2013 Time To Attack - Sepang: Round 2

My last attempt on the Time To Attack competition was in July 2012. It was a great eye-opener and it also left me wanting to compete again.


TimeToAttack 2012 Round 2

For those who don't know about Time Attack Competitions – The Mission is to achieve the fastest Circuit Lap Time possible in differing car categories according to car, engine and drive type.

TIMETOATTACK is Malaysia’s first and most celebrated Time Attack event currently based in the Sepang F1 Circuit.





Registrations at the booth where you collect a goodie bag and the official race tags.




The main highlight of joining such competitions is to enjoy the moments with like-minded friends.




Competition seemed tough with cars from all makes and models. Thankfully the competition is mainly categorized into the street car, supercar and race car categories with each being further classified according to his or her car’s drive train layout, engine type, as well as the extent of modification done to the car.




Excited to conquer the tracks as it is rare that the track is filled with so little cars and each driver will compete against time instead of each other.





Here are some photos of me on the track.
Notice the new modification? (Will talk about it soon!)











Went home empty-handed from this competition despite the great performance on the wet track condition during the 1st session.  I was on 3rd position with a time of 2:41.





Catch my disappointing performance in the dark as I navigate through the tracks blindly.



Overall it was a great learning experience despite the poor performance on the track that night, I realised that I should never join a night race!
