The Story of Time Attack and 'Under' Suzuki

  • Time attack is a form of motorsport where the goal is simply the achieve the fastest lap possible. While this concept is simple, the cars are far from it with outlandish aerodynamics, high horsepower, complex suspension, crazy brake setups and more. While learning about the history of the sport this past winter I thought it might be a fun side project to make a brief video on the people and cars involved. While this only scratches the surface I think it's still a great story and I hope you enjoy it!
    I'd seen some videos by the very talented youtuber, Summoning Salt, that looked at speedrunning in games, so I decided to make a video in his style on what is essentially a speedrun in real life with real cars! His channel is / summoningsalt .
    I think the World Time Attack Challenge, WTAC, is going to be great in a few months so I wanted to finish this video in time to hype up the event a bit and showcase some of the cars that will be competing in 2021. Maybe in the future I'll provide some updates, looks at other stories I didn't include in this, or look to other veins in the automotive world! Thanks for watching!

      that exact thing is why i love the 24 Hours of Lemons racing series. junk cars running a 24 hour endurance race. the paddock is FULL of teams helping other teams keep their terrible cars on the track the whole weekend. it's incredibly fun, and people who arent filthy rich can participate, since the beginning value of the car cannot exceed 500 dollars!

    For anyone who was wondering the all time record at Tsukuba is a 44.088 set in 2015. It wasn't a time attack record but instead it was a Super Formula lap time set by Kamui Kobayashi (The same person who set the 3:14.791 time at Le Mans)

    As someone not familiar with the scene, fair play to HKS. A group of professional engineers with unlimited budget to push the boundaries is how new technology is developed. And from the past trends you can see how this eventually trickles down to the other teams. The TRB is like getting a glimpse into the future.

  • @Thee_Snow_Wolf
    @Thee_Snow_Wolf 2 ปีที่แล้ว +28

    29:34 It was a tyre delamination that occurred. While it was something that occurred to other teams (Tilton and RP968) those happened after a couple of push laps that caused their tyres to overload. Part of the reason Under Suzuki's tyres failed unexpectedly was that it was a set of old tyres that, if I remember correctly, were meant as a display set, not for actual race use.
    Also this is a very good round up of Time Attack. Thank you for making it. I'm personally hoping in the future UK Time Attack can bring back the insane Pro Class cars that feature in other areas of the world. With the debut of Gobstopper 3 hopefully in 2022, we'll see a resurgence in the UK.

    ooooohhh this finally explains all those weird one off tuner cars in Gran Turismo! It's so cool to see the stories behind those cars, as a kid playing GT2-6 I never knew what the Mines skylines or that crazy red evo with a million horsepower were, and I suspect many of the other tuner cars (Amuse GT1 Turbo?) were built for similar purposes
