Time Attack. Anyone Besides Me Into It?

I just ran the Redline Time Attack this past weekend. It was my first time attack and my R56 JCW did awesome. Car is stock engine, but has some of the basics:

Coilovers
Rear Sway Bar
End Links
Upper and Lower Rear Camber Arms
SS Brake Lines
Motul Brake Fluid
Carbontech pads
Volk TE37s
Dunlop Star Specs (225/45/17)

I ended up placing 2nd in Stock FWD Class The Integra Type-R that beat me had a handful of engine work and was quite a bit faster. I think if I didnt spin the car my last session out I could have gotten within a 1-1.5 sec of him on the 3.1 mile track.

The Integra Type R is lighter weight too by about 150 lbs than the MCS that makes it handle even better and has better power to weight ratio. Congrats and start building your motor's HP but that won't qualify in stock FWD anymore. The ITR is 195 HP I think & maybe 130 in TQ only (pls. verify) and available at very high RPM. I've driven one and it is indeed a blast to drive.

I'm not really into yet, but one day I (hopefully) will be.

Is this the same as a time trial?

One warm up lap and three timed laps on a track?
