Episode 043: Special: The WTAC, GA, GTA, and SLB Organizers Talk All About Time Attack!

We have 3 very special guests join us for a fantastic discussion of the origin of Time Attack in the United States and Australia. Our guests for this episode are Ian Baker who is the organizer for World Time Attack in Australia, and Jason Dienhart and Kiet Le who organize Global Time Attack and Super Lap Battle.  We talk with Ian, Jason, and Kiet about what drew them to the sport of Time Attack and how they started organizing events. The sport of Time Attack, and especially the cars that are running the event, have changed a lot since its origin in Japan in the mid to late '90s.  As technology has improved, everything from the power that the engines can make, the tires, the weight of the cars, and especially the amount of aero added to the cars has changed significantly.  And because of the open rule sets in the unlimited class for these races, some of these cars are pushing the absolute edge of performance and are setting times close to that of open-wheel formula cars. Thanks, and #staytuned!
