This month has gone by fast hasn't it? I'm finding it hard to believe that we've got just over a week left before AWD month is going to be over. I've had the fortune of attending numerous track events here in the USA and in Japan, so I thought I'd post a gallery of some of the most memorable Evo and Impreza time attack cars I've
One of the things I regret from my time in Japan is never getting the chance to go to a Super Taikyu race. Super Taikyu might not be as glamorous as Super GT and its OEM participation, but I love the fact that Super Taikyu cars strongly resemble their street-going counterparts. The current Super Taikyu roster consists of Civics, Integras, Z's, BMW's
Most people would say that the biggest benefit of an all-wheel-drive layout is copious amounts of grip. For years, AWD cars and their grip have proven themselves on race tracks and roads all over the world. You'd expect the precise grip that AWD delivers would have no place in the unusual world drifting, and for the most part that's true. However
Last weekend, the Redline Time Attack series headed out to the Autobahn Country Club in Joliet, Illinois for their third event of 2009. A country club with a race track? If only we had something like that here on the west coast... Thanks to Rich over at AMS Performance (located in nearby West Chicago), we have a few photos from the Redline event to
Sunshine welcomed the drivers of the Time Attack championship to Scotland for round 2, 2008 champion and lap record holder Olly Clark looked fast in the Roger Clarke motorsport Impreza but after practice was back in 4th place a second off his 2008 lap record time of 52.186 seconds. Round 1 winner Chris Ward couldn't make round 2 so RSE motorsport
If there is something I really like about the Hyper Meeting it has to be the mix of race cars the organizers throw into the event. As an opening shot I chose this action snap of the Super Taikyu (ST) Team Endless EvoX, flying past me just before the main in-field hairpin. ST regulations dictate that the cars need to stay in a pretty "stock"
The 2009 Hyper Meeting in Tsukuba turned out to be a very reassuring event for the whole tuning industry surrounding Evos, Imprezas and the odd Legacy. Compared to last year's event the uncertainty with the new Impreza and Lancer has all but disappeared thanks to tons of new products having been developed. You can now find all sorts of new bits
Just got back from the 2009 Hyper Meeting in Tsukuba and what a day packed full of action it was. For now a little preview will have to do as I'm dead tired, sunburnt and sleep deprived! The Subaru and Mitsubishi guys were all out in full force embracing the latest generation Impreza and Lancer Evolution. Action on track was almost non-stop, with
The UK Time Attack series wrapped up its eventful 2008 season this past weekend at Snetterton Race Circuit and the event would determine the final season standings. In what was seemingly typical UK weather, the day got started under foggy, damp conditions but by the end the event day it appears that conditions were pretty pleasant. Lee Chung was there
My first taste of Time Attack in the UK came last weekend when the circus came to the Brands Hatch Indy Circuit. I have already featured the Zen Performance Impreza on SpeedHunters but the Sainted Editor, still in steamy Japan, requested a gallery feature on the Pro Class event. So it would seem appropriate to start with the car that ran a consistent
