Time attack
Time attackTime attack racing is a popular form of motorsport that involves setting the fastest lap time around a circuit. Unlike traditional circuit races, where drivers compete against each other in wheel-to-wheel racing, time attack racing is a test of individual skill and precision. Drivers compete against the clock to set the fastest lap time possible, with the winner being the driver who completes the course in the shortest possible time.
Time attack races often have strict rules and regulations that limit modifications to the vehicles, which helps to level the playing field and place a greater emphasis on driver skill. As such, time attack racing is a true test of a driver's ability to extract the maximum performance from their vehicle while maintaining control and consistency throughout the lap.

Drivers are judged on their speed, angle, and line through the course, with points awarded for style and flair. Drift racing requires a high level of skill and control, as drivers must be able to maintain a slide through a corner while still maintaining control of the car.
