For many super car owners in Scandinavia, Gran Turismo Baltica has been a tradition since 2012. Every summer 50 teams go to Pärnu to enjoy the race track auto24ring.
We are getting fast. Some of the fastest lap times around the track are set during this event. In fact, the current lap record was set during Gran Turismo Baltica 2015. This is creating a lot of attention from other really fast drivers in Sweden, Finland, Poland, Russia and the Baltic states.
Hence, for Gran Turismo Baltica 2017, we are organising a Time Attack Challenge. It is time to see who really is the fastest driver, and who is the King of Estonia!
If you want to enter the Time Attack Challenge, you will have special driving sessions for timed laps on the track. There are three different classes. The object for you is to set the best possible lap time in your class. The ones who win their class get fame and bragging rights in every bar and track driving event in Europe.
This new part of Gran Turismo Baltica will be managed by the Swedish time attack guru Mikael Jarosinski. Mikael has been running the very successful Scandinavian time attack series TimeattackNU.se since 2012. You can read more about the series here: https://www.facebook.com/Timeattacknu.
The challenge is going to have the following three classes:
Street: < 510 HP (no slicks)
Pro: > 510 HP (no slicks)
Unlimited: Race car with slicks (no formula cars)
Updated track driving schedule
If you chose to participate in the Time Attack Challenge (and become the King of Estonia) you have designated driving sessions for training and timing. The main slot is during the lunch break of the track, between 12 and 13 each day. The second designated slot is during the afternoon.
