SuperPro Sponsors UK Time Attack Championship

It’s no coincidence that 2020 sees SuperPro Europe support the UK Time Attack Championship for the 12th consecutive season. That’s because no other motorsport discipline reflects the use of cars that are based on road-going versions more than Time Attack – and with SuperPro bushes providing benefits for vehicles that are used day-to-day as well as on-track, the championship provides a perfect showcase for the bushes’ cross-over attributes.

Time Attack began in Japan in the 1980s, when owners and tuners went head-to-head on the public road to prove who’s modifications were the best. Needless to say, it wasn’t long before the shoot-outs took to the circuits with the sole purpose of setting the fastest lap.

Now, not only a form of motorsport, but also a burgeoning culture amongst car enthusiasts and the Facebook generation, Time Attack was introduced in the UK in 2005, with the first multi-event season taking place in 2006. Since then the championship has developed to become the only one of its kind in the world and regularly welcomes 100s of drivers, 1000s of spectators and 10,000s on-line followers during the course of a season.

Throughout it’s 15-season history, Time Attack has retained its original format, with each meeting featuring four 15-20 minute sessions: Warm-up, Practice, Qualifying and the Final. Competitors build-up speed during the day in order to post that perfect lap in the Final session, the times from which dictate the ultimate result.

Entries are split into classes, depending on the specification of the car and its potential performance – a factor that makes competition incredibly close with the top three finishers often separated by just fractions of seconds. To achieve this, teams modify and ‘tune’ their cars to get the very best from what they’ve got – just like they did when it all started in Japan four decades ago.

This is where SuperPro comes in. Just by changing a car’s suspension bushes, it sharpens the steering, maintains suspension geometry and provides increased high-speed stability and greater balance through corners – exactly what’s required to deliver that winning lap.
Championship coordinator Simon Slade explains: “Our competitors are always looking for that edge. Many are using standard cars, some with minimum modifications and others more extensively tuned. Either way, it’s not just power that counts, its handling, control and of course, the skill of the driver that makes the difference.

“We’re delighted that SuperPro has embraced the concept of Time Attack to promote its products. Not only putting them in front of the drivers and teams that are battling it out on the track, but to the 1000s of spectators at the events and on-line that avidly follow the action and therefore, engage with the brands that are associated with the championship. Long may the partnership continue!”
