UK TIME ATTACK TEAMS TAKE ON JAPAN!
We are pleased and extremely proud to announce that after months of planning, four competitors and their teams/cars from the UK Time Attack series will be shipping out to Japans famous Tsukuba circuit to participate in Time Attack at the Revspeed Tsukuba Super Lap event. This event is held by magazine publishers Revspeed in Japan and the cars will race against the clock alongside Japans finest Time Attack cars and tuners.
Held at Tsukuba circuit on December 6th 2007, the event will mark the first time any UK tuner cars have visited Japan to race and it is anticipated as well as the actual teams, UK fans will fly out to Japan to support the UK teams in their plight to set a quick time at Tsukuba. Tsukuba is the proving ground for Time Attack in Japan therefore perfect for the UK teams to pitch themselves against the challenging circuit where the current record holders are HKS Japan with a 53.589 in their Carbon Evo 9 CT230R.
The cars and teams representing the Series are :
Zen Performance Subaru Impreza
Driven by Phil Glew ( 2007 Time Attack Series Champions )
RC Developments Mitsubishi Evo 6
Driven by Clive Seddon
Fensport Toyota Celica GT4X 4WD
Driven by Adrian Smith
Sumo Power Nissan 350Z
Driven by Andy Barnes
The aim of the trip is the introduction of UK tuner cars to the Japanese market and to compare the differences between UK cars and Japanese cars to further promote the teams and of course the UK Time Attack Series.
The adventure has been put together by the Time Attack Series with enormous help locally from Do-Luck Japan and JapaneseUsedCars.Com, both of whom are current UK Series sponsors who extended their help to make this happen and for their efforts we are extremely grateful and will supply local support in Japan alongside our good friends at Toyo Tyres who will be providing local tyre support for all UK cars.

I wanna see international J-Spec race car events being held more often... maybe even a world circuit i.e. Jap import tuners racing circuits in various countries around the world for the world title :twisted: . Would sure as hell be more exciting than Holden vs Ford or Formula 1 that we've currently got :roll: Would get more bums on seats too I reckon!!
