GMG has won the SuperStreet/Eurotuner/NASA Time Attack Finale held at Buttonwillow!
The Time Attack is sort of "Time Trialing" competition based on a Japanese format of elimination. Fastest cars
advance to the final rounds based on lap times. There were 6 qualifying rounds held throughout the year at various tracks in
order to qualify for this event. Most recently GMG was able to win the qualifying round at Infineon Sears Point and set a new track record.
There more than 80 entrants at Buttonwillow competing for the overall win and 6 class titles on the line.
As expected, there were some very fast and very purpose built Time Attack cars by many of Japans top tuners.

The GMG/Rennworx/Dymag/Toyo Tires WCGT Porsche Cup car (#14 in World Challenge GT) driven by James Sofronas posted the fastest time of
the day taking the top prize of fastest car overall as well as winning the unlimited class overall.
The second place car was a 700+hp Skyline GTR purpose built and driven by one of Japans drift kings. Complete with wide body and shod
with Hoosier DOTR tires, the car was very powerful. The battle was intense, but James was able to put down a flier posting a 1:49:000
lap time compared to the XS Engineering Skyline GTR's time of 1:49:261. Very close indeed but the Porsche proved victorious!
GMG also won the "Limited" class which was open to any car (any configuartion) but had to be licensed and
insured for on road use, and had to run on a tire that was rated at 100 UTQ or more .
The GMG GT2, running on left over Toyo RA-1's (old race tires) won the limited production class overall
and had the 6th fastest time of the day (overall) at 1:53:4xx (over 3+ seconds faster than any car in its class)! Look for a complete story
on the event in the upcoming Super Street and Eurotuner Magazines.
