GT-R R35 vs. GT-R R34 Time Attack

GT-R R35 vs. GT-R R34 Time Attack

We wish we could share a bit more information about this video from speedandmotion but the footage is going to have to speak for itself.

Two GT-Rs get pitted against each other in this Time Attack video. Does the new kid on the block have the upper hand in this battle? We don't know! Well, not for sure, anyway. But one look at how that R35 handles the turns in this Time Attack and we're pretty sure the latest generation of this must-have ride kicked some serious ass out there on the track.

Watch the GT-R R35 vs GT-R R34 Time Attack and see who you'd put your money on.

In case you missed it a couple of weeks back, here's the First GT-R Sold In The USA getting unveiled in SoCal.

Tarzan Yamada R32 GTR Time Attack

Tarzan Yamada R32 GTR Time Attack

Respect to Clashprod , they always have us on board with awesome drivers at the best tracks.

Case in point, this Time Attack video shot at Silverstone. We're in-car with Tarzan Yamada in his VW R32 GTR, plus getting a feel for the whole event.

Get a ride down pit row, check out the other cars competing, see the drivers getting ready and the cars lining up.

Sounds like this was an awesome race with all the cars extremely close in the final timings. As the dudes at the end explain, you can run any car, with any set up, whatever you want - turbo, nitrous, you name it - but you have to be running Toyo street tires. So, in the end, you get a very closely-fought Time Attack.

Take a ride with Tarzan Yamada R32 GTR

Skunk2 Racing's Time Attack Evo On A Dyno

Skunk2 Racing's Time Attack Evo On A Dyno

Skunk2 Racing have been kind enough to upload a sneak peak at their latest effort before it hits the track, and they've cut it to The Prodigy: bonus!

Their Time Attack Mitsubishi Evolution looks like a monster! They aren't revealing too many details of what modifications they've made but the engine compartment is packed full of parts that just scream "MORE POWER".

Watch and listen as the crew puts the car through its paces on the dyno, taking the car to its 7,000rpm redline as the speedo races up to 100mph and then plummets back to zero.

This car promises to be fast and we can't wait to see it tackle its first Time Attack.

We have absolutely no idea what these dudes are saying but the cars in this Evo 5 Laps Battle video speak for themselves.

Check out the Skunk2 Time Attack Evolution

450hp Lotus Elise Time Attack

450hp Lotus Elise Time Attack

We're literally riding on the front bumper in this video from Clashprod

You can almost touch the race track in this excellent Lotus Elise Time Attack video.

Steve Guglielmi takes us around the Lotus Elise Pro Challenge in his 450hp British rocket ship! That car is quick! Not surprising, we suppose, when it only weighs 750kg (that's 1,653 lbs to you and me).

Evidently, Steve's doing pretty well in the time attack since he's lapping everyone he encounters. Enjoy the scream of the engine and the thrill of riding right on top of the racing line.

For a look at why this car is so damn light - and quick - check out this tongue-in-cheek It's a Lotus commercial. Oh those Brits and their funny sense of humor...

Watch the Lotus Elise Time Attack video.
