Gotta go for the underdog! MCA suspension S13

2

Had to vote with my head on this one ... good lineup ...

3

can you really only pick one

4

Despite my passion for RX-7's, the win this year definitely goes to Suzuki-san and his Scorch Racing Silvia. That thing is an absolute monster and a very well-built machine!

5

FXMD NSX!! THE BEST OF 2011!!!

6

So many evolutions! gotta have love for the boxer though, Hankook Subaru WRX all the way.

8

fxmd nsx all the way

9

Fighter Engineering Suzuki Cappuccino..... i had to do it. Love that car

10

This award should be given to whoever is fastest.

11

I have a tC!

12

I'd normally hump Sierra, but I have to throw down for Evasive. EOS. <3

13

krb audi all the way

14

FXMD for the win

15

Garage Revolution RX-7

16

Couldn't decide btween the NSX's RX-7's, and S15, in the end the NSX came on top, because was a surprise for this year, the others are around for quite a while

17

I wanted to vote for an RX7, or even for prepp'd's insane Exige, but I have to be honest with my vote. I voted for the Cyber Evo. Not because I have an Evo, I don't. Not because its popular or cool or everyone else will vote for it, I don't care about that kind of stuff. Not because its the underdog or unpopular or nobody will vote for it, I don't care about that stuff either.



I voted for it because I concede it was the best time attack car of the year.



xD

18

Voted for FXMD... but where is GST's Subaru "L"?

19

Cyber evo... feel like that cars beast

20

This car broke and set several records...

21

Seriously?? Not a mention of GST?

22

They have been raising the bar everytime, they are a good inspirational company!!!

23

Awesome build!!

25

Definetley going to be the FXMD Honda NSX for me, that thing is wicked.

26

Really tough choice they're all great cars

27

why no GST Motorsports impreza...!!!

28

I love how some of the rear wings are bigger then the car itself.

I went for the KRB Audi Quattro, bet yeh some really nice autos to choose from.

29

seems to be ALOT of pinnacle TA cars missing from this list, mostly North american cars, that have been holding it down for TA in the states. Then there is alot of TA cars from other nations ive never even heard of, but are clean cars

30

Just like !!

32

Kyushudanji-Tomiyoshi Racing NSX good

33

KRB Audi Quattro, just the only car that left me speechless just reading about it.

34

Some of those cars have the dumbest aero ever seen.

35

gotta love TA skylines!!

37

I had to go with the MCA S13. The fact it was a father and son build, mostly, is awesome. Next would be the Mestro, since I love Group B, then the Quattro.

38

GT Auto Garage / HKS Australia R35 GT-R Realy Cool

40

Garage Revolution FTW

41

Panspeed always had a place in my heart <3

42

i had to vote for chris rado's tc1. taking an unloved ff chassis and doing what is he's done to it gets all the props i could give to him

43

is everywhere..lol

45

Sooo...many....choices! Its hard to Choose!

46

fastest in the track

47

Evasive Evo is the best...

50

A 6R4... I had no choice but to vote for it in memory of group b. Awesome job with the list guys!

51

Everyone knows Chris Rados TC is F*cking badass. It doesnt need the votes. Ill go with the TS-Racing Audi A3

52

My vote goes to Sierra SIerra Evo rear diffuser,,,

53

Ex-Group B Quatto. Awesome!

54

oh man 12 of these cars are worthy of my vote but i cant make my mind up of which one gets the vote!



i thinks is gotta be the Scorch Racing S15 Silvia......still waiting for some desktops of this car after its first spotlight that Dino did!!!

55

personally i'd vote for the pulse racing evo, showed great promise.

56

6R4. I love them.

57

The some N/A among turbo warrior...Go Panspeed Rx-7....

58

Go Rom !!!!!

59

Best is the fastest, Cyber Evo

60

Panspeed RX-7, just because it's SO DAMN PRETTY!

61

for real hard choice....

62

Evasive Motorsports, grassroots crew ftw! always keepin it real!

63

Good luck Nik "Spartan" Kalis

64

no scorch s15? :(

65

I wanted to vote for an Ozzie car but Scorch gets my vote because I own an S15 myself and it was built by a little man in a shed. Outstanding effort and a inspiration to backyard builders worldwide.

66

sadly, can only vote one car....

67

Garage Revolution RX7!

68

Where's the Hankook USA impreza? I chose the Tomiyoshi racing NSX as it's one of the fastest NA-cars in tsukuba as far as i know.

69

Garage Revolution RX7!

70

A hard choice between the World Racing Scion TC and the FXMD NSX. I went with the NSX, but the Scion has done things no other FWD car has ever done.

71

s15 time attack car yeaah buddy :)

72

Tomiyoshi Racing NSX 56.9 FTW!!!! ohh and N/A

73

What about Handbrakes GTR in the articles main photo!!

74

So many cars from AUS!! Winning! i live close to gt auto and mercury auto. those guys are insane

75

Respect for the Metro 6R4 - Sorry Rotary!! :(

76

really... no GST?

77

fxmd nsx FTW

78

Gawd that was tough.

79

I voted for the ADVAN R34 of Mark Berry. It's not the best photo of it though. When the heavy fiberglass aero is replaced by carbon fiber and the proper turbos are put back on it could win Yokohama World Time Attack 2012. But the Tilton Interiors Evo and Mark Hansen's R35 will be a threat. These will be the fastest Australian cars.

80

Definitely the only evo 8

81

gotta get some Metro 6R4 love in there

82

Suzuki-san cool!

84

evevasive' evo 9 awesome build awesome guys

87

no gst subaru?



fuck this list.

88

gotta love time attack scafffolding

89

KRB Audi but was a hard choice too many weapons there

90

FXMD most definitely.

92

i think rado's machine 'born to b a time attack car'

93

morpowa 180

94

Insane machine

95

Hottest FD on the planet. Work of art.

96

Where's the GST Motorsports Impreza?

97

Sierra-Sierra Enterprises FTW!!!

98

Looks good to me!

99

I think you guys should've also add the evasive s2000.

100

Awesome car and driving from Romain

101

MOAT S14 OR SCORCH S15?! >.<

102

FXMD Took Sierra Sierra's US records away this year and that was at buttonwillow is really meant for AWD cars. That lap at Infineon they did is unreal. That has got to be the fastest time attack car on earth, they must be going unreal fast in the corners.

103

Cyber is still king

104

Holding it down in cali to me is evasive

105

nik has worked the hardest to get there imo

106

Campervan hire ensures you have a wonderful journey with all the freedom to move around at your sweet pace. Winter is the best time to book your campervan, so go ahead and make great arrangements for the Christmas vacations.

107

Mean and sleek car, great driver-fantastic improvement over the last couple of years!

108

Good Lack Spartan!!! Go for it Nik !!!

109

Suzuki-san's S15. privateer built. much respect

110

yall need to add GST up there pronto!!!!!!!!!

111

Cyber Evo FTW!too many accomplishments to list.

112

The KRB is a tube chassie car.

113

The KRB is a tube chassie car.

114

I must vote for GT Auto Garage / HKS Australia Carbon R35.

115

Car that holds most records " FXMD NSX"!!!!

116

My fav is the Suzuki Cappucino. I drive a Lancer Evo, but I know that the Cappucions are very crazy and very quick. so this one is my favorite! And it is a very unusual car! Whats about the Honda CRX?

117

FXMD Honda NSX, the evolution of this car since last year is just amazing

118

dumbest aero? which ones in particular? jus curious if you are a aero engineer? Maybe you can help out with input

119

monster wars!!

121

what can i say......simply gifted

122

MCA suspension for me, because it pretty much shows the meaning of time attack. No limits!

123

EVASIVE for the crown! California's KING.

124

Cyber won the challenge so it should win this by default.

125

best example of german engineering.

greetings from germany

126

"whatever said:

Some of those cars have the dumbest aero ever seen."



chris rado scion by any chance?

127

Gotta back the Hi-Octane car

128

CRX ALL THE WAY

129

My vote took a bit time, but Scorch S15 got it.

Love the car, and the results of a amateur race driver.



The Evasive evo and the FXMD NSX are looking great.

Too many awsome cars.

130

Guys, you got to have respect for the CRX...........a true giant killer!



I love my NSX's, EVO's, FD's etc but to "have a go" with a FWD you got to know what you own inside and out and take that to the apexes!

131

The CRX is a true giant killer and is what TA stands for, by taking a 'normal everyday' streetcar and tuning it to near destruction and to then go and beat the usual marques. All the other cars are fantastic of course but the CRX for me really shows what can be done when you have a passion for real street tuning. Plus the owner/tuner is french........and they never win anythng lol

132

FXMD NSX for me, they seem to have the best year and love the lowkey approach of the team.

133

Scorch s15 is the winner!

tip of the cap to the Revolution RX7 for being gorgeous and SSE Evo for being so damn fast :)

134

FXMD NSX hands down and proven the quickest Time Attack in the US if not the world. running probably the smallest race budget then any other car in its class. time and time again

135

KRB Audi Quattro! definetly, witht he most awesome design ever! and extreme power too!

136

Wow, what a hard choice. Every one of these machines is a worthy winner.

137

BEST: KRB Quattro. WORST- Scion TC...fff*cking over budget, unrealistic.....slow clown car.

138

My vote go to chris rado....only cause its bloody different!!!

139

KRB Audi S1 FTW!

140

Romain's CRX. THE fastest FWD in the Time Attack. So much they had to bump him up to Club Pro.

141

I was first going to vote Revolution RX-7, but when I saw Romain's CRX, I couldn't help vote for him : I'm following this car on the net for years from the roots and knowing the amount of work and the way he did it makes you realize how much you have to invest when you start all by yourself.



Plus, I had an ECU tuned by him on my ex CRX, surely the best you can find for a nearly stock D16A9.



Continues comme ça Piv ;)

142

Chris Rado's WORLD Racing Scion FWD Fwing, HANDS DOWN the best!!!

143

@Rob - "Handbrakes" R35 is the QSCAN/Mercury Motorsport R35 GTR, which is included in this list. The main pic to this article is also of it, but that was on its "shakedown" at QR, so without the signwriting etc.

144

Bozz Speed Evo. Only because I've been in love with that car since the Bozz feature they had in Sport Compact Car in 2001 or so. There are far better cars on the list, but that one will always be my favourite.

145

Missing some cars here.. how about LIC motorsports, Sportcar Motion, snail , and GST

147

Unfortunatelly we can choose just one car.....I could choose 4-5 cars.

148

i'm throwing a vote at gt auto's car. to see this thing in real life is just amazing....... will be a major contenor at wtac12.

149

No LIC or GST Imprezas : (



Sierra-Sierra evo gets my vote

150

So.... GST Motorsports Subaru not even considered huh.

151

Scorch Racing S15 Silvia...its a private owned race car, at the end of the day he is the one that pays all the bill...and he went to australia WOW something that big money teams didnt do because of money

152

This is a hard one to answer, the WRX is soo goodlooking, and the Exige is my altime faveorite car... but i have an RX-7 and that meens loyalty!

153

Scorch Racing S15 Silvia

154

Scorch S15 - cos Suzuki-san is doing it for pure love of the sport

155

FX for 2011 with CE close second



But so many significant TA cars missing and some laughable entries on this list. WTF!!!



156

Gavin Renshaw's NR Autosport EVO IX for the win!

157

of the top of my head, some North american TA cars i feel that shouldve at least been considered for this list



Mike Warfield's GST motorsports Impreza L

JC meynet's AQ motorsports Subaru STI

Noah and Adam levy's LIC motorsports Subaru STI

Byran Berk's Berk technology BMW 135i

Matt Andrews 949racing/nitto tire carbon bodies Mazda Miata

Loi Song's Sport car motion DC2 Acura integra Type R

Chris Millar's 034 motorsports Audi A4

Doug Wind's Modern Performance SRT4

Clint Boisdeau's Apollo performance/Garrett turbos Ford focus

^last one is because i feel ive worked hard for a long time to get my car to record holding status in socal

158

one more i forgot, the Cobb tuning Nissan GTR R35

160

I'm an norwegian, so the choise was easy..

KRB Quattro got my vote :)

161

I love cyber evo since I find it in video game "racing battle c1 grand prix" on sony playstation 2

162

exceed Moet s14a is really impressive, but that KRB audi s1 is a monster! too bad there only a rare import in Australia. all these cars are awesome and a event with all these cars must happen in the near future, that would be a event!. KRB gets my vote

163

Ha ha, that Suzuki is hilarious, completely unexpected! Had to vote for the S15 though, what a beast.

164

KRB Audi all the way. The only thing faster than this in the 2011 season was a full on 700 hp Porsche Factory built Le Mans car. Which is pretty much the fastest production based car anywhere.

165

FXMD NSX definitely set the bar by smashing and setting records this season!

166

FXMD, SETTING RECORDS AS ALWAYS

167

Scorch Racing S15 aka. David vs Goliath.

168

Is this "The time attack car of the year" or everyones favorite time attack car of the year... because the cyber evo spanked every one of these cars in this year of time attack

169

Metro 6R4 (Mark Pollard) is awesome and gets my vote!

170

Good luck KRB :)

171

I have a lot of respect for Suzuki-san and his S15.

172

Sierra-Sierra EVO!

173

For sheer driver and car harmony, Romain Levesques CRX is a total giant killer.



FWD mixing it with the best of 4WD UK Time Attack Cars deserves to not only be in this list but deffo gets my vote!



Some awesome cars in the list!

174

Drews gtr FTW. (hks r35!)

176

Wheres the Turn in Concepts wrx? Or Professional Awesomes evo 7?

177

Metro 6R4 all British Car Spanks the Japs gets my vote.

178

I already knew my choice once i read the title... FXMD Honda NSX

179

Omitting GST from this list is a crime against zoomanity!



FXMD had a hell of a November though, so they get my vote.

180

FXMD FTW!!!!!!

181

The Audi looks cool, I dig the looks of the R35 as well!

182

MCA S13 takes the win for me. Definately the underdog that surprised the hell out of everyone at WTAC this year. Only a bee's dick off the Pro Open times..

183

i love u guys nsx...

184

The World Racing Tc has my vote. That's a bad machine!

185

WHERE THE F... IS THE MK SPORTS VARIS EVO ???

186

WHERE THE F... IS THE MK SPORTS VARIS EVO???

188

Romain Levesque's Honda CRX - Built with passion - Raced with all his heart !

189

Thiis year there is no one that can come close to FXMD crew , car is on of the oldest on the track but still sets records at EVERY track they race at !

190

Nik Kalis Evo for the simple reason of privateer power.

191

You gotta go for the giant killing CRX, that thing is just AWESOME!

192

The GTS/HKS/Goldray GTR is special.

193

It has to be the Scorch S15!

194

How can you say the Cyber EVO spanked all the other entries in the list as it has never been to the UK and if it did dare to go (I heard it has been invited) then it would face its biggest challenges by far........perhaps thats why it hasnt gone!!

195

Great Line Up CRX was awesome this yr :)

196

i can only say this to Cyber EVO , come to USA and get spanked at the track of your choice.



$1k donation from me if they beat all US teams .

197

Romain Levesque's Honda CRX - Built with passion - Raced with all heart!

198

Thiis year there is no one that can come close to FXMD crew , car is on of the oldest on the track but still sets records at EVERY track they race at !

199

CYBER EVO RUNNING ISHHH

200

So much car built by big industry, just one with passion and love, the CRX. The better for me, and the best, 1st season in time attack Romain win all of the time he run .... RESPECT

201

the little car rocks

202

Cuber evo num1

203

GT Auto R35 gets my vote HKS will be # 1 again

204

I think GT auto R35 with all of the HKS goodies ohh yeah

205

Has to be the GT Auto / HKS Australia R35 GTR of course ;)

It has also been invited to Japan next year for the R35 Battle at Fuju Speedway.

Congratulations on being Australia's fastest R35 GTR.

206

Tomiyoshi NSX & driver got the best record in time attack, Great team !!

207

hard 2 choose but I had to go with the cyber evo

208

Roman Levesque's CRX gets my vote. The man has talent in building ,tuning and driving.

209

The NR Autosport Evo IX driven by Gav Renshaw spanked everyone at 2011 UK Time Attack. Give it chance up against the likes of the Cyberevo and then see which is best!

210

GO GO GO Romain crx

211

MCA Suspension S13!) I know.. They are great guyz, i support them! This may not be the best, but the soul they put into is wonderful..

212

I can choose!!!!! Thats impossible... (

213

The KRB S1 tube chassis and a well sick engine! Go Kai!

214

KRB Audi Quattro is the best:-)

215

Gavin Renshaw's NR Autosport EVO IX, go on!!

216

Krb ftw.. truly awsome.. insane..

217

that little capp is gettin it

219

CRX Romain. all the way

220

KRB quattro!

222

I don't care what the japs are doing...i voted for the Quattro!

223

TS-racing A3 of course (too much japs here)

224

I vote for SVA Imports!!!

225

I vote for SVA Imports!!!

226

I vote for 'SVA Imports EVO'

227

SVA IMPORTS EVO FOR SURE!! CANT STOP WONT STOP!!

228

I have an unconditional love for FDs... But I just had to go with that CRX! YOu just can't beat simplicity!

229

tough list. im sure there will be considerations given next year. maybe this category might need to be broken up in to different classes. fwd/awd/rwd. with this classing you have some very solid cars in each category that i think will yield a truer sense from the masses of how they feel about TA and each class. DSG, FXMD, SCM, GST, World Racing, Professional Awesome, Clint, UMS, 034 and no doubt im missing quite a few from the states but the world wide crews definitely deserve some props as well. very tough call, might have to not vote.

230

it's so hard to choose - some guys you want to vote for just because of what they built - yet my instinct tells me to vote for the fastest times - yet all of these cars are fast for different reasons........... let's be honest, Time Attack is literally the "I can't hate a single competitor" kind of sport. The greatest kind

231

SVA Imports EVO' to win!

232
