How do you get into Time Attack?
The first step we would recommend to all those new to time attack is to join a car club. You will find most of these run “timed speed events” at tracks around the country. Time attack is racing against the clock and as such is considered a “speed event” not a “race event”.
Why is it called time attack?
Many computer and video games include a time attack (or time trial) mode, in which the main goal is to complete levels—or, in some cases, the entire game—as quickly as possible. This mode prioritizes completion time ahead of other measures of success such as high scores.
Why canards are not stealthy?
Canard aircraft can potentially have poor stealth characteristics because they present large angular surfaces that tend to reflect radar signals forwards.
What do front splitters do?
Splitters contribute to the car’s performance by “splitting” the air to reduce lift and increase traction. When a car reaches high speeds, air pressure builds up at the front of the car. The air forced under the car is at a relatively high pressure. The air going over the top of the car is at a relatively low pressure.
What do canard wings do?
Canards are part of an airplane that functions as a stabilizer or elevator and installed in front of the main wing. A canard is used for several reasons such as increasing lifting force, the stability of the aircraft’s controls and flow changes over the main wing.
Is stealth overrated?
They argue that stealth is overrated and it’s better to buy greater numbers of cheaper, non-stealthy planes. The high expense of developing, buying and maintaining stealth jets means they may be used sparingly. Many stealth aircraft still have questionable ability.
What does the air dam do?
Air dams are lower extensions of the front bumper that redirects air flow under the vehicle. Active air dams are automated extensions that further changes the airflow to increase aero dynamics. This system is designed to reduce drag to ultimately aid in fuel efficiency.
What do side skirts do?
Side skirts stop the amount of high pressure that makes its way underneath your car. It does this by blocking the side high-pressure area from the underbody. When you do this effectively, what you’re left with is high pressure on the outside which causes downforce and improved performance.
What is a Kinard?
1 a : a false or unfounded report or story; especially : a fabricated report. b : a groundless rumor or belief.
What is Time Attack racing?
Like a lot of motorsport, this is the essence of Time Attack, a style of circuit competition with roots in Japan that today extend to the United States, Australia, and beyond. Time Attack is a timed test of a driver’s ability to push their car to the limits on an unimpeded road course to achieve the fastest lap against other competitors.
What is timtime attack?
Time Attack began in Japan in the 1960s, evolving into events where tuning companies and enthusiast media joined forces to put on competitions at places like the renowned Tsukuba Circuit.
How many laps are there in the Grand Theft Auto Race?
The GTA event, which will take place with competition laps on all three days, will feature 20 cars in three different divisions trying to set the fastest lap of the 11-turn, 1.97-mile race circuit in the streets of Long Beach. This year marks the first time GTA will run at the iconic event.
How are points scored in Time Attack?
There are no points for style in Time Attack; the discipline is judged solely on a person’s ability to beat the clock. Time Attack began in Japan in the 1960s, evolving into events where tuning companies and enthusiast media joined forces to put on competitions at places like the renowned Tsukuba Circuit.
