Announcing the 2011 Ontario Time Attack Season

[ONTimeAttack]

The 2011 Ontario Time Attack Season is just around the corner! We have 9 events scheduled this year at; Mosport DDT, Shannonville Motorsports Park (all configurations), and Mosport International Raceway.

We are also running two track schools this year where you can learn fundamental and advanced driving skills. The first school will be held at Mosport DDT, the other at Mosport International Raceway. These schools aren’t just for “newbies”, even if you’ve done some lapping before, the schools will make you faster!

Ontario Time Attack (previously “Solosprint” or “Solo1”) is re-launching this year with an all new event format that includes more lapping time, hired marshals and new sponsors. It remains one of the most affordable forms of motorsport and competes on some of Ontario’s best race tracks.

We offer a car classification system that strives to enable a wide range of vehicles, from stock to highly modified, to compete as evenly as possible. Thanks to our sponsors, we expect to give away prizes with a cumulative value of over $10,000!

Visit our “getting started” page here for details on what you need in order to get started. The Open House is coming up soon and early bird discounts are available!

The 2011 Ontario Time Attack series is now underway! June 4th and June 5th at the DDT ran smoothly, despite initially unfavourable weather on Saturday. OTA's new paid marshals have allowed for more time on the track for everyone, with plenty of lapping and competition time.

Click for pictures and results from June 4/5th.

Our next series of events are coming up fast! The weekend of June 18th and 19th takes the series to Shannonville Motorsports Park. The pre-pay discounted rate is available until Wednesday June 15th.

Following that, Saturday July 9th is the Mosport International Raceway school, a good chance to learn the big track in a fun and safe way. Sunday July 10th is our first of several competition days at MIR.

There is still time to sign up for any one of these events, contact ontariotimeattack AT gmail.com to register or visit our forum.

Competitor and spectator safety is a priority at Ontario Time Attack. Novices are given instruction until they are signed off, professional marshals are used to control traffic, and safe driving is enforced.

I am interested in July 9 / July 10 and August 26. Are those events happening in a big course, not DDT? How much will it cost? Can I just show up? (don't want to race in the rain) How much time do we have on the track ?

also very interested. This what we need!

Those events are on the big track. A typical competition day will give you approximately three 20 minute open sessions in the morning, sometimes some open lapping at lunch (although usually not at big track). In the afternoon you get 2-3 competition sessions (3 hot laps, + 1 warmup/1 cooldown each session). At the end of the day the track is opened up for whatever time is left over.

The lapping and school days will give you more track time.

Please email our registrar at ontariotimeattack@gmail.com, he will be able to fill you in on pricing and what you need to compete. Typically walk-in pricing is a bit higher than the pre-pay option and big track days often sell out in advance, but the registrar will be able to look at the current registration numbers and give you some advice.

For what it is worth I think big track in the rain is pretty fun. Lots of grip, unlike the DDT in the rain. You do have to be careful though.
