The World Time Attack has come and gone with fantastic success! The event brought some of the best JDM race cars from around the world to Eastern Creek, Sydney to prove their worthyness to be called the fastest Time Attack cars around the track.

There were 3 classes present during the competition, the Pro Class, won by Tarza Yamada in the Cyber Evo suspended on a custom valved, Super Racing coilover TEIN kit.

Open Class, won by a Fulcrum Official TEIN distributor, PULSE RACING in a TEIN Monoflex Coilovered Mitsubishi Evo. Congratulations Pulse ! For more details on how to contact Pulse please click on WHERE TO BUY and TEIN.

And Clubsprint Class, where Jason Naidoo came in 3rd place in a Mitsubishi Evo suspended by TEIN Super Streets

The Group one clubsprint is announced over the p.a !

We all rush into our cars in an effort to be at the front of the grid. I ask the R35 GTR's, ahead of me, "do you guys mind if I go out first"?
I'm keen and ready to rock. 
First lap out I manage 1.45.02 and we get red flagged and subsequently pull into pit lane. After a brief stop we restart and were off again, but cannot decrease my time from the first lap which was the best.

Back in the pits, my main rival Duncan in his R35 "monster ethanol powered" GTR tips me by 0.02 of a second.
I am showing better consistency so i'm confident, I feel as if there are no other competitors.....a bit too confident. Little did I notice a close friend, and someone i've been mentoring was 0.3 away from me and just as consistent. By the second session none improve bar one, my good friend Nik, aka "The Spartan", with a blistering 1.44'88.

My student had just raised the bar, beating the master, so to speak. I felt the heat and sorry to say could not catch him. This certainly is not the plan I had in mind but wait, we still had day two. I peer over at Nik's garage and see him and his sponsor Indy doing a rain dance. I'm praying to the god's,  "please no rain for day two I need this win, i'll go to church, i'll give to charity".

Day two clear skies and cool weather, one of the God's have responded. Learning from day one I am now aware of all competitors. Dave another Evo driver shows promise, and with a nickname "the Stig" he is definately not one to discount. So I've got "The Spartan" to catch, "Monster GTR" to keep at bay and "The Stig" hot on my heels. Stig reels off a 1.45.3 early in session one, I get slower and The Spartan increased his lead to an astonishing 1.44'37. By this stage I acknowledge inevitable defeat but embrace my experience and placing. The day has one more session but no improvements so ends our World Time Attack venture.

1st. Nik "The Spartan"
2nd Duncan "Monster GTR"
3rd ME woohoo
4th Dave "The Stig"

I am happy with my result. Like 99% of  human kind I would prefer 1st but for a grand event like this I'm very happy with my place. What a spectacle, from the crowds to the traders to the garages what a buzz. A great succes for me and i'm sure the spectators.

Thanks to Graham @ Fulcrum Suspensions, Matt @ F&E Autoworks and CT @ Yokohama. Not forgetting the Sydney Time Attack Race Team (S.T.A.R.T.) - Shifty, Stig, Spartan, BYP & Biiillly.

Thanks for your support
Jason "The African Stig" Naidoo
