2014 World Time Attack Challenge
Posted on October 22, 2014
As most people know we have attended WTAC in previous years with the infamous NEMO, a car that not only won in 2012 but well known for redefining the category and paving the way for a new generation of 'Open Class' cars.
It was exciting to be part of the NEMO build but for reasons beyond our control we no longer have a relationship with the car or anyone associated with it...
We didn't run any cars this year (other than some technical support for our MRT VIP Danny Irvine in his MX5 20B PP) and instead setup a shared display with Motorsport Brakes who were there promoting their WINMAX brake pads as well as the new line of 'CIRCO' racing pads.
Danny Irvine loving the extra grip from his MR Tuned suspension and giving it plenty in his purpose built MX5.

Our display was made up of two cars, MRT Ambassador Shane Jones's FD RX7 and our MR Tuning 'Hero Car' the genuine 1990 ex Alex Caffi Footwork Arrows A11B F1. This is the actual car that came 5th at Monaco in 1990 driven by Alex Caffi.
He wasn't as successful the following year after they switched to Porsche power crashing out in practice.
As a special treat we fired it up so people got to hear what a an 'old school' Ford V8 F1 sounded like before the crazy plethora of technology we have seen since then. Needless to say, the crowd loved it..!!
Time Attack is a fantastic category accessible to everyone and allows you to build a car to suit your budget and ambition level to compete in a community of like minded car enthusiasts.
Regardless of whether you are just getting started in Motorsport or you are a seasoned pro and want to launch an all-out-attack on WTAC 2015 get in touch today so we can get started and make it a reality..!!
World Time Attack crowds gets bigger every year and we can see why, it's fast, competitive and accessible..!!
The gorgeous MRT girls soaking up the atmosphere and making MR Tuning just that little bit sexier... :)
