This heavily modified Japanese work truck is the Time Attack hero you never knew you wanted.

Moving from motorcycle circuit racing to the four-wheeled kind, Shawn Bassett and his team at Attacking The Clock Racing have put together this amazing full carbon bodied 240Z. Shawn let us into his workshop and talks us through his Pike's Peak competing car.

The Drift Games world tour continues and we've landed at SEMA 2023! We go in-depth with the owners and builders of some of the craziest builds of the show. From carbon widebody time-attack kei trucks to triple plated chrome etched 2JZ powered JZX's... Is it time to ask the question, how far can we take car culture?

"The Audi RS3 in the Toyo Treadpass, ready for a hillclimb, is one of Attacking The Clock Racing's spectacular projects for SEMA 2022."

Shawn Bassett's time attack Skyline is destined for Pikes Peak and he's brought it to the track for a full shakedown. The car’s stroked and turbocharged RB inline-six produces an incredible 850hp and with some help from some pretty extreme aero, the car glues itself to the circuit.

Displayed in the Toyo Treadpass is this Audi built by Shawn Bassett, owner of Attacking the Clock Racing. Inspired by Audi’s IMSA 90 Quattro GTOs (check out those AeroDiscs on the BC Forged wheels), the all-carbon body is 10 inches wider than stock and gets a wing-heavy, time-attack and hill-climb-friendly aero treatment. 

“There’s a tremendous amount you have to do for a ’90s car to compete with modern Porsche GT3s on a road course,” he continues, and to that end, Bassett proceeded to build a dedicated Pikes Peak racer that incorporates myriad custom and one-off components.

Shawn Bassett and his shop, Attacking the Clock Racing, know a few things about building time attack cars. When Shawn and team showed up at Super Lap Battle earlier this year with a fresh GT-R build, I was eager to take a look.
