Redline Time Attack Final Round Coverage
While it's very unfortunate, a sour taste was left in the mouths of many who chose to compete in the Redline Time Attack Series in 2011. What made it far more sour was the fact that Redline had ended halfway through the season and after many teams had made the investment to become Franchise Teams. It was a sore lesson for Redline as well and a wound that will take some time to heal in the eyes of many in the North American Time Attack arena. However, what I witnessed at this round and at another round earlier in the year iss that Time Attack enthusiasts will still go where a record needs to be broken.
The drivers I spoke to at both rounds seemed to not be bothered by past events and instead focused on the track they were at. Beyond that, most drivers were comfortable and felt like Redline was on the right track even in Street Class. I bring it up specifically because it was the hot topic before the start of the 2013 season with the turbo restrictor. Again, speaking to the drivers that actually were in competition for the entire year, they were no longer bothered by the idea. Most even seemed to welcome it as the restrictor could be removed when they entered another series that didn't require it.
