.
Ok was not expecting him to interview under Suzuki in Japanese haha
The Epic Beard Dude has many hidden talents.
Anyone else catch Rob Parsons aka Chairslayer at 11:33? Edit: And 24:41
Any chance we could get a video on the MCM RB26 S30? I would also like to see Bennys Stagea. 😁
A video on the S30 is in the works. We've already done one on the Stagea:

the narrator speaking in Japanese (i think) is some seriously cool shit!
Yes, Japanese! He lived there for a number of years :)
Most rowdy RX8 ive ever heard. hot damn, bunch of pissed off wasps in a box of honey bees.
We're working on a Time Attack 93 Ford Crown Victoria with a 2012 GT500 5.4l V8 and ton of wind research and about everything from ADTR.net for parts ADTR has the largest selection of aftermarket Panther body performance parts.
So far, it makes about 700hp on a tremec 5 speed and have found about 1000lbs of aero down force with aftermarket stuff. the car curbs at 3700lbs wet. and the cage will add weight so will the fuel cell, shooting for 24 gallons as we want the car to do 400 mile trips. currently sits on a 20 gallon tank and does about 380 highway on that tank. tall gear made the stock 200hp struggle
All Haltech ran
just rear suspension stuff lost a second in the 1/4 mile 13.8 vs 14.9 on stock gearing and engine......well headers and a slight tune by me... call it 20hp increase over stock
Is the Min weight of 1400 a new rule or factory weight - 5%. For clubsprint
Haltech def has good taste . . . in cars
And presenters
This man can speak another language woah
im just wondering, what kind of engine is in that RX-8 that he is claiming 400whp on NA (assuming it is still wankel/rotary which it should be), oh ok 20B PP.... but still that power claim is very high..
LS1
Just being able to take my car out would be fun
20B RX-8 or a 2JZ powered 350Z
No I ma doing a V6 swap on my mirage I can no longer enter clubs print
That’s exactly how I want my rx8
"so how does this differ from the r35" Its a Nissan Silvia for one
(to drive)
excite!
I want to make a time attack mr2 Spyder
Yeah, look...
Interviewer: **exists**
V8 Supercars driver: *...Yeah look.*

Okay the fastest lap wins? So just racing?
Well, not quite. In door-to-door racing the fastest lap gives you the pole place on the starting grid but that's about it. In the actual race you just need to be the first across the finish line, your actual lap time is not relevant.
Well "just racing" entails someone else on the track with you. For example, if you tell people you raced this weekend and won, people are going to say who did you race against. If you say no one, most people will say okay you didn't race or beat anybody. You just drove really fast.
These guys are only competing against the clock, all alone. Totally different experience. Like compare driving fast in traffic vs the same road alone at 3 in the morning.
Evo X
3rd!
Time Attack = Qualifying
So why not race door to door?
Yeah that's right man and we should put a turn in the middle of a drag strip too.
There are so many different strategies to get to the same lap time. Different cars are faster through different parts of the track. Racing door to door would just be chaos and prove nothing.
why not put jumps in and perhaps a river crossing? and let horses race too...
Open class is so far from open you forgot to mention all the restrictions with aero and all the other shitty rules
The Regs for each class is a 15 page document. We only covered the basics here, mainly to show the differences between classes. The aero restrictions in the Open class are obviously aimed at setting it apart from the Pro / ProAm.
