Time attack at Superlap

The three separate classes attracted a wide variety of entrants from professionals to first-timers. In its second year, the full field of more than 60 different cars was dominated by highly modified Evos and Skylines.

No other format in the country lets you get personal with so many highly modified street cars and track cars at one event… like improved production on steroids.

In simple terms, it doesn’t matter what you drive, how it’s modified, or how much was spent on it.

It’s all about the fastest lap time. This isn’t panel-to-panel racing — though high-speed overtaking is rampant.

Ten-minute sessions for each group meant that every time you looked there were different cars on the track. Even in its infancy in Australia the format is attracting a lot of interest with the obligatory trader alley stuffed with sponsors wares.

The Hi-Octane R34 GTR was one of the stand out competitors. Very much built for the task, it features a tuning bible full of high performance parts from a 3 liter block to fully seam welded body. And the brilliant black on black paint job belonged at AutoSalon…rather than the track.

The day went down without major incident, with only a few offs by some over-zealous Club Class competitors. Surprisingly, the first turn out of the extended GP section of the track even caught out experienced drivers like Brett Middleton in the MRT EvoX at times.
