The 2nd Annual Super Lap Battle at the Circuit of The Americas did not disappoint this year! With the addition of the Gridlife Touring Cup (GLTC), Cars and Coffee, and the growing car show, this event had everything an enthusiast or professional could want in a single exciting package.
Let’s take a look at what we experienced at this stunning Motorsport event.
3,000 Spectators and Growing
Lone Star Drift teamed up for the second year in a row and 742 Marketing helped bring the car show to life. This year, there were over 45 time attack drivers, over 15 Gridlife GTLC competitors, over 120 registered cars for the show, and over 900 cars for the Cars and Coffee event.
The Super Lap Battle continues to grow. Not only were there 3,000 spectators in attendance, but we were also proud to host two World Time Attack Legends: Brett Dickie and Barton Mower from Australia.
And it wasn’t just about the race! A car show throughout the weekend drew quite a bit of attention (and even raised some money for a local charity). It was everything an enthusiast could hope for and more.
Nick Stentiford’s Honda S2000
Nick Stentiford represented R1Concepts by competing in the Gridlife Touring Cup and finished in the top 10. Stentiford competed in the time attack format last year at this event on our R1 Carbon GEOMET Series Rotors. This year, he upgraded to our R1 Forged Series Big Brake Kit and was able to go even faster and be more competitive in the open wheel GLTC event.
The specs for Nick Stentiford’s Honda S2000:
- Nick Stentiford Honda S2000
- R1 Forged Series Big Brake Kit
- Front: 6 Piston 330mm
- Rear: 4 Piston 330mm
We’re incredibly proud of this performance and honored for this showing. This event is becoming more competitive every year, and we anticipate some great things in the future. Congratulations Nick!
Looking into the Future with the Annual Super Lap Battle
The 2nd Annual Super Lap Battle is going to be even bigger for 2021, and the future of time attack here in North America is rapidly growing — and will continue to grow for years to come. Media sponsors included Time Attack News, Super Street, #motolyric, FrontStreet, and motoiq — and this list is expected to expand. Sanctioned by SCCA Pro Racing, the Annual Super Lap Battle can be found on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.
We’re incredibly optimistic about the community in North America and the strength and heart of the competition. We look forward to producing even better technology to give our competitors the edge they need to continue to perform at their best!
